UK - Barco received the Manufacturer of the Year Award at the 2005 AV Awards ceremony held in London last week. Barco collected the award for its work, in conjunction with Innovative Design and rental partner XL Video, in designing and creating the MiSphere LED modules for U2's Vertigo tour.

The judges stated that Barco's technological innovation and the way it worked with the U2 tour designers to develop MiSphere was a good example of a manufacturer working with its clients to develop the market as well as an engineering feat.

Lee Spencer from XL Video comments: "The experience of working with Barco on this project was refreshing, as their professionalism, dedication and commitment to every aspect of the MiSphere 's production was inspiring."

Stephan Paridaen, President of Barco's Media and Entertainment division adds: "For the U2 tour, we have worked directly with XL Video and Innovative Design as well as with leading show, lighting and video designers. Willie Williams and Mark Fisher were directly involved in the design and creation of the product."
