Billed by the company as 'the largest LED wall in Georgia', the new video screen is comprised of EVLED 1024SMD 20mm LED panels from Elation Professional. Each of the IP65-rated panels features 1024 pixels made of 3-in-1 SMD Tri-Color LEDs (red, green, blue), capable of creating over 14 trillion colours. Active purchased 80 of the 2'2" square panels, which can be configured to form a video screen of any desired size or shape to meet a wide range of design needs.
"Active clients expect innovation, and the LED wall has provided us with a whole new A-V design concept from which to create," said Matt Clouser, president of Active Production and Design. "Our new LED wall produces dynamic video displays that equate to awesome visual effects for Active's conferences, meetings and special events."
Already the company has seen its investment in the Elation panels bear results, as the LED wall "has been a huge hit with our clients," reported Clouser. At a recent annual conference event for a national organisation, the company created a stunning visual backdrop by flying five separate 8'x10' vertical panels centre stage in a staggered grouping. Various media effects were fed to the wall throughout the programme.
In another application at a major corporate conference, a different type of dramatic look was achieved by configuring the panels into unconnected sections. Four separate 4'x12' vertical panels were hung in between three 12'x21' widescreens to accentuate the program and staging by 'breaking up' the backdrop with a modern video display.
