BAMMA on Bravo TV
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.

Greenbelt Festival 2010
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.

MicroTiles for Production AV
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.
