PixelFLEX helps celebrate the Analog Way Americas Grand Opening

Southeastern rep firm HWPco becomes the newest manufacturer’s representative for the award-winning line of PixelFLEX LED video technology

Nashville, 7/5/2016 – Originally founded in 1970, HWPco represents multiple manufacturers across a myriad industries and provides quality products, solutions and technical expertise from their southeast headquarters in Flowery Branch, Georgia. When they were approached by computer and video signal processing manufacturer Analog Way Americas to assist in the Grand Opening ceremony for their new Metro Atlanta headquarters, HWPco was more than happy to help. Now needing to create an exciting atmosphere that would capture the attention of the invited guests, HWPco turned to Nashville-based PixelFLEX who provided the event with the award-winning FLEXCurtain LED video technology.

“For the Grand Opening, we really wanted a welcoming and exciting environment for our guests to be able to truly experience the new facility and show them what Analog Way technology is all about,” began Andrzej Lubaszka, Chief Technologist Analog Way Americas. “As our southeastern rep firm, HWPco has been a tremendous asset in helping us get settled in our new location and they have also introduced us to many new technology partners like PixelFLEX.”

“When Analog Way Americas shared with us their plans to relocate to Georgia, I told them we would love to be a part of the Grand Opening celebration,” began Marcus Myers, HWPco Principal. “Since Analog Way is the backbone and the processing power behind LED video display technology, we knew it would be a perfect fit to bring a LED video manufacturer into the event, and PixelFLEX was the ideal partner.”

As preparations for the Grand Opening celebration got underway, the design team would need to transform the 6,000 square foot warehouse space into an engaging environment to introduce the honored guests to the new Analog Way Americas headquarters and training facility.

Lubaszka continued, “In creating the concept for the celebration, we wanted to set up an official press announcement to truly show the industry that we are fully ready for operations here in Georgia. It was great that we were able to partner with PixelFLEX because they provided a very impressive LED wall that served as the background to the press conference and gave our event a truly dynamic atmosphere for the launch.”

“When evaluating the different LED wall manufacturers, the decision to choose PixelFLEX really came down to the approach of the company as a whole,” explained Myers. “Their products are terrific, but the real draw is the tremendous support on the back end. Being able to provide local support with quality products demonstrated to us that PixelFLEX had the dedication to provide the perfect LED video wall solution, which they absolutely did.”

Now ready to begin the LED wall installation for the Grand Opening, the FLEXCurtain would be divided into three sections measuring a total of 30’ wide x 10’ high; all hung from a truss structure rigged to the roof of the new warehouse.

“I was really happy with how well-packaged, easy-to-use, and lightweight the PixelFLEX system was, and also how smoothly everything went up,” admitted Lubaszka. “Since the wall went up extremely fast, we didn’t have to spend a lot of time trying to figure things out or fix problems on site, and it really gave us the time to focus on the fine details of the event to make the right impression on our guests.”

With the event now set to begin, the honored guests were first treated to an official ribbon-cutting ceremony outside the new facility, and then led inside for the official press announcement backed by the FLEXCurtain LED video wall.

“During the press conference we used the LED wall to show a presentation detailing our company history and headquarters in Paris, and then it also moved into content that reflected our new environment here in the Atlanta area,” explained Lubaszka. “We also used live IMAG for the speakers and then created custom content to give acknowledgement to all our sponsors of the event. Later that day, we also used the FLEXCurtain to conduct a training, and not only did PixelFLEX provide assistance with the planning and execution of the event, they also took part in the training and supported us the whole way.”

Although the Analog Way Americas Grand Opening is now complete, the relationship between HWPco and PixelFLEX has just begun. As the newest rep firm for PixelFLEX, HWPco is excited to see where the relationship will go.

“Prior to the Analog Way Americas celebration, we were actually in discussion with a few LED video screen manufacturers about becoming a rep firm for their product lines,” concluded Myers. “After going through our due diligence, we really felt that PixelFLEX was the best partner for us because we call upon on all vertical markets, including systems integration. Having the opportunity to represent innovative and quality LED video display products that are valuable to all these applications, from a company that is dedicated to customer support, is a tremendous advantage.”

Atlanta Audio Visual adds PixelFLEX LED video to its rental inventory

The award-winning FLEXCurve 8mm LED technology is now in stock at the Atlanta headquarters of the newest PixelFLEX production rental partner

Nashville, 6/29/2016– With over 75 years of combined audio/visual and live event production experience, Atlanta Audio Visual has worked with many corporate and commercial clients in a variety of industries. As a comprehensive design firm, president and CEO Brad McWhorter has built the company on a foundation of providing both quality production engineers and the latest in product innovation. When looking to expand their line of LED video technology, McWhorter once again wanted to be at the forefront of the technology development, so he decided to invest in the Parnelli Award-wining FLEXCurve LED video from Nashville-based PixelFLEX.

“We’ve been working with LED video since about 2012, and we recently began looking for new national partnerships with LED video manufacturers,” began McWhorter. “We needed to find a partner that could offer both the latest in technology, but also handle the back end support and scale-up needed for our larger event designs. When we found PixelFLEX we liked that they were based close to us in Nashville and they have a very talented staff of LED video designers and technicians. We then decided to invest in the FLEXCurve 8mm product line because it’s been proven in the industry and it gives us a great opportunity to scale in-house for the design needed.”

The Parnelli Award-winning FLEXCurve breaks all barriers in the rigid tile category through an innovative dual wing curving LED tile. With an 8mm – 12mm pitch that is designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, the FLEXCurve is available to meet the needs of those looking for high definition LED displays while still maintaining the unique flexible characteristics of PixelFLEX LED video screens. Designed with rigging flexibility in mind, FLEXCurve LED video screens feature easy top-mounting, “Rig and Click” vertical interconnect, hassle-free alignment, plus quick horizontal interconnect and curve setup.

“We are very excited to have begun an outstanding new partnership with Atlanta Audio Visual while continuing to strategically grow our Rental Partner Network,” said David Venus, PixelFLEX Director of Marketing. “With their exceptional reputation in the industry and their dedication to provide outstanding client support, they are an ideal new production rental partner for PixelFLEX products.”

Now with the FLEXCurve LED video wall in their rental inventory, Atlanta Audio Visual has already seen a return from the product investment with the FLEXCurve featured in production designs for the 420 Fest, the Tidal “ColleGrove” album release concert featuring 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne, as well as the 3 Cities Concert Series.  In each of the productions, the FLEXCurve provided a completely new video design and once again demonstrated that its creative flexibility made it the right choice for Atlanta Audio Visual.

“We’ve done the 420 Fest for the past three years and had been using another LED video product, but it always took too long to set up and tear down, plus it wasn’t as bright as we really needed it to be,” continued McWhorter. “This year with the FLEXCurve we flew two 20’ wide x 11’ high LED walls and they loved it so much we are expanding the LED walls next year. In the Tidal concert design, we created a large 50’ wide x 15’ high LED wall for both an artist entrance and an LED background for the performances which was really impressive. Then at the 3 Cities Concert series, we flew the panels from the rafters of the arena to showcase the video content for the three artists performing, but we only had a few hours to get it all in. With the 30” panels of the FLEXCurve and its quick connect system, we were able to cut our assembly time down considerably, and that’s a tremendous advantage.”

Working in a broad spectrum of industries, Atlanta Audio Visual also needs their rental inventory to offer quality performance capabilities in a variety of applications. Putting the FLEXCurve to work in the a live camera environment, McWhorter and the team at Atlanta Audio Visual have now discovered a few more advantages to the PixelFLEX line of LED video technology.

“From a broadcast point of view, when shooting with 4K HD cameras the designer may not want the LED wall as bright as usual, but they also don’t want to lose the grayscale or the contrast in the content,” concluded McWhorter. “With the PixelFLEX processors we are able to not only adjust the brightness of the screen, but we can also adjust the grayscale so that we don’t lose the definition of the color. Plus, another big advantage is the way the PixelFLEX line interacts with our ArKaos Media Servers to bring the live camera feeds directly into the wall, lining it all up pixel-for-pixel, which is absolutely perfect.”

PixelFLEX helps immortalize the moment at Funny or Die

Technical design firm, Najafi Design Group, transforms the historic Scoot Innusing FLEXCurve 8mm LED video technology during SXSW

Nashville, 6/7/2016 – Based in Los Angeles, CA and Las Vegas, NV, Najafi Design Group prides itself on creating designs that truly complete the experience while immortalizing the moment. So when they were approached by Cleft Clips to create an entirely new technical design for Funny or Die, lighting and event designer Sohail e. Najafi was confident his team could completely transform The Historic Scoot Inn. Wanting to consolidate two main elements of their typical production design, a detailed scenic backdrop and high resolution video wall for connect playback, Najafi found an new more cost-effective and dynamic solution, the FLEXCurve 8mm high resolution curved LED video wall from PixelFLEX.

“We first started designing for Cleft Clips in Los Angeles for various comedy specials over the past few years,” began Najafi. “When they brought us back this year, they asked us to manage the technical production for Funny or Die’s venue in Austin. In the past, they had used a traditional goal post truss structure with a suspended LED wall, but this year they challenged us to be more creative.  The solution was curved LED wall, which we were able to do using the FLEXCurve LED.”

The Parnelli award-winning FLEXCurve from PixelFLEX breaks all barriers in the rigid tile category through an innovative dual wing curving LED tile. Designed with a 4mm – 12mm pitch that’s ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, the FLEXCurve exceeds the needs of any live production event looking for a high-definition LED display.

“With a more creative use of LED video in mind, we started looking at how the production typically used painted scenery with lighting inlays as its scenic backdrop, so I decided to combine the two elements and integrate the LED wall in a scenic way,” continued Najafi. “Since The Historic Scoot Inn has a wide quarter round stage that goes upstage to a 90 degree point, we wanted a high-resolution LED product that could create a beautifully, curved viewing panel that spanned the whole stage seamlessly. When we started looking, we found most solutions were significantly out of our client’s budget, weren’t offered with realistic rental options, and we were about to abandon the idea until we found PixelFLEX and the FLEXCurve on the LDI show floor.”

With the LED wall identified, Najafi and his team turned their attention to the load-in planning of the show as it would need to happen during an overnight load-in as quickly as possible. Featuring top-mounting “Rig and Click” vertical interconnects, along with horizontal interconnects and curve setup, the FLEXCurve provided hassle-free alignment and setup with rigging flexibility in mind.

“Our load in time was very tight because we had another project performing and striking the previous day until 2 am, immediately after which we had to start loading in Funny or Die,” added Najafi. “The producers wanted to open their doors by noon on Sunday, and we had to be ready to receive artists and vendors by 9 am. To do this, the LED wall had to go up exceedingly quickly. With its simple connection system, the crew built the 30’ wide x 10’ high FLEXCurve extremely quickly, giving us a smooth and beautifully curved surface.”

Now loaded-in, the wall could present beautifully designed custom graphics and animations that would bring the room alive. With a full day of musical and comedy performances, the FLEXCurve would not only provide the event producers an opportunity to create more dynamic scenic elements for the show, but it also provided them a canvas to apply their own branded content as well.

“The FLEXCurve really gave the venue a visual richness,” explained Najafi. “Having that big, expansive, curved canvas was a tremendous advantage because no matter where you were, you had screen serving your perspective with the animations playing well to all the sightlines. All of the custom content created by Jekyll Works looked absolutely fantastic, plus it provided the producers the chance to have all these wonderful brand activation moments to highlight upcoming events for ‘Funny or Die’ and its affiliates.”

As the last performer took the stage and the evening drew to a close, Najafi knew that he had accomplished all they set out to do. To him, it was the reaction from the fans and producers alike, along with the support from the PixelFLEX crew, which truly immortalized the moment.     

“During the show everyone in the audience was energetically reacting to the LED wall and the overall environment we created for the production,” concluded Najafi. “They were constantly taking photos and recording video, and the producers were extremely happy with the final design commenting that it exceeded all their expectations. PixelFLEX really did a great job of supporting ‘Funny or Die’ to make sure there were no issues, and we really appreciated their commitment to the events success. My producers even sought out the PixelFLEX on-site crew after the event to formally give their thanks and appreciation for all the hard work and attention to detail.”

PixelFLEX mesmerizes the audience at ISC West for VCA Technology

Colorado-based exhibit design house Altitude Exhibits incorporates FLEXLite NXG LED video into a new booth design to creatively showcase security analytics software 

Nashville, 5/26/2016 – Located in Littleton, CO, Altitude Exhibits is a full service exhibit house that has the expertise to design and build everything from award-winning custom trade show exhibits, hybrid custom/modular exhibits, and modular/portable exhibit systems. When approached by video analytics provider VCA Technology to help them create an eye-catching booth design for the ISC West trade show, Altitude Exhibits President Jeremy Luther saw the perfect opportunity to integrate LED video into the design concept. Now needing a technology partner to help him identify the quintessential LED solution, Luther made a call to Nashville-based PixelFLEX who provided him with 3.9mm FLEXLite NXG LED video technology.

“It has always been a desire to incorporate LED technology into our exhibit designs because we know how amazing it looks, however I think that some of our clients may have a notion that it’s too complicated or expensive, but that couldn’t be further from the truth,” began Luther. “As we were speaking with VCA Technology about their ISC West booth design, they really wanted to reinforce to their audience that security wasn’t just all about hardware, but it’s also about what you are seeing and the analytics you can gather. To accomplish this they wanted something completely unique to showcase their software technology, so we implemented the FLEXLite NXG LED video wall as the showcase medium and the outcome was fantastic.”

With one of the highest resolution displays on the market, the FLEXLite NXG is now available in two sizes with 2.6mm-6.25mm pitch options for an even deeper layer of creativity, plus a 6.25mm full outdoor, IP65 version as well. For optimum performance, FLEXLite NXG tiles are calibrated directly out of the box to ensure perfect color and brightness; and with serviceability in mind, easy access to the back of panels allows for quick and simple on-site repairs.

“During the design process, we took a quick look at projection technology, but it just doesn’t give you the visual pop that an LED screen will,” continued Luther. “I had researched PixelFLEX a few years back and was really impressed with their products and the company, so when this project came around I didn’t really look anywhere else.  I knew they had great products, at a great price point, with wonderful customer support, so that was all I really needed to know.”

Getting to work on the final booth design, Luther originally conceptualized a layout with two FLEXLite NXG LED screens that would showcase the VCA Technology software. Wanting to make the boldest statement possible, he then went through a few revisions that led him to finalize on one large 80” tall by 240” wide FLEXLite NXG LED wall for maximum impact of the visual content.

“For the content, we started with about nine different pre-recorded video elements showing through 15 different video windows on the FLEXLite NXG wall, but then we trimmed the final product down to six video elements and used the VCA logo as a transition between each video segment,” added Luther. “To keep the video design engaging throughout the day, we would then transition out of the 15 small video windows and go into two larger areas, or one large viewing area. This really gave us a tremendous flexibility to be creative in ways that we just couldn’t do with projection.”

With the wall now assembled and the content programming drawing to close, Luther and the design team were excited to see how the audience would react when ISC West opened the following day. But before that even happened, it was the reaction of the fellow exhibitors that allowed them to initially gauge the reaction that would be caused by the FLEXLite NXG.

“The night before the show opened while we were putting on the final touches, other exhibitors were stopping to say how amazing the booth looked and that’s when we knew this was going to be good.” concluded Luther. “While we may have had some typical trade show challenges earlier in the day that pushed the LED build back a few hours, our onsite PixelFLEX technician did am amazing job to make sure the FLEXLite NXG was ready to go. Once the show opened, audience members were literally standing in the aisles memorized by the LED screen, and neither Altitude Exhibits nor VCA Technology could have been more pleased.”

PixelFLEX adds Cornerstone AV as its newest production rental partner

Utah-based live event producer adds two award-winning 6.25mm FLEXCurtain HD LED video wall systems to its rental inventory for a wide range of clients nationwide

Nashville, 5/19/2016 – LED video display manufacturer PixelFLEX is proud to announce that Cornerstone AV has been brought on as its newest production rental partner for its award-winning line of LED video technologies. Based in Orem, Utah, Cornerstone AV creates unique experiences at live events across the United States and they have now purchased two 6.25mm FLEXCurtain HD LED video wall systems to incorporate into their rental inventory.

“We have been working with LED video walls for a few years now so when I had clients start requesting LED walls that could be set-up and torn-down more quickly without sacrificing HD quality, we took notice of the FLEXCurtain HD,” began Dave Schnitker, Cornerstone AV. “I really like the size of the panels and I think PixelFLEX did a great job of designing the header bars so that they are very easy to work with in the linking system. As a rental partner, they went all out to get us the products in the time needed and they are now out with the Monster Energy ‘Outbreak Tour’ featuring Fetty Wapp, and the Donny Osmond National Tour.”

The 2015 Parnelli Award-winning FLEXCurtain HD is a lightweight and flexible LED video screen ideal for high resolution video playback and video effects for a wide range of live event and touring applications. Its hi-res LED video can be driven by any DVI output, and the multi-directional, flexible design of the FLEXCurtain HD makes it easy to store and transport. FLEXCurtain HD is 60-90% lighter than the competition, and using the quick-lock system, 512 square feet of FLEXCurtain HD can be setup and broken-down in under 15 minutes.

Standard size panels are 2’x’8’ or 2’x4’ and can easily be folded in half for storage and transportation, ultimately saving crucial truck space.

“Cornerstone AV has a tremendous reputation in the live event industry for producing creative and well-organized events,” said Grif Palmer, PixelFLEX Vice President of Sales. “By adding the FLEXCurtain HD into their rental inventory, they are now offering their clients even more opportunities to make their event a truly memorable experience, and we are excited to welcome them as our newest rental partner.”

“With the purchase of the FLEXCurtain HD, we are now going through a process of weighing the comparisons between HD projectors and HD LED video walls,” concluded Schnitker. “In looking at the two, LED walls provide lower power consumption, a quicker set-up, better color balancing, and the maintenance costs over the life expectancy is far superior. With all that together, the FLEXCurtain HD will be a tremendous asset to our rental inventory and we look forward to adding even more LED video technologies from PixelFLEX.

PixelFLEX helps transform a new worship environment for Calvary Chapel

Worship Pastor Tony Monto uses FLEXLite 3.9mm LED video technology to create an ideal worship environment during a temporary relocation of the worship family  

Nashville, 5/11/2016 – Located in Las Vegas, NV, Calvary Chapel Spring Valley is a growing worship family who is also dedicated to building a strong educational foundation through the Calvary Chapel Christian School on site as well. As the congregation has now outgrown their current facility, they have temporarily relocated to the school’s gymnasium in order to hold their worship services. With a desire to bring LED video into the new facility, Calvary Chapel then took this opportunity to incorporate the technology into the gymnasium environment as well, and they did so using FLEXLite 3.99mm LED from PixelFLEX.

“When we began our capital building campaign, we knew we wanted LED video in our new worship facility, but we also needed it to help create a more ideal environment in the gymnasium during our relocation,” began Tony Monto, Worship and Young Adults Pastor. “When looking at which LED product to choose we were driven by size and wanting to get the highest quality within our budget, but we also had to be aware of weight since the wall would be temporarily hung in the school gymnasium. Also keeping in mind that we would have to set-up and tear-down the wall each week, we first started looking at LED curtains, but as we started speaking with PixelFLEX they explained how the best solution would be the FLEXLite 3.9mm and they were completely right.”

The FLEXLite is an economical solution to other traditional LED panels providing both indoor and outdoor options which can be installed and dismantled by one person, making them ideal for the house of worship market. With its bright, dense display and high refresh rate, incorporating FLEXLite it into any worship service takes no added effort, and its easy access back panels allow for simple on-site repairs without the hassle of removing the entire back of a tile.

“Each week we start the complete load-in with all the flooring, seating, staging, sound, and lighting elements for a Sunday service on Saturday morning at 6 am and wrap around 10 am,” continued Monto. “For the FLEXLite LED video wall, my IT guy and I arrive on Sunday at 6am to make sure it’s up by 7:30am for morning service rehearsal, but it really only takes us about 45 minutes to get it ready to go. This was a critical component in selecting which LED wall to use and the FLEXLite has worked perfectly.”

Now that the new LED wall was in place, it was time for Monto to begin programming the content which would help transform the gymnasium into the worship environment needed for the pastor to deliver the message to his congregation.

“The FLEXLite LED video wall has now replaced all the projection elements in our worship services,” added Monto. “We are utilizing ProPresenter for our lyrics and video, and our pastor uses Keynote to display his sermon notes while speaking to the congregation. In the past, we would have trouble with our projection not being bright or vibrant enough for our content, but we no longer have to worry about that with the FLEXLite.”

Going into the process of selecting an LED video wall, Monto knew it would be a bit of a learning opportunity. They would need a trusted partner to help guide the way, and by working with PixelFLEX, that’s exactly what they received.

“We had no prior training or education on how to install or use LED video walls, but PixelFLEX really took care of us the entire way,” concluded Monto. “By switching to an LED video wall, we now have thousands of hours of longevity in the product life, plus the complete versatility to change the worship environment at any time. This makes the FLEXLite perfect for both what we need now and what we will need when we move into our new facility as well.”

PixelFLEX announces Intellasound Productions as its newest rental partner

Wisconsin-based live event and touring support provider adds the Parnelli Award-winning FLEXCurve 6mm LED video technology to its rental inventory

Nashville, 5/2/2017 –The multi-award winning LED video display manufacturer PixelFLEX is proud to announce Intellasound Productions as its newest production rental partner. With its headquarters in Verona, Wisconsin, Intellasound Productions has been supplying audio, lighting, staging, backline and touring support for a wide variety of live events, and they have now added FLEXCurve 6mm LED video technology from PixelFLEX to their rental inventory to strengthen their client support nationwide.

“Our decision to make the investment into the FLEXCurve technology was really driven by the fact that many of our clients have been requesting an LED wall for their events,” began Tim Woodworth, Intellasound Productions. “As this started to happen more often, we would sometimes have difficulty finding an LED wall to rent in our area, and would have to typically bring one in from Chicago. Ultimately, we decided that if we were to make this investment into our rental inventory it would not only add savings to our bottom-line, but it would make LED walls more accessible and affordable for all our clients.”

With the decision now made, Intellasound began looking at the various LED walls on the market. As they did so, they had two main characteristics that the wall had to offer, and it was these product criteria that led them to PixelFLEX.

“When we started looking at the LED video walls, we first had to have one that was rated for outdoor use since we do a majority of our work in outdoor environments,” added Woodworth. “Next, we also wanted to be on the cutting-edge of technology in a 5-6mm pixel pitch range and when we started speaking with PixelFLEX they informed us of the FLEXCurve 6mm LED video wall. We got very excited because we had never even thought about the possibility of having a curved product, so once we knew it was possible with an outdoor-rating and a 6mm pixel pitch, we were very happy to move forward.”

The Parnelli award-winning FLEXCurve from PixelFLEX breaks all barriers in the rigid tile category through an innovative dual wing curving LED tile. Designed with a 4mm – 12mm pitch that’s ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications (IP65-rated), the FLEXCurve exceeds the needs of any live production event looking for a high-definition LED display.

“We felt very comfortable making the investment in PixelFLEX because we knew they have quite a few major clients who love the performance of their multi-award winning LED video technologies,” concluded Woodworth. “Their video walls are proven in the industry and we are now using the FLEXCurve for a combination of live production and corporate events. With its versatility, functionality and impressive output all of our clients have been very impressed, and the FLEXCurve was definitely the right choice for our rental inventory. In fact we are currently in the process of placing an order that will double our inventory for 2016.”

PixelFLEX offers an artistic expression at Bethel World Outreach Church

Technical Director Garrett Hestla relies upon FLEXLite 6.9mm LED video technology to provide the visual impact of an immersive experience

Nashville, April 27, 2016 – Originally founded in 1984, the Bethel World Outreach Church has seen its ministry grow to where they currently hold worship services in six locations nationwide. As part of this growth, the worship family located in Brentwood, TN, recently underwent a building campaign to expand their ministry even further and in doing so they wished to make LED video a part of their worship services. While attending the WFX tradeshow in Nashville, Senior Pastor James Lowe found his solution for the new facility which was FLEXLite 6.9mm LED video tiles from PixelFLEX.

“With our Bethel Build Campaign underway, we were also about to undertake a month-long sermon series where our pastor wanted to show HD video elements during the message,” began Technical Director Garrett Hestla. “This was something entirely new for us and since we wanted to bring LED video into the new facility as well, we started looking at all the LED video products that could really help deliver an impactful message. I’ve known about PixelFLEX for a while and so after our pastor also met them at WFX, we agreed the FLEXLite 6.9mm would be a great solution for our worship services.”

The FLEXLite from PixelFLEX is an economical solution to other traditional LED panels providing both indoor and outdoor options which can be installed and dismantled by one person, making them ideal for the house of worship market. With its bright, dense display and high refresh rate, incorporating FLEXLite it into any worship service takes no added effort, and its easy access back panels allow for simple on-site repairs without the hassle of removing the entire back of a tile.

“With the FLEXLite chosen we got to work loading-in so that we could be ready in time for the new sermon series,” explained Hestla. “We didn’t have a large crew so we had volunteers from the church assist with the load-in which started about 7:30 am. To build the wall, we stacked the FLEXLite tiles four-high and once it was installed you could easily see that we would definitely be able to create an amazing visual experience.”

Now ready for the services to begin, Hestla and the design team began working on the content needed to complete the LED video installation.  As the content was easily uploaded, Hestla was able to see the full FLEXLite wall in action for the first time, and it certainly didn’t disappoint.

Hestla continued, “For the content, we like to use a system called ProPresenter and run a series of motion graphics behind lyrics, as well as show video announcements and use the screen for any multimedia needs of Special Guests speaking during a service. It’s honestly quite stunning to have the content going on behind you 16 feet tall because it really becomes part of the show and everything looks amazing.”

With the full installation now complete, the FLEXLite 6.9mm LED video wall was introduced to the congregation at Bethel World Outreach Church. Watching with joy from the front of the house, Hestla is not only grateful for how the LED wall has transformed their worship services, but also for the support they received from PixelFLEX along the way.

“I really can’t say enough about the support we received from the full team at PixelFLEX who has truly been there for us every step of the way,” concluded Hestla. “In our services, we really try to use the FLEXLite LED wall as an artistic expression. We want to give the worship services a tremendous visual impact, which in turn gives the congregation an immersive experience into the pastor’s message, and its performance has been outstanding.”
