MiStrip sets a new standard for LED display technology in a wide variety of applications. From large free-form video displays to architectural visual design. MiStrip is also ideal for integration into stage sets, exhibition booths and interior as well as exterior architectural usage. IP65 protection rating and a wide temperature range enable outdoor usage in all weather conditions, say Barco, while the built-in mounting track and smart cabling solutions make installation of even very large systems fast and easy.
For the Bon Jovi tour, MiStrip is being used to create an enormous 42m-wide three-dimensional scenic stage backdrop, designed by Artfag. In total, there is a staggering 384sq.m of LED made up of over 1,490 MiStrips which, if laid end to end, would cover a distance of more than 2.2km.
The first sale of MiStrip goes to Barco's rental partner, XL Video, who is supplying video equipment for the tour and are responsible for bringing the amazing backdrop to life. John Wiseman, president of XL Video's American Touring Division, comments: "When we received the renderings for the Bon Jovi's Mesh City, we knew the solution would involve Innovative Designs. I had heard that Innovative Designs and Barco were looking to develop a new high brightness LED Strip. We just knew that this would be the perfect combination of a spectacular and reliable video source we needed on short notice to deliver for our clients Artfag LLC. As expected the results speak for themselves, and once again XL Video has happy designers, artists, management and production managers."
Stephan Paridaen, president of Barco's Media and Entertainment division, stated: "The MiStrip is symbolic of Barco's ability to see a need and meet and exceed that with innovative technological advancement." He continued: "It has been a pleasure to work on this latest extension of our creative light solutions and we are especially excited to see it in action on tour with Bon Jovi."
