Colour Sound Invests in More LED Screens

	Colour Sound's Haydn Cruickshank with some of the new BT6 LED screen.

London, UK-based lighting and visuals rental company Colour Sound Experiment (CSE) has made an investment in LED screen with the purchase of 100-sq.-m. of BT6 6mm pitch high resolution surface.

The product has been manufactured specially for CSE to their specifications and will join the company's existing stock of BT12 and BT37 screens, all from the same factory, designed and built to the same exacting quality standards.

Says CSE's managing director Haydn Cruickshank, "It was clear that we needed a high resolution screen, in particular for our corporate work. Following good experiences with the other pitch screens, it made sense to work with the same team again to bring this one to the market."

CSE's choice of manufacturer was made after extensive research and careful consideration. The relationship has been developed over the last four years buoyed by the experiences in particular of the last batch of BT12, purchased in 2011.

This batch has been in constant use on a variety of corporate and live music events, tours, and festivals. "It's taken some serious strain," confirms Cruickshank, "And proved robust and reliable all the way!"

The BT6 features black-faced LEDs which offer a higher contrast ration -- in this case of 4000:1 -- plus a much neater appearance.

It also has a high refresh rate of 4800 Hz which eliminates the moiré effect and flicker, making it very camera friendly, an essential requirement with so many shows also involving IMAG / camera relay in some capacity.

In addition, it is very lightweight -- at 24Kgs per square meter (a characteristic of the other BT versions too) -- and quick and easy to rig.

The custom rigging system is TUV certified, meets all the standard H&S requirements in the UK and works via a proven quick-lock fixing system for rapid deployment.

The first job for all 100-sq.-m. of CSE's BT6 is for Vodafone.

Having large quantities of different pitch LED screen enables Colour Sound to offer its clients the most flexible, versatile, and cost-effective visual solutions.

The LED screens are also a perfect complement to CSE's stock of Green Hippo, Catalyst, and ArKaos media servers.

When the new delivery of BT20 arrives in CSE's west London warehouse in May, their total stock of LED screen will be in excess of 500-sq.-m.

All of this is already booked out through the summer, when CSE is busy supplying festivals, dance, and live music events with lighting, LED screens, and crews.
