#IBC2026 @LeyardEurope Broadcast #LED Stand 9.D01
According to an announcement published September 2, 2026, Leyard Europe says it will showcase its Planar DirectLight Pro Series LED video walls in a live studio production environment at Stand 9.D01 at IBC 2026, with two DirectLight Pro displays and a curved LN Series banner integrated into an end-to-end ST 2110 IP-based workflow with KST Moschkau, Panasonic and Brompton Technology.
Leyard Europe has announced plans to exhibit its broadcast-focused LED display solutions at IBC 2026, positioning Planar DirectLight Pro Series video walls as the centerpiece of a live studio production environment at Stand 9.D01. According to the announcement published September 2, 2026, the company says the demonstration will integrate two DirectLight Pro displays alongside a curved LN Series LED banner within a functioning studio setup developed in collaboration with KST Moschkau, Panasonic, and Brompton Technology. The installation aims to show how LED technology performs in real broadcast conditions rather than in isolation, with the full production workflow operating on an ST 2110 IP-based infrastructure.
The primary installation will comprise a 12 by 6 cabinet DirectLight Pro display serving as the main visual backdrop, complemented by a second 4 by 6 cabinet display in portrait configuration and a curved LN Series LED banner wrapping around the front and sides of the studio. The combined demonstration will illustrate how LED can be integrated into sophisticated studio environments where image quality, color consistency, reliability, and camera performance are critical requirements. Visitors will be able to experience the live production environment throughout the event, including guest presenters, panels, and interviews, with the DirectLight Pro Series displays operating as part of a functioning studio production.
The demonstration embeds the technology within a complete production workflow. Leyard Europe's Territory Head Benelux, Robin van der Heiden, said the goal is to show what DirectLight Pro can deliver in a real studio environment — from image quality and color performance through to the practical benefits of a high-performance, front-serviceable solution. Working alongside KST Moschkau, Panasonic, and Brompton Technology allows Leyard Europe to demonstrate that performance as part of an integrated production workflow rather than as a standalone component.
The DirectLight Pro Series is designed specifically for demanding studio and on-camera applications, combining fine pixel pitch technology with high brightness, high refresh rates, HDR support, and front-serviceable design. The company lists technical specifications including a 0.9mm pixel pitch, brightness up to 1,000 nits, a refresh rate of 3,840Hz, a contrast ratio of 10,000:1, greater than 93% DCI-P3 color gamut, and HDR support. The display offers greater than 97% brightness and color uniformity, with viewing angles exceeding 170 degrees horizontally and 140 degrees vertically, designed to maintain consistent visual performance across a wide range of viewing positions. These specifications originate from Leyard Europe and have not been independently verified by third-party testing.
For studio environments, the display features fan-less operation with acoustic noise below 30 dBA to minimize unwanted noise around sound-sensitive production areas. The company also cites front service access and a 100,000-hour rated lifetime as supporting long-term, reliable operation. The 45-degree beveled cabinet edges are said to enable displays to wrap around 90-degree corners, supporting more creative studio configurations. A module locking mechanism supports the front service access design. The range is manufactured at its factory in Presov, Slovakia, providing European customers with stable pricing, short delivery times, and consistent quality.
The live production demonstration at IBC 2026 brings together four companies: Leyard Europe providing the DirectLight Pro video walls and curved LN Series banner; KST Moschkau supplying the CamBot studio automation platform, free-roaming robotics including KST-Mantis and KST-Elevion, and systems integration expertise; Panasonic contributing its KAIROS live production platform alongside PTZ and studio cameras; and Brompton Technology providing LED processing to support low-latency and color-accurate performance for the camera-ready displays. The wider demonstration will also showcase an end-to-end ST 2110 workflow, illustrating how the different technologies can work together across camera acquisition, studio automation, live production, LED processing, and visualization.
