With its 12 awards including four first prizes, almost one third of all the ILDA Awards for outstanding creative achievements went to Lobo during the glamorous ceremony. This brings the Aalen-based company's total in just 10 years to 69 ILDA awards, including more than 20 first prizes.
Four of Lobo's 3D beam shows were awarded prizes, including two first prizes. All winning beam shows originate from the Lobo's Software Contract - a show subscription service that offers subscribers one beam show per month.
Key to many of Lobo's achievements is its laser and multimedia workstation LACON-5, introduced to the market in 2002. This can control up to 16 independent projectors and all the peripheral units required for spectacular multimedia shows. Without LACON-5, say Lobo, the realization of the first prize-winning laser show Mystère, winner in the Indoor Show category, would not have been possible.
Lobo regards Mystère as a "laser show of the next generation" adding that even laser experts have been amazed by the high resolution projections of MPEG videos which can be displayed by Lobo's latest Scanline Laser Video technology via common laser projectors in combination with classic line displays and three-dimensional beam effects.
