S+H Video Floor for Hungarian TV show

Devon, UK, based S+H Technical Support supplied its LED Video Floor product to the first Hungarian edition of popular television games show, “The Cube”. Recorded at the Stern Film Studio on Pomaz, close to Budapest, Hungarian producers Show & Game Production Ltd. followed the style directions and replicated the rules established by the original UK series producers, Objective Television, who licenced this version, broadcast on leading commercial channel, TV2.

Hungarian Production Manager Krisztina Bene explained that they were recommended to S+H as the interactive floor supplier by Objective Television, from which they also rented key elements of the set. Presented (in the UK) by Phillip Schofield, “Cube” contestants can win up to £ 250,000 cash by completing straightforward tasks - like balancing, catching, throwing, estimating, reacting, memorising, etc. - within a 4 x 4 metre Perspex cube which becomes challenging with the addition of disorientating visual and sonic effects.

The video floor has an integral role in the show’s overall concept, and in the Hungarian edition, it was installed and used exactly as described in the production rule book. S+H’s Mark Mason was on site in Pomaz to ensure the set-up, testing and installation went smoothly and efficiently. Terry Murtha from S+H was also involved in the process. In Hungary, the floor of “The Cube” was comprised from 36 panels of Video Floor making a 3.6 metre square surface area.
