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."
