Just in the kick-off of the Bundesliga, ZDF-Sport gets a new face. The Frankfurt studio Markgraph is behind the re-design. The design office was commissioned to design a visually and technically contemporary set design for the three sports formats "The current sports studio", "ZDF Sportreportage" and "ZDF Sportextra". "The current sports studio" is one of the classics of German television. The weekly magazine has been reporting on the world of sport for over 50 years. On August 19, 2017, the spectators can experience the cult broadcast up close in a dynamic all-round look. Leading motif: Media fan urvelitical motif of the new studio is a swarm from specially developed LED modules, the shape and arrangement of which was derived from a typical stadium motif: the swiveling Scarves in the fan curve. Thanks to the circular arrangement of the LED swarm and the expansion of the grandstand for the studio guests, the live audience and the spectators at home have the feeling of being in the middle of the action. The video-capable modules are not only characterized by their clear design, but also offer varied staging options in combination with large LED walls. The regular recurring structure of the "medial fan curve" creates a design calm and at the same time enables high flexibility in the application. With a change from open and condensed areas, the swarm design of the camera also allows a new dynamic game with the room. In this way, the goal wall shooting shines in a new light in the duel through integrated sensors and LED technology. The well -known studio oach also experiences digitization. Set modules such as moderation tables or kinetics elements formally take up the LED swarm and thus create a holistic picture. Black shiny surfaces give the sporting experience a more contrasting and more modern aura.
