Hong Kong - Denmark-based Dansk Data Displays (DDD) has found an increasing demand in the Danish installation and rental markets for Lighthouse LED video screens in recent months, in particular the R10 and P10i/o 10mm pixel pitch screens, for both indoor and outdoor use.
In Odense, one of Denmark's largest newspapers, Fyens Stiftstidende, has recently moved its head office to the centre of the main city, situated opposite Hans Christian Anderson Square, in a new building, of which the façade is made almost entirely from glass.
Fyens wants to let its customers know what the company does, as it not only produces a newspaper, but is also a radio station and advertising bureau. For this the company turned to DDD who worked in conjunction with the architects to install a Lighthouse LED video screen on the side of the building. This displays news to the city as it's produced by the journalists inside the building.
"We looked at various solutions including plasma screens and rear projection," explains DDD's Kristian Glahn. "But it became apparent that LED was the obvious solution." As the screen was going to be viewed outside, the brightness levels needed to be adequate to cope with direct sunlight, as well as a fine enough resolution to allow close viewing distances. "Fyens compared various products, including a Barco screen with a lower resolution," continues Glahn, "but Lighthouse's P10i/o LED screen was the best. This is due to the SMD design of the panels, which gives a fine resolution, and the superior viewing angles."
Belgium - ISE (Integrated Systems Europe) 2006 has nearly doubled in size from the previous show with still over four months to go until the event itself in February 2006. At the Brussels Expo, more than 2000 sqm of extra space has been allocated to meet the increasing demand from new and existing companies. Key exhibitors who signed up over the summer were Eiki and Dataton.
These were astonishing figures for Mike Blackman, ISE 2006 managing director, he says: "We are delighted to see that the level of new business continues to grow each month. Even over the traditionally quiet summer months, we managed to sell over 200sqm of exhibition space. The interest levels and awareness of ISE 2006 is increasing all the time and, now that the website has gone live, we will be channelling our energies towards the visitor and press with a series of exciting roadshows, editorial and advertising campaigns."
Integrated Systems Europe offers opportunities for European companies to create new business and rewarding partnerships. In the UK, financial support is available to eligible companies through the Tradefair group, which facilitates negotiations on behalf of prospective exhibitors and UK Trade and Investment body.
To also demonstrate it's commitment for US companies, the organizer announced that the show has been granted Trade Fair Certification from the U.S. Department of Commerce (UDC). Certification means that ISE can now offer a level of assurance to its US exhibitors for full endorsement of their products and solutions at the show which will help facilitate

Hong Kong - Lighthouse Technologies has received a Highly Commended Award for Exhibition Stand Design at IBC 2005, held in Amsterdam's Rai Centre at the beginning of September.
The award was given for a successful combination of powerful visual impact, combined with a user-friendly yet creative configuration that allowed visitors free access around the stand. The design featured Lighthouse's flagship ultra high resolution R6 6mm pixel pitch screen in a 2.88 x 5.12m format, the super quiet R10 10mm pixel pitch screen hung in three vertical strips and the new portable, self-contained PopVision based on the 6mm pixel pitch screen, as well as sister company OptiLED's Linear Optical Array flow above the R10 screens.
"The highly creative nature of our product really lends itself to a visually impactful stand," comments Lighthouse managing director Mark Chan, "and being modular, it is possible to configure our screens in a variety of ways. We wanted our stand design to reflect this and demonstrate the true versatility of LED to our existing and potential customers alike.
"From the feedback of both the broadcast professionals and media solutions consultants attending the show, who all commented on the R6's fine resolution and excellent reproduction of images, we have achieved our aim. We are very proud to have the efforts of those who came up with the concept, and the technical staff who realized it, recognized in this way."
Lighthouse products continued to create a buzz on the trade show circuit with PopVision in particular garnering a great

UK - Gatecrasher's long-awaited second club is set to open in Leeds this month following a £3 million fit-out. Named 'Discothéque', the 1400-capacity venue is the cornerstone of Gatecrasher's plans to increase turnover to £11.2 million by 2007 with the launch of its new 'Boutique Blueprint' clubbing concept. Featuring an expansive and flamboyant interior design scheme from Matt Rawlinson Design, Discothéque is also pioneering a groundbreaking new video dancefloor technology with the first installation of the new Ayrton DreamPanel - one of the product launch highlights of the PLASA Show this week.
Distributed in the UK by Ian Kirby's Lighting Effects Distribution, who are providing design support, the system has been installed as part of an automated lighting package by Hugh Frazer-Mann's HFM Lighting & Sound Ltd.
The DreamPanel floor will be controlled from the Catalyst Pro v3.3 Media Server, supplied by David March's Projected Media and programmed by Dan Turner of Video Perspective. Frazer-Mann explained: "Gatecrasher were looking at different heavily-pixellated LED wall and floor effects, including an interactive video floor. But they wanted to go further, and when Gatecrasher's Gary Howard told me about DreamPanel, which offers very good, high-resolution quality I went to Ayrton's showrooms in Paris and became very excited."
DreamPanel is a 50cm x 50cm modular video tile designed for screen floor application, with an internal structure designed to withstand heavy loads and shocks received directly from the tile. The 170°
UK - UK based performance video specialists Picture Works used PLASA to show off its latest LED screen, video projector, camera and production technologies. Founder and MD Robbie Wealleans said the show had been "very successful" for the company, adding "It has been an amazing year for us so far".
On show was the brightest video projector on the market, the 25,000 ANSI lumen Christie Roadie, currently on tour in the USA with Coldplay. It featured during the band's headline slot at Glastonbury where, the following day and on the second stage, Picture Works deployed what Wealleans describes as the "largest LED screen ever seen in the UK" for DJ Fatboy Slim's set. The production included a 3D effect achieved by issuing the audience with 3D glasses. Part of the screen also featured on the company's PLASA stand, demonstrating Picture Works' purchase of 100 panels - almost 80 square metres - of Lighthouse 16mm LED product.
New, too, are 10 complete (camera-to-controller) channels of wide screen, digital SDI video cameras, featuring Sony D50 models, configured specifically for live performance use. The system includes five fully automated, remote control camera heads linked to a Panasonic controller and a pair of miniature cameras.
The company's highlight of the year, though, said Wealleans, was providing the video playback for Pink Floyd's now-legendary reunion appearance at Live8: "It was the best moment of our lives," he says, adding: "We've been going for nine years, we're still independent, and we still don't bullshit

USA - A solo tour by Tori Amos is not what immediately comes to mind when thinking about a high technology production, but then again, Tori is anything but predictable. On this month-long tour of US theatres in support of her latest album, The Beekeeper, she performed over 90 different songs - a challenge for all concerned.
"I program, on average, three new songs every afternoon," sighs Dan Boland, Tori's long-time lighting director and, for the last few years, lighting designer. "It keeps the afternoons very interesting." Each night, Boland receives the ever changing set list minutes before Tori takes to the stage. Even then, the set can change midway through a show. Boland, however, incorporates this unpredictability into his design, and this was a key factor is his decision to use video.
"Every time that it's just Tori and a piano on stage, she can play anything at any time," notes Boland. "With one projector, I can paint a lot more pictures than I can with 21 lights." Boland opted to use the M-Box system from PRG, who also supply the lighting for the tour. The merger of PRG and VLPS last year has provided Boland with a vast array of standard content from both the M-Box and Virtuoso EX-1 media servers. Using the combined content resources of both, Boland creates abstract and subtle imagery as a video motif for each song. "One of the things that Tori insisted on when we started discussing video was no literal imagery," says Boland. "If the song was about winter, she did not want to see snow flakes." Im

USA - The government of San Luis Obispo County, California recently moved into its new administration building. The move was the culmination of more than five years of designing and building a facility tailored to its specific and varying needs.
The slow pace of design and construction was a reflection of the desire to get everything correct. This was particularly evident in the increasingly vital area of audio/visual and information technology, according to Joey D'Angelo, principal consultant with Charles M. Salter Associates, Inc., the San Francisco-based consulting firm who designed the facility's A/V system.
The design specification went through several incarnations, but one element recommended by D'Angelo at the outset remained on the list: SymNet Audio Matrix from Symetrix. "Much of the project's architecture and A/V system design changed over the years, but the recognition of the need for the system to work as hands-off as possible stayed steady," he says.
That goal was reached by pairing a Crestron 2 control system with SymNet's modular audio processing hardware. This allowed D'Angelo the freedom to design a comprehensive audio routing and processing system that could easily be changed via touch screens to suit the nature of the various proceedings in the Board of Supervisors Chambers.
Five SymNet 8x8 DSP units form the backbone of the audio system. They are responsible for massaging and directing audio traffic in a network that incorporates 36 inputs and 28 outputs, still shy of the 40x40 that the five-box configuration allows.

France - While Lance Armstrong was making history on the world's stage for his seventh Tour de France win, another stage was being set up for his victory and retirement party. High End Systems digital lighting products and a Wholehog 3 console helped set the celebratory scene for the cyclist and the Discovery Channel cycling team at The Ritz Paris.
Capital Sports & Entertainment (CSE) hosted the post-awards party. The main party room in the hotel's indoor swimming area accommodated 700-plus guests by adding a custom dance floor over the pool. Four ballrooms upstairs were also used.
Rudiger Haeming of Arcus supplied technical support and 4 High End Systems DL1s, 4 Catalyst Pro media servers and a Wholehog 3 console. French event producers Adelie Evenements and STe Displays provided additional lighting, audio and video equipment plus local crew.
The party's visual elements centered on multimedia presentations to run continuously in all the rooms, highlighting Armstrong's career from cancer to champion. Content creator was Kyle Ellison of Austin, who created ten videos and loops - plus his own original soundtracks -- for the six-hour party.
Says production liaison Mark Proct, "Logistically it was a challenge. We built the event in the High End showroom in Austin, got the gear from Germany, and brought it all together in Paris and everything synced up perfectly. We didn't have weeks of rehearsals; because there was another event in the hotel on Saturday, we got in Saturday night before the Sunday event. When many people would have demanded lots of rehearsal

UK - Following the success of Pro Display's LCD Projection Glass Technology, the company has developed a new LCD projection film which can be applied to any existing glass or Plexiglas.
"A revolutionary new product which will transform the world of visual display and advertising", according to the company, this film consists of a liquid crystal polymer which can change its visual appearance when an electrical current is activated. The edge of the film has an electrical contact strip which transforms the film from clear (transparent) to frosted (translucent) using a simple On/Off switch.
When the film is in its translucent or frosted state, images can be projected onto the glass creating a high definition digital display screen (up to UXGA resolution). Other applications for the LCD Film include privacy and security.

UK - Scenechange and Green Hippo have merged to form Green Hippo Ltd. Until recently digital media specialists Scenechange had been working as the exclusive worldwide distributors of the Hippotizer media server.
James Heron, director of Green Hippo comments, "It became more and more apparent over the last year or so that the combination of Green Hippo and Scene Change as a force for furthering the Hippotizer has really been a meeting of like minded enthusiasts. For Hippotizer to continue going from strength to strength, the merging of the two companies was the only sensible option."
He continues: "We now have the team we always wanted under one roof and this puts us in a strong position to develop, evolve and support our media server range."
As part of the merger, the two companies have completed a move into larger premises. Nigel Sadler, formerly technical director of Scenechange joins the Green Hippo team in the role of sales director and says, "The merger of the two companies will strengthen our ability to serve the most important members of the team - the customers."

UK -Large format projection specialist E//T//C UK is supplying spectacular projections for the 2005 Edinburgh Military Tattoo. It's the first time this visual medium has successfully been incorporated into this world famous event. E//T//C UK's Ross Ashton states, "It was an honour to be asked to design for the Edinburgh tattoo. It's a world class event with a global reputation, and I hope that I have added a new element to the already existing excellent mix."
This year, the special theme of the Tattoo is the bicentennial commemoration of the Battle of Trafalgar, and Jameson thought all the elements were in place to integrate projection into his show.
Ashton was asked to storyboard a 10 minute projection show narrative and design artwork to be beamed onto the Castle battlements and Gatehouse for the Battle of Trafalgar sequence. The 60 metre wide by 30 metre tall pictures told the dramatic story of the battle as it unfolded.
The biggest technical challenge, explains Ashton, was that they had to cover two surfaces - the curved castle wall/battlements and the Castle Gatehouse - to fill the end-of-arena space evenly. The battlements were about 30 metres behind the gatehouse. Added to which all of it was all a dark brown uneven surface - not ideal for projection! "It's probably the most three dimensional surface I have ever worked with" says Ashton.
They are using four PIGI 6Kw projectors all with double rotating scrollers and 85 cm lenses. These are rigged on top of the control platform and seating area at the opposite end of the arena. They a
