Phil Mercer.
UK - Phil Mercer has joined XL Video's project management team, where he'll be concentrating his energies on the application of video in live music and theatre, and on the rapidly continuing creative fusion of lighting and video media and technologies. Having spent the previous four years working for leading moving light manufacturer High End Systems, Mercer first became involved in video via their award-winning Catalyst product. XL Video was one of the first UK rental operations to invest in Catalyst digital media servers and their DL1 moving projection heads.

Mercer's experience in overseeing large Catalyst shows includes working on the last three Eurovision Song Contests and Peter Gabriel's recent tour. "It's hugely exciting to be working with the UK's leading live video company," he says. "I'm looking forward to working with a growing number of lighting designers who are also now designing and running video as an integral imaginative element of their shows."

XL Video's Lee Spencer says: "Getting Phil on board will strengthen the support we can offer to this fast developing area of business. It further underlines the growing diversity of XL expertise and our commitment to being at the leading edge of the technologies."
