The UK and Europe's largest touring video rental company, XL Video works across all sectors of the business, leisure and entertainment industry and has bases in England, Belgium, Germany and America.
XL PLASA the company is showcasing a selection of key products - including the latest exotic LED screen technology from Barco and Lighthouse Technologies, and Soft-LED drapery from Mainlight Industries.
XL will illustrate how video equipment and techniques from the world of rock 'n' roll and concert touring are crossing over into theatre, conferences and other live events.
New products include the Lighthouse R16i/o indoor/outdoor 16mm pixel pitch LED screen. XL says that, besides the usual attributes expected from a modular LED screen - good resolution, excellent colour uniformity, reproduction and contrast, and easy rigging - the R16i/o weight less than any comparable LED at less than 65kg per sq metre.
Also on show is the Barco MiPIX modular intelligent 4-LED pixel block; MiPix are plugged into a bespoke frame at your chosen resolution or pattern while its small size and shape allow it to be moulded into just about any shape, making it ideal as a building block to create intelligent lighting effects on large-scale backdrops and stage sets of any shape, or size.
