Last summer Gerriets provided eight Tube systems for a show in Las Vegas. The systems wind and unwind at a speed of 2 m /sec (6.5 ft/sec), are DMX compatible and provide state-of-the-art safety features.
For a company event in Baltimore, Maryland, Gerriets provided, in cooperation with All Staging Unlimited, seven large Carbon Fiber Roller screen systems. "We linked all seven of the controllers together via DMX interface and a laptop to allow single button control of all Tubes", explains Mark Gentry from All Staging Unlimited.
In January, Gerriets installed two Tube systems at a popular night club in Cancun, Mexico. The screens are an integral part of the club's new live music show. Two more projects were realized this spring: In Atlanta, Georgia, Gerriets provided a new church centre with a 12 m/40 ft. wide Tube Megascreen system. In Louisville, Kentucky, Gerriets equipped a church with two 16m /52ft. wide Megascreen systems. The screens were part of the stage design for the Southeast Easter Pageant.
All these projects were realized in cooperation between Gerriets GmbH, Germany, and Gerriets International, New Jersey.
