Chauvet enhances Vexata video wall
- Details
Digital Dynamite Productions, which provided the audio and video for the booth, specified Chauvet Professional F3 LED panels.
Austin Jansen of Digital Dynamite Productions comments: “We wanted to have a video wall that didn’t look like a video wall. Our challenge was to find an LED panel that had a minimal footprint and one that hid the rigging and rear of the display. The LED video display had to look as though it was part of a large graphic, so visitors could not tell it was really an LED wall.”
Jansen mounted 68 F3 LED tiles on plywood panels. “The panels were positioned on six separate surfaces that we custom built out of birch plywood and covered with vinyl graphics to hide the rear of the display,” he explained. “The F3 panels were perfect for this job, because they’re serviceable from the front. This allowed us to mount the panel cabinet frame directly to a substrate and wire the LED wall from the front. By doing this, we were able to have minimal clearance behind the LED wall, which created the feeling of the panels being part of the overall graphical display.”
Arranged at irregular angles to one another, the board-mounted panels created a flowing multi-dimensional look at the Vexata booth, giving it an inviting sense of warmth and depth. By changing the configurations of the activated LED modules on the panels, the company was able to create entirely different looks at its booth at different times during the conference.
Vexata used the video walls to display branding images and marketing messages geared toward the conference. At times the wall was also used for a social media posting game that had a countdown timer. Regardless of content, the images displayed on the panels stood out, thanks to the F3 unit’s 3.9 mm pixel pitch and the realistic colors rendered by its RGB SMD LEDs.
