USA - In addition to working on Tom Petty & The Heartbreaker's Super Bowl appearance, XL Touring Video is also the video contractor on the Tom Petty & The Heartbreaker's 2008 North American Summer Tour, which kicked off the end of May in MI, and wraps up 29 August in Woodlands, TX.

Tom Petty's production/lighting designer, Jim Lenehan has created a design that incorporates threedifferent resolutions of LED along with projection. To achieve the design, XLTV supplied 2200 XL LED Spheres and five Mitirx cubes with 72 Mitrix LED panels in a each cube. The cubes are 4ft in diameter and hung above the stage at different levels and move throughout the show. In addition to XLTV, CW Productions and Ed & Ted are also supplying tour support.

XLTV's project manager, Dave Hyslop says: "The result of Lenehan's vision was a three dimensional wild ride of a visual display. It was gratifying to be a part of this project and all involved."
