The back of stage area was rigged with PVP S7 LED video panels to create a 6-by-2m screen. The PVP S7 is a solid, high definition video panel with black face SMD LEDs and a tight pixel pitch of 7.8mm, suitable for a high-ambiance festival setting where high-resolution graphics and a high contrast ratio are required. The panels achieve equally crisp images in short- and long-viewing applications, as well as in the dark and in daylight.
The front of the DJ box featured PVP S5 LED video panels, providing a contrast with its tighter 5.2mm pixel pitch for shorter viewing distances. Again, the common PVP video technology with its blackface SMD LEDs countered the high ambience and presented highly defined graphics to the full scope of the audience. A total of 16 PVP S5 LED video panels created a 4-by-1m screen
The screen configuration was controlled, and high definition content driven, via two Avolites Ai media servers.
Darren Kavanagh, Just Lite's video technician for the event, commented, "The Chauvet PVP screens were bright, the images really sharp and clear. The result was really high definition and looked great from both the back of the crowd and up close. They were easy to rig and easy to run - Chauvet make it so easy to use their products: high quality and simple to use."
The Life Festival, located against the backdrop of the beautiful lakeside scenery of Co. Westmeath's Belvedere House Gardens and Park Mullingar, showcased leading electronic artists over a three-day, open-air weekend.
