AC-ET helps VE-M upgrade production technologies
- Details
VE-M's complete event services cover all creative and technical aspects of client projects - including event planning & solutions; creative graphics & video production; and technology equipment hire.
VE-M were keen to invest in high quality new video, sound and lighting technologies for their AV department, so approached AC-ET, knowing that the company would be able to meet all their needs.
Mike Docksey in AC-ET's external sales team oversaw the sale. Working with product specialists in the company's dedicated video, lighting, audio and rigging divisions, he selected from over 200 industry brands - including some available exclusively in the UK from the company.
AC-ET supplied a large 30sq.m indoor video wall system featuring 120 separate 50sq.cm ProLights AlphaPIX2 LED panels, plus related system equipment and flightcases.
In addition, AC-ET's in-house Tourflex Cabling custom cable assembly service supplied 120 1.1m lengths of both Tourflex Datasafe Ultra Cat 5e cable and PowerCON extension cable, for networking together and powering all panels in the ProLights AlphaPIX2 video wall.
For events where the budget, time or space do not permit using a video wall, VE-M purchased six Panasonic high brightness DLP projectors - including the powerful, rental-friendly PT-RZ770 laser projector delivering maintenance-free operation for up to 20,000 hours.
To deliver VE-M's creative graphics & video content to devices, AC-ET supplied a Green Hippo Hippotizer V4 Karst + media server.
VE-M also purchased ProLights Eclipse 'Tungsten white effect' LED Fresnel and LED ellipsoidal solutions.
On the audio side, VE-M invested in Sennheiser professional handheld, lapel radio, and omni-directional clip-on microphones.
Rigging infrastructure equipment supplied included Manfrotto wind-up support stands, plus Doughty Zenith truss lifts and solid truss adaptors.
Once delivered, AC-ET also assisted with product training on the new systems at their Northern sales office in Leeds.
VE-M recently used their ProLights AlphaPIX2 video system for the first time on a high-profile industry awards event in Manchester.
VE-M director, Darren Howard commented: "VE-M are absolutely thrilled to receive the delivery of nearly 600 separate items from A.C. Entertainment Technologies. Working with them has been fantastic. Mike and their product specialists made the process of sourcing some of the very best technologies the industry has to offer, very easy. Dealing with just one company for everything we needed, backed by extremely professional service and after-sales support, really added value to the whole experience. We would highly recommend them and definitely use them again."
AC-ET's Mike Docksey commented: "It was an absolute pleasure to work with VE-M. I'm sure their clients will be very pleased by VEM's major investment in these leading technologies, to ensure they continue to offer the highest production values for events."
