Event technology and equipment.
A current snapshot of the screens, lighting, video walls and projection technology in our warehouse — and what each of them is good for.
LED screen hire and video walls
p2.9 / p3.9 Indoor
Indoor LED video walls
P2.9 and P3.9 LED panels for the screens that need to look good close up. P2.9 is the higher resolution — for stages where the audience is within 5–8 metres of the wall (awards nights, intimate keynotes, broadcast filming). P3.9 is the workhorse — for conferences, larger keynotes, and any wall the audience views from 8 metres or further.
Both stack into seamless walls of any size, and both run from the same media server set-up. Most of our conference work uses one of these two — the choice is a function of room size and audience distance.

Outdoor LED video walls
Weatherproof LED for outdoor events — festivals, brand activations, sports hospitality. Designed for daylight visibility and wet weather. Truss-rigged, ground-stacked, or tower-mounted depending on the venue.

Transparent LED
Transparent LED panels — LED images that you can see through, used for the events that need a different visual register. We’re one of the few suppliers in the North East with transparent LED in stock; it shows up most often on premium retail and brand activations where the standard video wall would be too heavy a treatment.
Projection and projection mapping
Projection mapping wraps surfaces — buildings, walls, sets — in moving image. We use it where the venue itself is part of the brand experience: the BALTIC’s gallery walls, the Quayside buildings, custom-fabricated set pieces.
Projection is also our default for venues where a video wall isn’t physically possible — heritage spaces, marquees, very high ceilings, or events with a budget that doesn’t justify LED. Modern projectors are bright enough for most rooms; the trick is matching projector to surface and ambient light, which is what an experienced AV designer adds.
Lighting
Intelligent moving-head fixtures for keynote moments, awards reveals and brand idents. Conventional wash and architectural lighting for atmosphere. LED uplighters and venue dressing for ambience.
Lighting is designed by a programmer with the run-of-show in front of them — what the audience needs to see, when, and what shouldn’t be visible. The kit list is built second.
Other capabilities
A modern alternative to pop-up banners — slim, high-brightness LED boards that bring an exhibition stand or sponsor wall to life. Good for activations and sponsor reveals.
Holographic display tech — used most often for product reveals, technical demos, and the kind of brand moment that needs to feel different from a screen. Less common than LED, more memorable when used well.
Standalone hire of stage lighting and PA when the brief is kit-only and not full production. Crew chief on the day if needed.
How kit gets specified
Brief
Tell us the room, the audience, and what the brand needs to land. We’ll come back with a kit recommendation built around the show, not the warehouse.
Recce
We visit the venue with the AV designer. Power, rigging points, sightlines, wall surfaces, ambient light. Most kit decisions are made on the recce.
Build
Final kit list locked, crew assigned, kit pulled and prepped. Tech rehearsal day before the event.
