Emto's Wes Matthews was contacted by the venue's Manager Chris Amos who was searching for a reputable screen provider who could provide a cost-efficient visual solution to go at the back of their DJ booth...and happened upon the Emto website.
They discussed the requirements and then Matthews spec'd the screen. "They wanted a product with great clarity that was robust and hard-wearing," explains Matthews. Following an initial site visit, he recommended the 8mm screen from their hire stock which is waterproof on the LED side, and easy to wipe down in case of any liquid spillages.
This has proved a winner in bar and club environments where the screens are often very close to the audience.
The screen is configured as a 3m wide by 1.5m high strip and fed with a range of ambient content, pre-recorded VTs and graphics stored on an ArKaos Grand VJ media server also supplied by Emto.
Emto was also flexible enough to offer the screen on a one week trial period before Manbar committed to the long term hire / installation.
In this time it had become a massive success, "Having seen it in action I can't think how we could party without it," commented Chris Amos.
Matthews comments, "More and more venues are realizing what can be achieved using properly designed LED installations in their rooms, and Emto's focus is on providing a system that is specially tailored to each environment."
Emto was also recently announced as the UK and Ireland dealer for the Foreground LED products from China.
