Tu cara me suena returns with a sixth series on Antena 3. Not much has changed with regard to format, but they have made spectacular changes in the stage set. Sono, as specialist in audiovisual integration, have yet again been selected as provider, and are suppliying the rental of LED screes, technical material and technicians for assistance with recording and live programming.

For this stage set we employed 156 square metres of LED screens with differing resolutions, where were arranged as follows:

Side LED displays measuring 6 x 3 metres and with a resolution of 3.9 mm for the score displays

An arched, concave central screen measuring 16 x 2.5 metres and with a pixel pitch of 4.8mm

Side platforms for the acces stairs in differing sizes, and resolutions of 4.8 and 4 mm

Coverage of the 11 convex steps with a flexible LED display, also in different sizes but with a resolution of 4mm

An LED screen for the judges table, measuring 3 x 0.5 metres, and with a resolution of 2.9 mm

An abstract construction for the background to the jury with a resolution of 4.8 mm

A screen for the background to the stage entrance measuring 2.5 x 2.5 metres and with a 4.8mm pixel pitch

Setting up the hanging concave and convex displays, was one of the main challenges of this project. The flexible screen was extermely delicate, and as this covered the speciallbuilt structure of the stage acces stairs, it meant that it was difficult to handle and install.

A new 4K MCTRL processor developed by NOVASTAR was employed for configuring and managing the screen content, allowing several LED displays of up to 3840 x 2160 to be managed by each processor.

Sono staff will give support and provide technical assistance for the LED displays for the 13 episodes planned for this season. It is one of the highest viewed programmes on prime time Friday night TV.
