The ILite LED tiles were all provided by AVP and deployed in a complex configuration for the event. AVP worked closely with the Asia Television design team and production crews to configure the visual display stage backdrop in a relatively short period of time. What's more, as is standard with all Barco rental partners, along with the visual solutions, AVP also provided professional technical support 24/7 throughout the event. The team effort paid off, as the show was a resounding success. Miss Xu Ying, from the Chinese mainland, won the crown as Miss Asia 2009.
The black Barco ILite 6BK LED tile backdrop was used in 22 x 12 tile (53sq.m) format, utilising 264 Barco true black ILite 6BK tiles and consisting of two moveable parts.
The ILite 6 BK is a 6mm, black LED display based on Barco's established ILite technology. It offers a slim, sleek design that allows for the creation of displays in nearly any shape and size. To realise multiple image affects throughout the evening, image processing was driven by Barco's Encore System video processor and controller.
"It is an honour for us at AVP to have served Asia TV for so many years," says Elton Wong, director of AV Promotion Ltd. "And this year, the Miss Asia Pageant 2009 is certainly one of Hong Kong's marquee events. Needless to say, we are happy to see the beautifully vibrant stage backdrop, not only for its visual effect, but how it helps frame the beautiful contestant in an exciting way."
