RTVE Selects Alfalite NEOPIX For Its First Broadcast Deployment

Spain’s national public broadcaster, RTVE, has upgraded one of its main television production facilities in Madrid with the installation of two Alfalite NEOPIX 1.5 MATIX AlfaCOB LED screens, marking the first-ever deployment of NEOPIX technology in a broadcast environment.

The installation comprises two custom LED displays: a 7 x 2-metre curved screen and a 9 x 1-metre secondary display, both designed to meet the demanding requirements of daily television production. The screens will serve as the primary visual background for news, current affairs and interview-based programming.

The installed displays belong to NEOPIX, Alfalite’s premium LED family developed for critical applications where image consistency, reliability and long-term performance are essential. Featuring a 1.5 mm pixel pitch, the screens are well suited to broadcast environments that require close viewing distances and precise visual reproduction.

For this project, NEOPIX integrates MATIX AlfaCOB, Alfalite’s proprietary Chip-on-Board (COB) technology. This solution enhances LED protection, improves visual uniformity and optimises thermal dissipation, while also providing a more robust and easy-to-maintain surface — key advantages for intensive use in television studios.

This latest installation builds on a collaboration that began in 2021, when Alfalite first supplied LED technology to RTVE as part of a wider studio modernisation programme. In 2023, that programme included the deployment of 964 Alfalite ModularPix Pro 1.9 ORIM LED modules across multiple RTVE production facilities in Madrid and regional centres.
