CT Adds Barco NX4
Creative Technology’s Staging of Barco
NX-4 Tiles Wows Viewers in Frankfurt
Striking 6x10 display relies on true black technology to deliver both live content and high-resolution animations.
June, 2008 — With its recent purchase of 60 square meters of Barco’s NX-4 indoor LED tiles, Creative Technology Group, a leading international provider of specialist audio visual equipment, has become the latest in a growing number of fans of this true black LED display solution.
“We have been evaluating the black chip LED for the last twelve months,” said Stephan Gray, CT’s Chief Operating Officer. “With the NX-4, we found a product that delivered on our key requirements — color uniformity, mechanical uniformity, and resolution.”
CT Germany built its first project with the Barco NX-4 modules in April at the OSRAM stand in the Light + Building 2008 in Frankfurt. A 6x10 module screen (14 square meters) became the the most eye-catching display on the scene, impressing viewers with the clarity and brilliance of both live content in HD and high resolution graphic animations.
OSRAM is one of the two largest manufacturers of lighting products in the world. CT Germany delivered the complete video technology solution for the OSRAM stand, and was responsible for the technical realization of the OSRAM press conference using HD broadcast technology, including fiberglass transmission of the press conference to another OSRAM stand in hall 4.
The NX-4 is the perfect choice for high-quality, high resolution indoor presentations such as the OSRAM stand. Using a revolutionary Black LED and the use of black silicon resin instead of white epoxy, the 4mm NX-4 delivers the deepest black levels of any LED product on the market — and more. With a brightness output of 2000 Nit and market-leading light trap shaders, the NX-4 achieves a stunning contrast ratio of 4000:1.
Moreover, for ease of setup and serviceability, the NX-4 has no competition. Built on a lightweight Mag-frame instead of the traditional box, the tiles can be used in standard displays or split apart to form creative presentations. Each module is easily accessible for service.
“Creative Technology consistently strives to be the first to offer our clients the latest products from the worlds leading equipment suppliers,” said Gray. “We are pleased to add the Barco NX-4 to our extensive inventory of indoor/outdoor and creative LED products.”
