Leading giant video screen manufacturer, Unitek, has added XL Video to its list of event industry customers. The award winning concert video specialists will take delivery of 50sq.m of Unitek MS17 LED video screen in the first week of June. However, XL Video will have little time to admire the latest addition to their hire fleet, as the MS17 system will be in action for the first time less than a week after delivery. The MS17 will be based in the UK and will allow XL Video to further develop their successful UK touring and one-off event business.

With bases in London, Los Angeles and Belgium, XL Video specialise in supplying complete video support services to the concert touring, music and entertainment industries. Despite being one of the most recent entrants, XL’s rise to prominence in the concert touring industry has been nothing short of meteoric and they are now considered by many to be among the top companies in the field. Commenting on their selection of Unitek MS17, Chris Mounsor of XL Video said: "We are very pleased with the MS17: The performance of the Unitek system compares very favourably with similar products from other manufacturers, but it is lighter which is an important consideration when using screens at concerts." Chris continues: "Unitek manufacture in the UK, so the easy access to spares and technical support is also a great advantage."

Graham Nye, technical director of Unitek says: "An incredible amount of research and development has gone into this product since Unitek launched the world’s first modular LED screens over 5 years ago. Unitek’s first hand experience in the screen rental market has set us aside from other manufacturers in giving us the intimate knowledge of how to produce a product that is finely tuned to the needs of the specialist rental operators."
