Barco LED Displays Selected for Toby Keith Tour
Atlanta, GA – October 17, 2003 - I-MAG Video is providing Barco high-performance display technology for the Toby Keith Shock ‘N Y’all Tour. The tour, which kicked off its 60-plus city run at the Ford Motor Company’s Centennial Celebration on June 15, 2003 in Dearborn, MI, will continue through October before wrapping in College Station, Texas. With over 768,000 tickets sold last year, Keith was the top ticket-selling country artist of 2002, according to POLLSTAR’s 2002 year-end ticket sales chart.
Keith’s elaborate stage show includes the use of 144 Barco DLite 7 tiles (approximately 310 square feet), configured to show live shots of Keith, his band and video during the concert. The DLite is recognized as the benchmark in the industry for its picture quality, flexibility and reliability. Barco’s Dual Pixel Technology allows for picture smoothness and an enhanced resolution. “We were the first company to ever buy the Barco DLite 7 in North America,” said Steve Daniels, President I-MAG Video. “Because of its reliability and resolution, it was an easy decision.”
I-MAG Video specializes in the staging of large screen video for concert tours and conferences. Cutting edge video display products, a focus on excellence and years of experience, have made I-MAG Video leaders in the staging market.
“I-MAG Video does an incredible job with concert tours such as Toby Keith’s Shock ‘N Y’all tour,” said Curt Petty, Barco Market Business Manager, Events. “We are positive that concert-goers will be pleased and impressed with the quality of the images they see on the Barco DLite 7.”
