Capitol House Productions Creates Seamless Plasma Walkway

The EuroHedge Awards are the most prestigious in the industry, celebrating Hedge Fund Manager’s achievements throughout Europe. Over 800 managers, investors, and other industry professionals turned out in force for the stylish occasion.

Production specialist Capitol House Productions installed two strips of bezel-less Infinite Plasmas, the first ran down the hotel’s entrance walkway to The Great Room and the second greeted guests once inside. The plasmas displayed event and sponsor branding to catch the eyes of guests as they walked into the event.

Eight brand new Infinite 4230R Plasmas were used for the event, sourced from PSCo, which has recently updated its videowall fleet with £100,000 of new screens and accessories.

Amanda Murray, head of production explained: “The foyer entrance into the Great Room at Grosvenor House is a production challenge because of its shape and size. We wanted to create something that prominently displayed the sponsors and awards logos, showcased the nominated funds and transformed the foyer into a glamorous entrance into the venue.

“We worked with PSCo videowall technicians who fixed the plasmas directly to the wall in strips, one in 1x5 formation and other in 1x3 formation, and colour balanced the screens to ensure they looked great once in position.”

PSCo rental director Mike Nield explained: “The Infinite Plasma is a unique product which offers great space saving features for use in walkways and in small spaces. The new panels we have just bought are great because of their increased brightness and contrast, making them really striking and the anti-reflective surface means they even perform well in high ambient light. They come with the latest in BIC technology which means that static logos can be displayed for long periods of time without the risk of them burning onto the screen.”
