B-Tech AV Mounts supplied a bespoke rear-service dvLED mounting solution for two large LED feature walls at the BBC Cardiff Broadcast Centre, home to BBC television, radio and online news operations in Wales.
Working alongside system integrator Smart AV UK Ltd and media specialists Videlio Media, B-Tech developed a customised BT9340 mounting system to support 174 Unilumin Uslim P2.6 LED cabinets across two complex stepped video wall arrays.

PROJECT DETAILS
Location: BBC Cardiff Broadcast Centre
Integrator: Smart AV UK Ltd
Media Partner: Videlio Media
Mounting System: B-Tech BT9340 Rear-Service LED Video Wall System
LED Cabinets: Unilumin Uslim P2.6
Total Cabinets: 174
Wall Design: Two bespoke stepped multi-tier LED wall arrays
The Challenge
As part of an upgrade to its studio and production environment, the BBC required two large, custom-shaped LED video walls combining precise cabinet alignment, long-term structural stability and full rear-service access.
The stepped, multi-tier wall designs presented a particularly demanding mounting challenge. Working with Smart AV UK Ltd and Videlio Media, B-Tech was tasked with developing a solution capable of supporting 174 Unilumin Uslim P2.6 LED cabinets while maintaining the accuracy required for a seamless direct-view LED surface.
The Solution
B-Tech specified and supplied a customised configuration of its BT9340 Universal Direct View LED Video Wall Mounting System (Rear-Service).
The system was engineered specifically to support the Unilumin Uslim P2.6 cabinets and accommodate the bespoke stepped geometry of the two LED walls.
The solution incorporated:
- Five full-width horizontal mounting rails (9m each) per wall
- Precision vertical alignment rails fixed to the steel post framework
- Black anodised aluminium mounting rails (BT8390-300/B) to complement the installation aesthetics
- Rear-mount hook-on cabinet brackets with fine adjustment for precise planar alignment
The modular rail-based design allowed each section of the complex video walls to be installed and precisely aligned while maintaining a consistently flat viewing surface across the complete LED display.
The Result
The completed installation delivers two high-resolution LED feature walls that form an integral part of the BBC Cardiff broadcast and production environment.
The BT9340 system provides:
- Exceptional rigidity across long horizontal spans
- Accurate cabinet alignment across complex stepped geometries
- A clean and seamless front-of-screen appearance
- Safe and efficient rear-service access for ongoing maintenance
By combining a modular mounting platform with a customised configuration for the project, B-Tech delivered the precision and flexibility required to realise the BBC’s complex LED wall designs.
The project demonstrates B-Tech’s ability to engineer bespoke dvLED mounting solutions for demanding broadcast environments, supporting large-scale and non-standard video wall installations without compromising alignment, accessibility or finish.
