Scenic LED
Scenic LED products involve sending an animated video image to a number of creative LED modules, forming the pixels of the image. There are a number of products currently on the market which sit on this increasingly hazy line between video and lighting.

Essential have selected the Barco’s Mi-Trix and Mi-Strip Scenic LED products, to add to their hire stock, as these are the most exciting to the Live Event set or lighting designer. We are proud to be the first lighting company in the world to offer these contrasting and complementary products for hire, as part of a lighting system.

The modular systems offer a highly creative building block, allowing the scenic video image to be presented across an imaginatively constructed canvas, not simply a rectangular screen. These are an exciting new tools available to produce an entirely new and varied scenic look. These products are deliberately designed and selected to push creative boundaries and offer unlimited configurability options, both to the eye and to the camera.

Both the Mi-Strip & Mi-Trix products present a high degree of transparency, allowing creative scenic use by combining the products with traditional lighting and scenic techniques. The products can be integrated with many scenic materials and can be used as a transformation surface in a reveal sequence, in place of, for example, traditional gauze.

The content that is presented across this scenic vista can be either custom designed and produced or derived from the stock images on a Media Server. Full integration with the show and lighting system is achieved through the content being controlled and modified by connection of the media server to the show’s lighting desk.
