Barco LED dominates 2003 Frankfurt Auto Show.
Barco showcases over 2760 square meters of its LED display products at this year's "Internationale Auto Ausstellung" (IAA) in Frankfurt, Germany.
Renowned for its longstanding leadership in the visualization industry, Barco is proud to announce that this year’s Internationale Auto Ausstellung (IAA) in Frankfurt, Germany, features over 2760 square meters of its indoor and outdoor LED display products. Over the past three years, Barco’s share of the sizeable Auto Show market has continued to increase dramatically. In 2001, Barco had over 300 square meters of its LED products at the Frankfurt Auto Show. The following year, Barco showcased almost 700 square meters LED at the Detroit Auto Show. This year, Barco leads the way by announcing the launch of its MiPIX, a brand new LED pixel block, as well as by having its in- and outdoor LED displayed on an overwhelming majority of booths on the show, thus proving to be the preferred solution provider in the high-end rental & staging market."We pride ourselves on the product and system integrity of our LED displays - factors which we know are crucial to exhibitors when choosing which product to use on their booth," says Barco Media & Entertainment General Manager, Stephan Paridaen.
The Barco LED display systems are represented at IAA via some of Barco’s worldwide rental partners including ICT, CT Creative Technology, Massteknik, ETF, Euphon, Gahrens & Batterman, Euphon, VPS, Videorental and XL Video.
As one of the world’s foremost rental and staging companies, CT Creative Technology (Germany) provided Barco LED products to numerous booths, including the Barco ILite 6 LED displays and SLM G8 projectors used on the Daimler-Chrysler booth. Says CT Managing Director, Germany, Georg Rossler: “Our customers rely on us to provide them with state-of-the-art visualization solutions that combine quality and reliability. The Barco LED products are renowned for their reliability and recognized in our industry as the reference in quality. Add to that the fact that the picture quality is simply unsurpassed and it becomes clear why we continue to offer this product to our clients.”
Of the 2760 square meters of Barco LED display products on show at IAA, the majority (1800 square meters) is made up of the newly launched MiPIX LED blocks. Much of the remainder of the LED product on show comes from the renowned Ilite product range. Currently available in three versions, the ILite 6, 8 and 10 guarantees images with brightness over 2,000 Nits. The high visual resolution ranging between 6 and 10 mm further improves the image quality, even for an audience standing as short as 9 feet/3 meters or at an angle up to 165° from the surface of the display.
