CNN Studio A/B - Washington

The over-arching challenge was to combine 2 separate studio environments to create one expansive environment, while maintaining the independent studios for simultaneous broadcast. This was accomplished by the installation of a glass curtain wall that could be retracted to create a single large studio, or closed to divide the studio into 2 distinct studio environments. The 2 studios share a 27-foot long vista wall which uses technology to provide a heroic view of the US Capitol Building. An additional 24-foot vista wall and pivoting 103” monitor provide support for editorial and news content in one studio, while the other features a 22-foot rear-projection screen and a wild 85” monitor. The total HD-monitor count comes to 58. This technology combined with LED lightbox walls and tracery detailing make the CNN DC studios state-of-the-art Today the In-game studio is a direct recreation of the real life Washington studio and is used for production of roleplay government coverage.
