Barco ImagePRO II Dual

ExCeL London – Move It 2017 Dance Exhibition

15/03/2017 by petermccrea

Move It 2017 LED Screen Banner

Production AV were back out once again this time to ExCeL London providing the LED screen for London Studio Centre’s exhibition stand at the Move It 2017 Dance Show. Contact us soon so your stand can be taken to the next level at Move It 2018! With over 24,000 dancers attending the three day event, Production AV were excited to be providing the video solution for one of the biggest dance studios in the country. The aim of Move It is to celebrate all forms of dance and performing arts and with several performance stages, workshops, stalls and dance programmes our onsite LED technician Sam McCrea certainly had plenty to do!

High Resolution 3.9mm Exhibition LED Screen Solution

LSC Move It 2017 LED Screen 1

Using our high resolution digiLED Indoor 3.9mm LED Panels, we provided a 5.5m x 3m LED Screen that was built on our LED ground support system mounted on a Litedeck stage. As well as providing the screen, playback and lighting solutions were also catered for. The kit was loaded in the day before the event and the screen went up quickly – under 4 hours from loading in to completion. A pair of Nova MCTRL660 Processors were used to manage the data being fed to the screen with one acting as a fail safe hot back up to the main processor with a redundant cable route. Scaling for the screen was handled through the Barco ImagePRO II Dual which had no trouble showing LSC’s promotional videos and other media content that was being cued and ran through our Apple Macbook Pro and PlaybackPro software. Four Source 4 Junior Profiles were positioned above the screen on a discreet truss structure and provided a fixed lighting state so members of the dance community had a space in the exhibition to learn what London Studio Centre was all about.

LSC Move It 2017 LED Screen 2

The event was a massive success, with LSC able to use the LED screen to reveal all the amazing talented they have curated in their studio in the most eye catching way possible. We’d like to thank London Studio Centre for choosing us to provide the video and lighting solution for your exhibition and we hope to back working with you for Move It 2018 to show another great year of dance and performing arts.

Hello #moveit17 #day2. Come along and see our dance film on stand 155 and have a chat with our lovely LSC ambassadors! #LSCarmy #ambassadors #movie #cinema #danceonfilm #LSCclasses #dance #training #performance #specialist #ballet #jazz #hiphop #contemporary #commercial #musictheatre #theatre #moveit17 #LSConthemove

SSE Wembley Arena – Seasick Steve Concert

14/12/2016 by petermccrea

Seasick Steve Wembley Arena LED Screen Solution

Production AV were delighted to continue working with Crosstown on behalf of Seasick Steve to provide a full video solution for his biggest ever headline show at the SSE Arena, Wembley. Having previously been the video supplier for Steve in his UK 2015 tour, we were looking forward to being back for his ‘10 Years Out Of The Dog House’ party that was promising great crowd atmosphere and funky guitar work!

6mm LED Screen Concert Video Solution

Seasick Steve 6mm LED Screen Solution - Wembley Arena

Using our stock of Desay 6.25mm Indoor/Outdoor LED Panels, we built a 9.6m x 5.3m LED screen that was flown at the rear of the stage. As we were providing the full video solution, two Sony HXC-100 HD Camera Channels and a Sony PMW-EX3 HD Video Camera were positioned around the venue with the aim of taking the production quality to a new height with multiple live feeds running to screen. Control was set up in front of house and the live feed management was run using our Panasonic AV-HS400 Vision Mixer Portable Production Unit (PPU). Two Nova MCTRL660 Processors were used to manage the screen with one being set up to act as a redundant backup to the main processor. Scaling for the screen was handled by a Barco ImagePRO II Dual – industry standard due to it’s great processing.

The concert went exceptionally well, with the screen performing perfectly throughout the evening and our skilled camera operators not missing a moment of the exciting evening. Seasick Steve had an amazing performance, bringing people up on stage to sing with him made it a real party atmosphere and he managed to turn the arena into the most intimate venue. He also didn’t let his eccentric reputation lessen as he turned up to the venue driving a tractor! Production AV filmed Steve’s arrival at the iconic venue for playback on the LED screen, as well as introductions for the support acts.

It has once again been a real pleasure working with Steve and his team and we’d like to take a moment just to thank them for selecting us to provide the video solution for this performance. We hope that we’ll be back in Spring for his next one!

Campbell Park – Outdoor LED Cinema Screen

MK Campbell Park Outdoor Cinema 6mm LED Screen

Production AV were appreciative to selected as provider of the outdoor cinema LED screen video solution for SFL at Campbell Park in Milton Keynes. With the weekend forecast promising sunshine, our onsite technicians Sam McCrea and Olie Goulding were looking forward to providing the weekend entertainment to the people of Milton Keynes at this free event funded by the local council.

6mm Outdoor Cinema LED Screen Solution

Campbell Park - Outdoor Cinema 6mm LED Screen

Arriving on site early Saturday morning, the team set about building the ground supported 3.6m x 8m LED screen using our stock of Desay 6.25mm Indoor/Outdoor LED Panels at the front of stage. Control was set up behind screen and included two Nova MCTRL660 Processors that were used to manage the screen with one being set up to act as a backup to the main processor. Alongside the processors was a Barco ImagePRO II Dual which was used to feed content to the screen. The screen was securely positioned with stage weights acting as a ballast but as an act of precaution, we set up an anemometer that was used to monitor wind speeds.

Film-lovers were be able to see firm family favourites on the wide screen such as Despicable Me, Inside Out and Guardians of the Galaxy. People were able to meet friends, pack a picnic, popcorn, seats, blanket or rug and get an afternoon, evening or weekend’s entertainment for free. It was a very rewarding event to be apart of and we would like to thank SFL for selecting us as screen provider and hope to be back for the next outdoor cinema screen solution!

Bristol Harbourside – Grillstock 2016

11/08/2016 by petermccrea

Production AV were delighted to be selected to provide the LED screen for the main stage at Grillstock 2016 by Utopium.  It is safe to say we were very much looking forward to this event with the promise of sunshine, good music and a variety of delicious meats to consume! Being hosted at the Bristol Harbourside meant that it was a only a quick drive down and we were happy to be involved in a such a local but fun event.

Grillstock Festival 6mm LED Screen Solution

Grillstock 6mm LED Screen

Loading in the day before the event began, using our Desay 6.25mm LED Panels we built a 6.4m x 3.4m screen at the back of the main stage. The screen was flown on a motorised truss system and was rigged quickly which allowed other preparations for the stage go unhindered. Set up on stage right were two Nova MCTRL660 Processors that were used to manage the screen with one being set up to act as a backup to the main processor. Alongside the Novastars was an ImagePRO II Dual which was used to feed content to the screen. Running a 100M fibre cable from the ImagePRO to control meant that Olie Goulding our onsite technician could position himself at front of house. This was important as he also was operating the Green Hippo Grasshopper Media Server which meant he could add layers and effects over the top of the content being fed to screen which allowed him to quickly match the screen content to the style of lighting the LD had decided on.

Grillstock 6mm LED Screen Flown

More than 14,000 people attended the BBQ-themed festival, with highlights including The Fratellis, The Stranglers, Cuban Brothers and a King of the Grill barbeque showdown. When the final band artist had performed, Production AV were there and ready to take down the screen with the same swiftness they had put it up. Using the onsite telehandler, we were able to fork down boxes of LED modules directly from front of stage onto the floor and load the truck from there. Having video kit off stage meant that a lot of space was freed up and Utopium were able to bring their lighting truss down and work with ease on pulling their kit out too.

A massive thank you to Utopium for selecting us as screen supplier for this event. It is always a pleasure working in your company. We hope to be back next year for more BBQ goodness!

Scarva – Sham Fight 2016

05/08/2016 by petermccrea

Production AV were once again back in Northern Ireland working for BNL to provide an LED screen solution for the 2016 Scarva Sham Fight. Over 100,000 braved the rain to watch the annual re-enactment of the Battle of the Boyne. It was a really honour to be apart of something that holds so much cultural importance to so many people.

6mm Outdoor Reenactment LED Screens

Back out were our Desay 6.25mm LED Panels ready to test their waterproof design against whatever the weather could throw at it. Two 4.8m x 2.7m screens were built at separate locations on site using Mobil Tech AlpTek 6.5m stands and truss to fly them off the ground. There were a pair of Nova MCTRL660 Processors for each screen with the latter acting as a backup for the main processor. Each screen also had an ImagePRO II Dual which was used to feed content.

On site for the length of the march was one of our LED Technicians who made sure the show ran smoothly from our end.  Endless streams of colorful, eye catching marchers lined the streets of Scarva playing a variety of instruments and in the end it was John Adair, who played King Billy, was victorious – again – on his 25th anniversary of acting the part.

It was a real pleasure to work again with BNL and we look forward to continuing to grow this working relationship with them. Thank you as well to Tourism Northern Ireland and the Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Council for giving support to the big day.

Lurgan Park Festival – Queen’s 90th Birthday Party

21/07/2016 by petermccrea

Production AV were pleased to be selected by BNL to provide a LED screen solution for the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations hosted in Lurgan Park. Having done so little work in Northern Ireland in the past, Production AV were excited to work with BNL and provide a top quality service for the people of Lurgan to enjoy.

6mm Outdoor Flown Festival LED Screens

Travelling over the day before, we were on site early and were able to build the screens quickly using our Desay 6.25mm LED Panels, creating two 4.8m x 2.7m 6mm pitch LED Screens using Mobil Tech AlpTek 6.5m stands and truss to fly them off the ground.Two Nova MCTRL660 Processors were used to manage the screen with one being set up to act as a backup to the main processor. Control was set up below the stage where an ImagePRO II Dual was used to feed content to the screen.

An impressive line up for the evening concert included Rod Patterson Session Orchestra, featuring Siobhan Pettit and Aine Whelan with special guest George Jones performing ’90 Years of Music’ as well as award winning Lee Matthews, who recently won best songwriter at the Irish Country Music Awards. The night was ended with a fantastic firework display to end a special night for the Queen and country.

Our thanks to Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council for hosting the event and a big thank you to BNL for choosing us as the screen supplier. We hope this is a beginning of a fruitful partnership.

The PDS901 3G offers 9 inputs:

Outputs are on both Analog and DVI signal paths simultaneously, as well as offering a 3G/HD/SD SDI output that supports Barco Link technology, ideal for use with the Barco HDX-W20 Flex projectors.

The PDS is easy to set up, with test patterns for the optimisation of the display device, Logo stores for often used holding slides, and a built in webserver that enables remote control of the unit, including switching. The PDS series can also integrate into ScreenPRO II controlled systems acting as an auxiliary switcher for destinations such as stage relay monitors.

We have the PDS 901 3G available to hire now, alongside the Barco HDX Series projectors, ScreenPRO II and ImagePRO II Dual hardware as well as supporting hardware such as HD-SDI BNC cabling, TFT monitors and input sources.
