Elation debuts transparent LED video panels

USA - Elation Professional's new lightweight, transparent IP65-rated LED video panels have been designed for creating vibrant video screens, curtains and backdrops. The panels are available in three versions: medium-resolution SMD Tri-Color, EVLED 1024SMD (20mm pixel pitch); medium-resolution RGB Discrete LED, EVLED 1024 (18.75mm pixel pitch); and low-resolution RGB Discrete LED, EVLED 256 (37.5 mm pixel pitch).

Suitable for concerts, stages, touring productions and special events, the EVLED panels feature an integrated rigging/hanging system that allows users to easily assemble any size LED video screen, large or small. Up to 16 pieces can be linked on one AC circuit, and as many as 1,000 pieces can be run from one Ethernet video output using Elation's ELED VSC driver (sold separately), which can run two outputs to two screens simultaneously.

With brightness up to 5,500 nits, the EVLED panels are fully viewable in daylight, unlike many projection video systems. This makes them appropriate for displaying video at outdoor festivals, concerts and events that take place before sundown.

"One of the biggest trends today in lighting and production is the convergence of lights with video, so we designed the EVLED panels to serve as the perfect 'pixel screen,'" said Eric Loader, director of sales for Elation Professional. "These transparent LED panels are extremely bright, yet they're also very compact, lightweight and easy to set up, which makes them great for touring and rentals. They can be used anytime, anywhere, since they're daylight-viewable and rated at IP65, meaning they've been tested to withstand dust and rain for outdoor applications. Plus, they're priced very affordably."
