Production AV were at the National Indoor Arena providing video projection systems for BAMMA 4 – a mixed martial arts event gaining increasing popularity in the UK. Screening live on Bravo TV during the evening, the on-site team installed a 3 screen system using Barco HD projectors and screens up to 24′ in width giving the full-capacity audience stunning camera imagery of all the action and film clips of the fighters before they entered the arena. All equipment was flown from production rigging and utilised our fibre optic cabling systems and Barco ScreenPro control to ensure a reliable and high quality show.
We are were pleased to be involved in this arena event, working as part of a wider production team to deliver a fist class production and we look forward to the next event later this year.

The second August bank holiday weekend saw Greenbelt Festival 2010 staged at Cheltenham Racecourse once again. Working as the appointed video contractor, Production AV supplied a range of venues from simple desktop projectors, through to a full HD projection for a pre-release screening of Africa United by Pathe Fims. We also provided the Main Stage LED Screen solution for over 10,000 people to view all the action. Production AV took care of it with our usual professional approach, attention to detail and meticulous planning, all combined with well prepared equipment ensuring that the delivery on-site was on schedule and met the client’s requirements.
We utilised our experience in fibre optic and copper DVI transmission, as well as minimum latency processing to provide solutions that got the best from all the content, and where appropriate made the systems easy to use and manage. Production AV supplied 19 venues throughout the weekend, with technical cover to ensure the smooth running of the programme where necessary, as well as an on-call support service to the un-crewed venues where technical support wasn’t required on a full time basis.
It was a pleasure to work with the festival management team and we hope to be working together again next year.

Production AV is proud to be the first UK rental house to take the new high resolution, modular, LED driven digital canvas from Christie Digital into it’s hire stock.
The MicroTiles offer a unique product for exhibition designers and live event producers, enabling you to create bespoke displays in new shapes that give stunning resolution and close up detail with a very wide colour gamut that can give the precise colour that is required by the client’s brand guidelines. It’s ability to be built into stripes or blocks enables digital signage to go beyond the traditional flat screen display helping to engage with increasingly saturated viewers.
Each 16″ wide by 12″ high module is only 10″ deep, and requires 2″ of cooling space to the rear. The native display resolution is a 720×540 pixels, so it is possible to create above HD resolution displays of multiple shapes, enabling your client to get face to face with the image and not loose image quality. Production AV have taken a quantity of MicroTiles, ECU’s, rigging hardware and ancillary items into stock, along with Onelan NTB5505 Digital Signage player for demo and rental use as well as Apple Mac Mini computers for playing back content on discrete MicroTiles Displays.
For more information on the MicroTiles please have a look at the MicroTiles website. Production AV is also now a Christie Digital Partner, which enables collaboration with Christie, as well as access to extensive facilities of the EMEA regional HQ in Wokingham.

2009 sees the 400th anniversary of the Baptist Church, having start from a group of people who fled England and settled in Amsterdam. With this in mind the European Baptist Federation held a celebration in Amsterdam to mark the 400th Anniversary.
Held at the Theatre in heart of the Rai Complex on the edge of Amsterdam, Production;av supplied a camera, switching and projection package to the event, working through the production management company Affinity Events.
The solution was based around a 10′x25′ truss framed rear projection screen flown at the rear of the stage, and filed with a pair of full HD Barco CLM HD8 projectors giving a 16,000 lumen image on the screen. The signal was fed to the projectors as a DVI signal over a Fibre Optic system to ensure that the signal being projected suffered no loss on the journey from the control position at FOH to the projection position at the rear of stage.
Switching was undertaken at Full HD level (1920×1080 pixels) by the Barco Screen Pro II switcher and Screen Pro II controller. The SPII was feed by a range of sources such as Laptops for on-site video edits, Powerpoint, and camera images. Cameras provided a full HD image to the Panasonic AV-HS400 vision mixer, enabling full HD work flow through out, from lens to lens with no scaling in between.
The event ran for three days with no hitches, and was a success. The client was very happy with the solution provided commenting that it was the best video system and screen look that they have had to date. This was due to both the high quality of equipment we supplied, and the experienced and competent team operating it. Our thanks also go to Tim Perrett for providing fantastic lighting for the event and Mark Heaps and Ben Warlow from Affinity Events for getting us involved in the job.
