UK - XL Video UK has purchased 625sqm of Main Light Industries' Soft-LED drape. This is the first Soft-LED product to be purchased in the UK. 300sqm of it has gone straight out on the Kylie Minogue Showgirl world tour, which kicks off next week in Glasgow - for which XL is supplying full video production. The Soft-LED was specified by LD Vince Foster.

The remaining 325sqm is designated for other up-coming XL projects - including Maroon 5 and Destiny's Child. The company is also about to invest in a further 1000sqm of Soft-LED. XL's Lee Spencer said: "When I saw it in action at the Kylie rehearsals I was well impressed. The product's incredible impact has achieved exactly what the designers where looking for". XL Celebrates its fifth birthday this month. "Five years on, and XL is still at the forefront of video display technology" continues Spencer "We are constantly driven by our client's creative visions and their demands to be the first and the best at what they do"

SoftLED is a highly flexible low resolution surface that's ideal for full colour graphics, text and low res video effects of all types. Main Light has incorporated a full colour LED array into its LightScape curtain. It can be controlled via Color Kinetics Light System Composer (LSC) software running the Ethernet-based Light System Engine (LSE) hardware engine.
