When SKAI TV unveiled its renewed studio in Neo Faliro, it marked more than a visual refresh – it was the start of a technological leap that would reshape how news and entertainment come to life on Greek screens. A new 360° LED Wall serves as the technological centerpiece, with Barco Encore3 managing all pixels with flawless precision.

Where vision meets transformation
As one of Greece’s most influential broadcasters, SKAI has long championed innovation. Their previous setup, built around Barco rear-projection cubes and Encore Gen 1 processing installed in 2007, had served impressively for almost 20 years without interruption — giving SKAI the confidence to take the next step with Barco’s newest generation of image processing technology.
Tight spaces, big ambitions
Space constraints were the project’s biggest technical hurdle. Telmaco engineered a complete rethink of the studio layout, opting for front service LED walls that could be mounted close to structural surfaces and free up valuable production floor area.
Encore3 making it all work
To manage the entire LED canvas — including XR backgrounds and live sources — Telmaco deployed the Barco Encore3 presentation switcher. An EC-30 control unit provided operators with intuitive hands-on control through the familiar Barco Event Master workflow.
The transformation reinforced SKAI’s leadership in the Greek media landscape. With a fully modernized 360° LED environment, the broadcaster now benefits from higher visual quality, greater storytelling flexibility, and a production workflow designed for continuous evolution.
