VIOSO has announced LEDtools, a new software solution for camera-based auto-calibration of LED walls. The software brings VIOSO’s long-standing calibration expertise natively into the LED domain and enables precise, fully automated alignment of complex or curved LED structures. Automatic LED calibration in minutes instead of hours LEDtools analyses non-planar LED walls using cameras and automatically aligns them geometrically — without manual mesh mapping. Even irregular or large-scale installations can be set up significantly faster and with higher consistency. The result: drastically reduced setup times, fewer errors, and a stable, reliable commissioning process. Unique EyeView colour correction – perfect colour reproduction…

Earlier this year, Young Nak Church took on a new kind of illumination, in the form of nearly three dozen new elektraLite lighting fixtures in the church’s sanctuary. These were installed by the church’s longtime systems integrator, Orange County-based Solid Sound Solution, which had recently added lighting system design and installation…
Named after the former French international handball player, the Jean-Michel Geoffroy Sports Hall in the French city of Dijon was inaugurated on January 21, 1977. Home to the JDA Dijon Basket basketball and the Dijon Métropole Handball teams and known as the Palais des Sports, fans at the stadium have a reputation for being particularly knowledgeable, and also vociferous in their support, resulting in an often-noisy atmosphere in the 4000-seat arena. So, a primary focus of the brief for a new sound system was centred around a requirement for significant improvements in the intelligibility of match commentary. Nicolas Gaillard, Audiovisual…

Richmond’s Orange Tree Theatre has taken a bold step towards sustainability and creative innovation with a major investment in new LED lighting fixtures, supplied and supported by White Light (WL). As an intimate, in-the-round venue where audiences are just centimetres from the stage, the Orange Tree Theatre faces unique technical challenges.

Phil Bell, Technical and Production Director at the Orange Tree, explained: “Reliability was a big issue. Our old kit needed frequent repairs, and the heat from traditional fixtures made the space uncomfortable.…
