A broadcast-grade SMD video wall for Government of Punjab press briefings and official addresses.
Fine-pitch P1.5 indoor SMD video wall installed in a Government of Punjab briefing room — calibrated for broadcast cameras, run for press conferences, scheduled official addresses, and televised announcements. Supplied, installed, calibrated, and supported by SMDSOLUTIONS.

The Government of Punjab needed a broadcast-grade SMD wall in its briefing room for press conferences, official addresses, and televised announcements. The wall had to be camera-correct (no scan-line moiré), colour-accurate to broadcast standards, and operable through routine government communications schedules. SMDSOLUTIONS specified fine-pitch P1.5 indoor SMD, installed it inside a working government facility security envelope, and calibrated it against the broadcast cameras the room actually uses.
What the client needed.
- Broadcast camera correctness: any scan-line moiré or refresh artefact on TV is unacceptable for official government addresses. Refresh rate and processor genlock both had to be specified for camera capture.
- Colour accuracy: official branding has fixed colour values. The wall had to reproduce them inside a tight deltaE tolerance under broadcast lighting.
- Government facility security: install crew clearance, controlled access to the briefing room, escorted material movements, and after-hours-only work windows.
- Operational reliability: a wall used for live press conferences cannot fail mid-broadcast. Redundant power, hot-swappable modules, and standby processor were all in scope.
- Long-term content workflow: government communications staff — not LED specialists — needed to operate the wall day to day for routine announcements.
What we delivered.
- P1.5 indoor SMD modules selected for the close viewing distance of the press positions and for camera-correct fine detail.
- Broadcast-grade processor with full genlock to the room camera system — refresh rate, frame-rate, and timing all synchronised.
- Colour calibration against the room broadcast lighting performed during commissioning. DeltaE tolerance documented in the calibration report.
- Redundant power supplies, hot-swappable modules, and a standby processor configured for failover during live events.
- Cleared install crew, escorted material flow, and after-hours-only install windows agreed with the government facility security team.
- Communications-staff training programme: 4-hour hands-on workshop covering routine content scheduling, brightness adjustment, basic fault triage, and emergency power-down procedure.

How the project actually ran.
Briefing & security review
Government communications team brief, facility security review, and install-crew clearance process initiated.
Spec & broadcast review
P1.5 indoor SMD specified, broadcast camera system reviewed for genlock and refresh-rate compatibility, processor specification agreed.
Engineering sign-off
Structural mount, redundant power architecture, content-feed routing, and failover plan signed off with facilities and communications teams.
Cleared-crew install
After-hours-only install windows with escorted material flow inside the facility security envelope.
Broadcast calibration
Colour and refresh-rate calibration against the room broadcast cameras documented in the commissioning report.
Training & handover
Communications staff trained in a hands-on workshop. Operating manual, calibration report, and emergency procedures documented.
What changed after go-live.
Outcomes are stated as the client described them — we don't fabricate metrics, and we don't publish numbers a client hasn't signed off.
Wall operates camera-correct on every televised event — no scan-line moiré, no refresh-rate artefacts on broadcast.
Colour calibration sits within deltaE < 3 against broadcast reference — official branding reproduces faithfully.
Redundant power, hot-swappable modules, and standby processor mean a live press conference can absorb a hardware failure without going off-air.
Communications staff operate the wall day-to-day without LED specialist involvement — content scheduling, brightness adjustment, and fault triage all within their training scope.
Quarterly calibration sweep keeps the wall broadcast-correct over the full service life — no visible drift between annual recalibrations.

Specific questions answered for this project.
- Television cameras capture at a fixed shutter rate. If the LED wall refresh rate is too low or asynchronous to the camera, scan-line moiré appears as visible bands moving across the wall on the broadcast feed. For official government addresses there is no tolerance for that — 7,680 Hz refresh and full genlock to the room camera system eliminates the issue.
