The stage is 8.83m long and 5m deep

We have 2 x 46sqm mobile screen units, both with stage and lighting systems. One screen has 4 x Mac25 lights, 6 x 2000watt stage lights aimed at the crowd and 40 x 50watt dichroic spots inn the stage roof.

the other screen has 40 x 50watt dichroic spots. Both screens have star cloth backdrops but you can use your own branded backdrop if you prefer.

It’s a basic lighting package designed to create ambience on stage,. There’s no additional rigging space, so if you do want to add your own lighting, you need to provide rigging to do so.

Yes. You’ll need to bring in a staging company to do this (we recommend Tega or Star Events)

Height from the ground to stage floow is 1.44m on level ground, but this can change if the screen is on a slope, so you need to bring in a stage extension with adjustable legs.

Yes, once the screen is in position.

If you need the trailer to be taken off site, we would ask that secure parking is provided.

Yes. Basically, anything you would plug in to the back of your TV at home can be plugged in to the screen. The only thing you need to bear in mind is the viewing distance of the screen.

SDI or composite feed.

When the screen is in position, it can be operational within 10 minutes. The stage takes around 1-2 hours to set up.

If you’re using a camera crew, we’ll need extra time to run cables, or set up a wireless link. We’d normally advise being on site around 2 hours before the start of an event.

The screens have a blow over speed of 70mph, but for Health & Safety reasons, we would take the screen down if the gusts reached over 30mph (wind load calculations are available and we have an Anemometer on board).

Rain doesn’t affect the screen, so we would never recommend cancelling an event due to heave rain. If you choose to cancel an event due to bad weather that would not affect the screen, cancellation terms would apply.

Yes. Ideal position is to have the sun behind the screen, but it can be seen in bright light.

10m or more.

No. At the moment, there’s no such thing as a HD outdoor LED screen.

When comparing outdoor screens, the most important aspects to bear in mind are the pixel pitch and screen manufacturer. Our 46sqm LED screens are Mitsubishi OD100 (with 10mm pixel pitch), which are the highest quality screens available in the UK.

16 sqm LED Screen

2000-5000 people (would need a louder PA system for this size audience)

33 sqm LED Screen

10,000 people

46 sqm LED Screen

10,000 to 15,000 people

Yes. Our 46sqm screens have a 100kva generator, with 3 phase, c-form, 125amp.

The 16sqm screens have a 30kva generator with 3phase, 62amp.

The 33sqm screens have a generator with 3phase in and out 125amp.

We’d recommend using at least 2 cameras for any live event as this enables to you cut between cameras, giving you smoother transitions between close up shots and wide angles etc.

3 cameras is usually best for a live music event with one camera on stage and two front of house cameras – one for close ups and shots of audience and one with wide shots.

We can provide wireless links to operate cameras wirelessly if cabling is an issue. Wireless links require line of sight between the transmitter (attached to the camera) and the receiver (cabled to the screen truck).

We can also provide a booster for 1 wireless link if there are issues with line of sight, or if you want the camera to be a long distance from the screen.

Yes. We can record what’s being shown on screen, either on to the hard drive of the edit suite or onto DVD.

Alternatively, we can use the camera footage and create a promo for you following the event.

Our 46sqm units have an 8 channel mixer with 8 monitors. The 33sqm has a NewTec Tricaster 855 and the 16sqm screen has an 8 channel mixer with 4 monitors.

All edit suites also have laptops and DVD players.

We have an audio mixer in the edit suite available for basic sound. With it, we can mix 4 mics and a backing track. For anything above this, you’d need a front of house mixing desk.

The specifications of the sound system can be found here. We can also provide monitor speakers for the stage.

We are also happy for you to bring in a local sound company to provide additional sound, or we can provide a sound engineer and equipment at an additional cost.

If your event is in a field, or grassy area, yes we would advise you use tracking to avoid the legs sinking in to the ground and getting stuck.

Companies we’ve worked in the past that might be able to help are Eve Trackway and TRAC.

Depending on the screen content (for example a predominantly white image would use more power than a predominantly black image), on average the screen could run for 3 x 12 hour days before the generator needs to be refuelled.

Our 16sqm screen has a banner frame across the top of the screen. The 33sqm screen has banner frames across the top and at either side of the screen.

The 46sqm units have a headerboard across the top of the stage where you can put a banner.

Stages have a standard star cloth backdrop but you can use your own branded background if you prefer, or use the starcloth backdrop and put your own branded backdrop on the hydraulic mast frame, in front of the starcloth. You own artwork could also be attached to the stage skirt.

Logos and crawling text can be displayed on screen throughout your event, or advertising frames/footage can be played at intervals throughout an event.
