CNN Casts Its Vote for GoVision

The eyes of America were glued to their television sets last night as election results trickled in from across the nation. Millions of households tuned to CNN, which was supplementing its wall-to-wall coverage by hosting election-viewing events in Chicago, Illinois and Boston, Massachusetts, the respective home bases of President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney.

As has become the custom at such high-profile events, GoVision's LED screens were front and center. CNN hired Texas-based GoVision, a supplier of customized modular LED walls and turnkey mobile LED units, to provide and install its giant screens at both free public viewing events to ensure that the anticipated large crowds had an excellent view of the progressive vote counts and CNN's coverage throughout the night.

In Boston, GoVision built a 24' x 40' modular screen comprised of Panasonic 8mm tiles and mounted it onto a truss structure at the historic Faneuil Hall Marketplace. The mammoth screen offers true HD thanks to its massive pixel count, and was frequently visible during CNN's "Election Night in America" coverage, which began at 4:00pm EST.

For the network's Chicago event, GoVision provided its 19' x 33' "GoBigger" unit, the largest high-definition mobile LED screen in the world, the company says. The truck-mounted video screen was located along Randolph Street in front of the James R. Thompson Center Plaza in downtown Chicago. It, too, was a regular sight throughout CNN's "Election Night in America" broadcast.

GoVision worked with Production Design Associates of Charleston, South Carolina, which handled all of the logistics around the election-viewing events.

"We have been privileged to work with a large number of very important events, including the last two Presidential Inaugurations; but when it comes right down to it, few things are as historically significant as electing a US President," said Chris Curtis, GoVision's president. "We're proud that CNN entrusted a portion of their election night coverage to us, and our team was ready to do its part to ensure that their audiences are treated to a memorable experience."
