Nashville, TN (11/29/2021) – Southside Church based in Warner Robbins, Georgia was founded over 70 years ago. As a church with traditional roots, they have searched to find modern ways to reach new people through their three church campuses. Southside aims to make each service as accessible as possible to bring more people back to church who have not attended in many years. Leading up to their popular Easter Sunday services, one of their side screen projectors stopped working, and they needed a trustworthy and reliable solution, quickly.
The space needed very specific 16’ x 9’ panels on both sides of the stage. Southside wanted to be sure these could handle live feeds and they preferred a tighter pixel pitch of 2.9 (previously used 3.9). While they didn’t want to make any major design changes to their space, they did opt for an option that was clearer and brighter than their previous displays. Each service is held in a large auditorium setting of 2100-2400 people, and it was important to make the displays vibrant and accessible so that the people sitting in the back still felt like they were an important part of the service.
Southside Church has worked to implement visual updates throughout their campuses in recent years. LED displays weren’t something Southside’s Director of Media, Chris Clark, had a lot of knowledge about, and he knew he wanted to talk with an expert. After searching on Google and reading positive reviews, he picked up the phone and spoke with PixelFLEX’s Director of Sales, Jon Lewis. They clicked right away, and it was clear that they were on the same page about both the needs and budget of the project. Southside first worked with PixelFLEX in 2017 when PixelFLEX installed its FlexTour 3.9, center screen LED panel, to create a new look for their TV display. When it was time to replace their projectors, they already knew exactly who they wanted to work with in the midst of a demanding time of the year for Southside.
Right around the time when Chris called, PixelFLEX had just announced the new EFp Series, and had 2.9mm available and ready to be sent out. This made it possible to meet the deadline, and they were able to receive a 2.9mm resolution for less per panel than what was paid for a 3.9mm in 2017.
Chris Clark, Director of Media, said, “Our previous projectors were 14 years old, and they completely shut down one Sunday morning. We made a call to PixelFLEX without hesitation because we had such a great first experience with them. They are truly friends now, and they made the process so comfortable, clear, and upfront.”
Because Southside worked with PixelFLEX previously, they were confident about who to call to find a solution. Chris worked closely with the PixelFLEX team and was updated every step of the way. “I cannot imagine a better experience,” he said.
Southside church wants to focus on being excellent from the parking lot to the auditorium, and they have worked hard to create a thoughtful and inviting space. “Our end goal of the experience is to present the gospel as clearly as you can and it helped with that,” Chris said. The new displays also help to create a strong first impression to new visitors and make it less complicated to follow along with the service. “We want to enhance the worship experience and make it easy for people to digest the message,” Chris explained. This solution sets Southside up to continue to grow and welcome new members in the coming years.
Collaboration was an important part of the success of this project. Two of the projectors were dying, and there were multiple conversations to help find the best solution in budget. Chris said, “Jon talked about a panel that was within budget, and they already knew roughly what we wanted to spend. They needed to know the technical aspects, how would it be hung, needed trusses, needed to know about power. The crew that came out was fantastic. I would expect nothing less.”
The PixelFLEX team has enjoyed building a relationship with Southside over the years. Jon said, “Chris and I were in daily communication once we were on the clock. From motor control/truss to power/data connections and content delivery, it was all hands on deck to meet our deadline of Easter Sunday. Onsite, we were able to do software calibration to help the side screens color match closely to the LED currently installed. The sharper resolution on the smaller side walls really helps provide definition to fonts and camera work.”
The impact at Southside became clear at the very next service, and people were excited to see these improvements. “The execution of everything was perfect, zero issues. Audience reaction was exactly what we thought when they walked in, they noticed immediately. It was all much brighter and clearer. Even our staff and pastors love it. The media team loves it and is in awe. On Sunday I can overhear people talking about them noticing that service was different. We are as happy as you could possibly be.”

American-based LED manufacturer’s large inventory investment is keeping projects and its customers ahead of an industry-wide backlog
NASHVILLE, TN– September 24, 2021– The LED manufacturing space, like many industries, is facing a lack of inventory and shipping delays resulting from a domino effect of pandemic shutdowns. In fact, many companies are raising their prices and lengthening their lead times, while PixelFLEX is continuing to meet budgetary needs within reasonable timeframes.
Planning ahead for this dilemma, PixelFLEX has invested significant capital to purchase products for inventory, providing a large quantity of stock to maintain in the US market for its customers and their projects. This push provides a laser focus on PixelFLEX’ EF series (2.6 and 3.9mm) indoor install economy product, with fully front serviceable access.
The EF Series production provides high-quality features, boasting an economical solution for indoor LED solutions. During a time when access to products is difficult, and budgets are restricted– the EF Series offers a true solution for event spaces, churches, and corporate facilities. All spaces that continue to be impacted by the effects of the ongoing pandemic.
“We are thrilled to be able to offer an affordable product with in-stock solutions,” said Jon Lewis, PixelFLEX’s Director of Sales. “Our clients are always incredibly understanding in difficult times, so it’s exciting to be able to over-deliver for them!”
PixelFLEX’s EF Series continues to make waves in the industry, with delivered projects growing amidst the lingering pandemic. Equally if not more important, the average operating time of these projects has been within a few weeks from project confirmation to equipment delivery. Why is this so valuable? Industry sources are reporting lead times stretching out anywhere from 15-25 weeks as shipping lanes and componentry shortages continue to affect commerce globally.
There is an expectation that in the next several weeks all US-based LED manufacturers will be facing significant backorder issues. With supply projected to take 4+ months to receive inventory, the struggle to complete projects is a growing and ever-present challenge.
PixelFLEX is positioned to support its customers with product accessibility and adaptability through its EF Series. Its commitment to serve its customers and their needs will play on and keep the show going when others impacted by industry factors will be impacted.

WPT® Global Events Manager Steve De Santis adds reFLEXion LED video displays to the design experience of the worldwide leader in gaming and poker entertainment
Nashville, TN (12/12/2019) – Broadcasting globally in more than 150 countries and territories, World Poker Tour (WPT) is the premier name in gaming and entertainment and has ignited the worldwide poker industry. As a leader in the innovation of the sport since 2002, WPT also hosts a number of high-profile corporate and VIP events throughout the year. Needing a design element that could accentuate the visual experience at each tournament and event, WPT Global Events Manager Steve De Santis invested in reFLEXion LED video systems from Nashville-based PixelFLEX™.
“WPT features a lot of professional and recreational players we see often who look for comfortability and reliability with tournament structures they trust from people they recognize and know,” began De Santis. “We have a footprint on six continents and our players love the quality and consistency of our events.”
Knowing the level of trust and commitment shown by the players, De Santis wanted to ensure that each event provided the most engaging gaming experience. Having previously relied upon standard graphic displays to help create the ideal environment, he now wanted to heighten the creative potential of the visual displays to match the excitement around each tournament.
“As part of our event presentation and playing environment, we had been using older graphic kiosks for quite some time which really was the impetus for our search,” continued De Santis. “As an innovator in the game of poker, WPT wanted something that was a bit more impactful and most importantly to our tour management personnel, portable. We needed a technology solution easy to transport and able to deliver a unique visual impact.”
A dynamic replacement for traditional static and backlit signage, the reFLEXion LED is a self-contained 2.5mm pitch/resolution video display with a sleek design for easy mobility throughout any space. Its Wi-Fi connectivity allows for convenient networking and content updating to maximize the viewer experience, and it is customizable with multiple base options. The LED display of reFLEXion can be further customized to a specific size with an assortment of color aluminum frame options, plus it can create seamless right angles to wrap around 90 degree corners wherever needed.
“One of WPT’s leaders had actually heard about the reFLEXion LED system before, but initially thought it might be a price concern for us,” added De Santis. “As I took the lead on the project, we sourced about 20 different manufacturers and were really open to trying any solution as long as it was lightweight and portable. What we found was that the reFLEXion was a perfect fit for us, and it was the best solution for both our needs and our budget as we kicked off our 18th season.”
With the technology from PixelFLEX now on hand, De Santis and his team got straight to work putting them to use. Ready to see the difference created by using high-definition LED video displays throughout the tournament floor, the reFLEXion systems took the event design to a completely different level.
“We used the new LED video displays for the first time on a main tour stop in Atlantic City, and we found that the content options are almost limitless,” admitted De Santis. “You can easily layer video, text and still image content on top of each other, and we are very excited to experience its full potential. We are ready for everything that the displays can do and it seems that they can accommodate anything we can imagine.”
While some may be wary of how easy it might be to create dynamic video content for an LED video display, De Santis was also surprised by the simplicity of the reFLEXion operating system. Working within the wireless capabilities of the displays, the event management team at WPT was quickly able to have their new event design ready for its debut.
“Utilizing the software provided by PixelFLEX, we were easily able to plug-and-play with the reFLEXion LED video displays,” explained De Santis. “We had quite a bit of fun seeing what we could design on the fly as we were able to connect to them wirelessly, which was an absolute lifestyle change for us. With its intuitive nature and the simplicity of the software, our event set-up was a lot easier and it allowed us to start using them right out of the box without any issues at all.”
Wanting to also take advantage of the portability capabilities of the new displays, De Santis would have another opportunity for creativity on their first tour stop. With a number of events taking place as part of the tournament, the reFLEXion LED video systems doubled-down on their design potential.
“The mobility of the devices make it so that we can be more creative in our decisions of how to impact not only the tournament, but also our client and corporate events as well,” concluded De Santis. “At the Atlantic City event, we were able to relocate the displays from the casino floor into the Sports Book and upload new content specifically for an exclusive VIP Player party. The ability to take a digital kiosk from one side of a venue to another has never been an option for us, and this opens up a whole new level of creative possibilities.”

Nashville-based Advent designs a unique and interactive visitor experience for the University’s new Athletics Hall of Fame featuring a FLEXUltra LED video system
Nashville, TN (11/14/2019) – Located in the Red McCombs Red Zone at Darrell K. Royal Memorial Stadium, the new Frank Denius Family University of Texas Athletics Hall of Fame recently celebrated its grand opening. As the University’s first-ever sports Hall of Fame, the $17.1 million project tells the story of Texas Athletics from its first team in 1893 to what has become one of the nation’s premier programs. Wanting to uniquely highlight the achievements of their 20 athletic teams, the University worked with the experience creation firm Advent who created an interactive storytelling experience with a design that included a large-format FLEXUltra LED video display from PixelFLEX™.
“While speaking with Chris Del Conte, University of Texas Vice President and Director of Athletics, he explained that the University needed a place where people could experience what it truly means to be a Longhorn,” began John Downie, Advent Vice President of Experience. “The design was really all about finding the stories that most embodied the Longhorns’ culture.”
Diving further into the design aspects desired by the University, Downie and the Advent team wanted to uniquely accentuate the renowned accomplishments of the athletics programs. With numerous National Championships across multiple sports, the University has much to celebrate and Downie wanted to give them the proper attention they deserved.
“We always knew we wanted to create a large scale visual focus point for the National Championship moments,” continued Downie. “As we worked through the various story elements that would inform the narrative, we realized there was an opportunity to leverage visual assets and create video content to bring the stories to life. As we evolved the design, it became clear that we would be able to utilize one of the walls for a large-scale visual moment, so we called PixelFLEX LED.”
Turning their attention to the video installation, the design team wanted to make sure that all of the visual elements worked together in unison. As an interactive visitor experience, it would also be essential to create a technical design that could tell the story of the athletics programs on any given day.
“It’s an interesting space where one wall holds a significant number of National Championship trophies with a kinetic lighting installation as well,” explained Downie. “The installation is unique in that the interactive systems driving the 16’ x 9’ LED video wall are also tied into the lighting control system of the ‘multi-modal’ space. One mode provides modern, bench seating for visitors to dwell and appreciate the AV content on a daily basis, while the other mode enables the large space to accommodate thousands of fans who visit the space specifically on game-day.”
A dynamic and high definition LED display, FLEXUltra allows for boundless opportunities to experience true HD quality video with the creative freedom to define any space. Utilizing the impact and scratch resistant COB PixelShield™ technology, FLEXUltra is designed in a convenient 16:9 ratio and has a 160° horizontal and vertical viewing angle. With fully font-serviceable panels for quick and easy onsite installation and maintenance, FLEXUltra operates with a 3840Hz refresh rate to eliminate on-camera scan lines and flicker, and is available in 0.9mm, 1.2mm, 1.6mm and 1.9mm pixel pitch options.
“Balancing resolution and pixel pitch with client budget is always a key driver of success for us,” added Downie. “For this design, we wanted a great quality image that didn’t blow the available funds, and we also needed a shallow mounting and cabinet option to recess the screen for a more integrated space.”
With two weeks to install and commission the LED video system, the Advent team provided the full-motion HD video content as well. Knowing the power that comes from the use of an eye-catching visual experience, Downie is excited about the creative design possibilities which lie ahead.
“We can now realize seamless large format video displays much more effectively,” concluded Downie. “The simplicity of installation and back-end infrastructure, as well as lower cooling and power requirements, gives us a tremendous opportunity to advocate for high-definition LED video displays where previously it just wouldn’t have been possible.”

Award-winning LED video manufacturer helps create a dynamic and memorable client experience using FLEXThin LED for new residential development in New York City
Nashville, TN (9/3/2019) – With a reputation as a premier luxury home builder, Toll Bothers City Living brings the same level of quality and amenities to the most dynamic urban markets nationwide. Offering contemporary architecture and elegant finishes that accentuate the lifestyle of luxury, the sales professionals behind the scenes often operate in the most competitive residential markets. Needing a client experience that truly separates them from the competition, the team at Toll Brothers City Living recently created an innovative VR experience with the assistance of a FLEXThin 2.6mm LED video solution from PixelFLEX™.
“There is a lot of competition in the urban, residential real estate market, so whenever we design a sales gallery for a new condominium, we strive to implement an ‘X-factor’. Something which makes our presentation a little different, memorable and unique,” said Michael Duff, Marketing Director, Toll Brothers City Living. “At most sales offices in New York City, developers are using iPad technology and large screen LCD TV’s to showcase their renderings and floor plans, so we decided to take this one step further and provide an immersive VR and PixelFLEX LED video experience for our perspective clients.”
FLEXThin is an ultra-thin, lightweight and high-resolution LED video display designed specifically for the installation market. With a 160-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angle which provides increased display coverage, each panel is front-serviceable and comes in two sizes to give your design the desired dimensions. Now available in 1.9mm, 2.6mm, 3.1mm and 3.9mm pixel pitch options, FLEXThin is the ideal solution for an impressive, interior LED video installation.
“At 77 Charlton Street in West Soho, we wanted to create a large viewing area so that everyone in the room could see what the person wearing the VR headset is looking at, and still feel as if they are a taking part in the virtual tour,” continued Duff. “To do this, we decided to implement a high-resolution LED video wall as part of the sales experience to showcase our product offerings. Once we reached out to our integration partners to see who might be available to do this on a larger scale, they got us in touch with the design team at PixelFLEX.”
Ready to begin the creation of their unconventional client experience, the space considerations that come with a Manhattan sales office was a bit of a challenge. Having a specific concept as to how the LED video should fit into the design, it was the performance capabilities of the FLEXThin that gave the custom touch needed.
“In the sales gallery, clients are first greeted by an associate and discuss their residential living needs as they tour the kitchen and bathroom vignettes and view miniature scale models, concluding with the VR and LED video wall,” explained Duff. “The video panels are wall-mounted in a gallery setting, and the full screen measures approximately 10-feet square. One of the great things about working with PixelFLEX is that we weren’t stuck in a 16:9 world. We had a lot of flexibility to implement a custom configuration in order to maximize our viewing area and allow all our clients to have the same experience.”
With the installation complete, the design team turned their attention to the control systems and content management of the innovative sales office. Knowing that simplicity would be key, the entire system is able to be controlled by each sales agent to launch the high-resolution and dynamic property tour.
“The video wall is controlled via the sales agents iPad and the content showcases all of our digital assets – renderings, photos, floor plans and area maps,” added Duff. “We are able to virtually walk clients through the front door, into the lobby, courtyard, lounge area, fitness room, and then also out to the pool with steam and sauna rooms. We also take them up to the rooftop sky lounge, so they can see the New York City view. Inside the residences, we then modeled out six typical floorplans found in the building, giving them a truly memorable tour of the property.”
In many competitive urban markets nationwide, digital signage is being relied upon every day to create a more connected consumer experience. Understanding the value that comes with creating those connections, the sales team at Toll Brothers City Living is excited to now be showcasing their luxury properties with the assistance of a FLEXThin LED video wall.
“In the New York market, there are a lot of opportunities for digital signage such as high-end retail, so we thought it would be a great fit for this application as well,” concluded Duff. “One of the best things about using LED video in this manner is that you have a lot of flexibility in terms of making your screen the right size and scale to fit your needs. With anything VR, people either love it or they’re not into it, but with the high-resolution LED video wall, all of our clients can be guided by the sales agent through an uninterrupted image that creates a unique and dynamic sales experience.”

Los Angeles-based production design firm invests in a new inventory of high-resolution and durable FLEXUltra XT from the Nashville-based LED video manufacturer
Nashville, TN (8/22/2019) – Through a focus on bringing together the right team with the right technology, Los Angeles-based Jargon Entertainment has been setting the highest standards for a dynamic on-camera experience for over 20 years. Having worked on many high-profile film and television productions around the world, their design team is always seeking to implement the most creative technology solutions possible. As the implementation of LED video has begun to increase in their production environments, Jargon Entertainment recently made the decision to invest in a new inventory of durable and high-resolution FLEXUltra XT LED from Nashville-based PixelFLEX™.
“We have been involved with creating production designs for television and movie sets for a while now, but we have always sub-rented the LED video in our projects,” began Lucas Solomon, President, Jargon Entertainment. “Deciding that it was now time to handle this in-house, we did a bit of online research and began contacting potential manufacturers. After speaking with the team at PixelFLEX LED, I felt very comfortable with them and they were extremely helpful throughout the entire process.”
While researching the available LED video solutions and providers, Solomon had a clear focus on the precise technology needed. Knowing that a tight pixel pitch and dependability would be key to the success of their purchase, he was excited to find both with PixelFLEX LED.
“I was looking for a technology with very high-resolution capabilities, somewhere around the 1.8-1.9mm pixel pitch range,” explained Solomon. “Most other manufacturers could only hit the 2.8mm range, but we needed something with a more high-definition output that really looked nice. As PixelFLEX began showing me their FLEXUltra XT technology, they also showed me their new protective coating technology that would provide the added benefit of durability to our LED video screen, and it worked out great.”
With no time to waste, the new Jargon Entertainment inventory of FLEXUltra XT would be immediately put to the test. Shipped directly onsite to Pebble Beach, California, the new technology had to be ready to create a memorable experience for guests of Cisco on the 18th green.
“To start, the FLEXUltra XT LED video was going straight into a very high-profile event we were doing at the 2019 US Open Championship,” added Solomon. “We were hired by Octagon to implement an LED video screen into the Cisco sponsor tent, which would then be used for corporate branding and live streaming content from the network trucks as well. They would be using their Cisco-vision system to push the different content to the wall through a 4K 60Hz signal, and PixelFLEX was very helpful in making sure that everything implemented perfectly.”
Ready to deploy the FLEXUltra XT technology even further, Solomon is confident that its usage will reach into many different aspects of production design. Originally purchased for its television and film capabilities, Jargon Entertainment has already seen its creative potential come to life on set.
“Moving forward, I see us being able to deploy the technology into many more designs for live events, television and film,” admitted Solomon. “On one of the television productions we work on, we recently used it for the background in a balcony set-up, in place of a duratrans or green screen, showing a high-resolution image of Los Angeles that looked beautiful. There are simply so many different things you can do with it.”
