LED display provider looks to Barco for expanding its line
of large screen video displays for the rental market
Barco announced that Multimedia Farms,
also doing business as LED Display Rentals, has acquired its
C11 LED indoor/outdoor display for use in the company's LED
rental and staging business. The deal was signed at this year's
InfoComm 2010, held in Las Vegas, NV, June 9-11.
Barco's C11 surface mounted LED tile is an indoor/outdoor
solution for both rental and permanent installations. Featuring
11mm pixel pitch and 5,000 nits for superior brightness, it
is the industry's first truly environmentally friendly display,
consuming a fraction of the power and generating much less
heat than other LED displays.
Tested to Mil-Spec 810F standards, it can withstand challenging
environments and features a fanless IP66 enclosure, making
it absolutely waterproof. The use of SMD (surface mount diode)
technology allows viewers to get extremely close to the screen
and still perceive a relatively high-resolution image.
Bruce Neff, a founder and vice president of Multimedia Farms
comments, “We're excited about all the new Barco products
and the C11 is the perfect indoor/outdoor solution for our
business. When I tell a customer that I have Barco, there's
no explanation needed when it comes to image quality, it's
second to none and everyone knows it.”
Multimedia Farms purchased a large number of C11 tiles, enough
to construct several screens and provide the flexibility to
meet a variety of customer needs. Originally established as
a mobile LED display supplier, the company is now going into
“inside work,” offering built-up screens for tradeshows
and corporate environments. “The light weight and low
power consumption of the panels is also ideal for the types
of applications we sell. With the right accessories and Barco's
dedicated technical support, we can design a custom, easy-to-use
solution,” continued Neff.
Multimedia Farms will provide a 16'x9' Barco Elements display
for use at Spotlight Lexington for the upcoming World Equestrian
Games in Lexington, Kentucky. It's the first time the event
will be held in the United States and the first opportunity
for Multimedia Farms to showcase the C11.
Neff is also planning to acquire Barco's C8v, an 8mm pixel
pitch (virtual) 8,000 nits LED tile, which will make Multimedia
Farms the largest stocking partner of trailer-based C11 and
C8v products in the country. “The C11 is flexible, and
doesn't have to be permanently mounted on a trailer. With
the C8v, we will have matching B16 trailers, so customers
can choose different resolutions of mobile LED,” continued
Neff.
“We're excited to partner with Bruce in expanding his
mobile LED business…it's great to be working with someone
who's as focused on quality as we are. With his acquisition
of the C11 and C8v products, Multimedia Farms will be able
to offer customers a multitude of options at various price
points, and continue to build its national reputation for
superior quality portable video displays,” commented
Bill Morris, VP Video Lighting & Solutions North America.
