ABC 7 Hudson Square

At DetaiLED® we were deeply engaged from early technical design through final commissioning of the LED display infrastructure integrated into the new headquarters at 7 Hudson Square — a landmark studio and production facility for ABC News, ESPN and related Disney operations. Working in conjunction with Electrosonic (who served as AV-systems integrator and design partner) and other collaborators (set designer teams, lighting-design firms, studio robotics providers, etc.), we provided the direct-view LED video walls, LED-floor elements and dynamic video-volume backdrops that anchor the storytelling environment.

For example, the flagship Studio B (home to The View and Tamron Hall) features floor-wrapping LED surfaces and full-wall LED volumes, powered by broadcast-grade control systems, which we supplied and integrated alongside Electrosonic's broader AV infrastructure platform.

Leveraging our expertise in high-resolution LED displays optimized for live-broadcast lighting, we collaborated closely with Electrosonic to align the display-architecture with the studios’ multi-show production requirements, IP-based distribution, HDR workflows and future-proof scalability. Our scope included engineering the display modules for seamless integration with the set design (by Clickspring Design for the WABC set, for example), developing calibration workflows to meet broadcast colour-space and brightness requirements, and coordinating mounting, maintenance access and serviceability within the live-studio schedule. Additionally we supported the commissioning process — including final uniformity verification, firmware‐validation and on‐site tuning with the lighting and camera teams — ensuring the visual performance met the high-end expectations of a major network suite.

In essence, DetaiLED®’s role was to supply the visual “canvas” — the flexible, high-impact LED media surfaces — while working hand-in-hand with Electrosonic (AV systems integrator), the set & scenic teams, and lighting/production engineers to deliver a future-ready broadcast ecosystem at 7 Hudson Square that supports ABC’s flagship news and talk-programming.
