Procon Adds Barco True Black LED Display to its Rental Fleet
Barco has announced that European Rental Partner Procon is the latest in a line of Rental Partners selecting Barco's 6mm black LED display, the NX-6. With an increasing number of successful references, the NX series is rapidly becoming the indoor LED standard in the industry.
Over the past two decades, Procon, an international technical full service provider for the media, entertainment and event industry, has assembled one of the most advanced and comprehensive equipment pools in the world. They have extensive experience, excellent technical expertise and an outstanding list of references.
Procon continues to take the lead in this fast converging world of video and lighting by investing in a full range of Events products comprising a selection of lighting, projection, creative LED and video products. Together with an order of NX-6 true black LED displays, Procon ordered a significant quantity of MiTRIX modules, DX-700 video processors and XLM HD30 high brightness digital projectors. Also included in the order were 25 Showguns and 25 Showpix, both products from the recently acquired lighting specialist High End Systems.
"At Procon, we have made it our mission to offer our clients the most advanced products on the market today," says Morten Carlsson, CEO of Procon. "We are delighted to add the NX-6 together with all the other Barco equipment to our product portfolio and are looking forward to using them in our upcoming productions."
The NX-6 is the perfect choice for high-quality, high resolution indoor presentations. Using a revolutionary black LED combined with the use of black silicon resin instead of white epoxy, the 6mm NX-6 delivers the deepest black levels of any LED product on the market. With a brightness output of 2000 Nit and market-leading light trap shaders, the NX-6 achieves a stunning contrast ratio of 4200:1.
Moreover, for ease of setup and serviceability, the NX-6 is unsurpassed. Built on a lightweight carbon fiber Mag-frame instead of the traditional steel structure, the tiles can be used in standard displays or split apart to form creative presentations. Each module is easily accessible for service.
Andrew Healey, global marketing manager for Barco's Events business states: "The impression of sharpness and color depth is now not only a factor of resolution, but also of contrast and black levels which are vastly improved by the Black LED. We are also seeing customers investing in the NX family because of its seamlessness and creativity options."
Other rental partners who have recently selected the NX series of LED displays for their rental fleets include Micro Rent S.A (Spain), Avega (Spain) and Kowa (Japan).
