Impact take delivery of AlphaPix2 from AC-Entertainment
Mar 22, 2017
Impact Production Services (IPS) has added nearly 200 aPix2 high-resolution indoor LED video panels to its inventory, supplied by AC Entertainment Technologies (AC-ET).
IPS, which offers dry-hire equipment through to complete technical production services for events, approached AC-ET’s specialist video sales division when it was looking to make a significant investment in a high-resolution LED screen system for its rental clients.
AC-ET recommended the aPix2 panel due to its 2.9mm pixel pitch, which is used for corporate AV presentations or other types of content benefitting from a high-resolution display.
AC-ET’s video sales division supplied IPS with 198 x 0.5sq/m aPix2 LED panels, plus related screen processors and flybars, creating a total display area of nearly 50sq/m featuring 5,588,352 pixels. In addition, AC-ET’s in-house Tourflex Cabling assembly service supplied 220 metres of Tourmate powerCON cables for use with the panels. The supply also included full on-site product training, backed by a two year warranty and AC-ET’s ‘peace of mind’ technical support for the aPix2 system.
IPS business manager, Karl Saunders commented, “The Apix2 has fitted neatly into our rental stock, offering a true sub-3mm pitch, high-resolution option screen. Bright and clear screen content is displayed with remarkable clarity. Coupled with the ease of screen assembly and straightforward set-up with the Novastar software, I expect the aPix2 to be a firm favourite among our technicians and clients.”
Developed by ProLights, the AlphaPix feature set includes black-faced SMD LEDs for high-contrast and high colour consistency, colour-calibrated panels for superior image reproduction, a high refresh rate for flicker-free results on camera, advanced greyscale properties, automatic image correction, and a 160° viewing angle.
Utilising a robust, lightweight, die-cast aluminium housing with a fast interlock system requiring no tools, the front access, magnetically positioned LED Display Modules create a seamless image which can be configured in almost any shape to suit the creative requirements of productions. In addition, the design provides easy and fast maintenance as well as reducing set-up times.
