UK - Live event lighting company, Essential Lighting Group, has made a significant investment to become the world's first lighting rental company stocking Barco MiTRIX and MiSTRIP Scenic LED fixtures.

MiTRIX is a lightweight, bright and highly transparent LED module with 16 by 8 pixels and a pixel pitch of 24mm. MiSTRIP, a linear pixel strip with 13.25mm inline pixel pitch, can be freely spaced to suit the resolution required, offering immense flexibility in a wide variety of applications, says the company.

Essentialís technical director Martin Lubach says, "The creative LED range uses video images which are accurately mapped to the chosen LED configuration using the powerful Director Toolkit software. There's no need for video clips to be pixel mapped into DMX512 signals with the resulting loss of image quality and low refresh rate. The system is easy to configure and control without the dedicated video crew usually associated with these kinds of products."

Essential's managing director Martin Locket adds, "We have always been focused on providing our clients with the equipment and services they need to make their event as visually stunning as possible. This new equipment takes this to the next level by blurring both the technical and affordability issues that surround video, placing these new capabilities firmly in the control of the lighting designer."
