Lighthouse Technologies Wins Prestigious IBC Exhibition Design Award

HONG KONG, Sept. 20 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Lighthouse Technologies has received a Highly Commended Award for Exhibition Stand Design at IBC 2005, held in Amsterdam's Rai Centre at the beginning of September.

The award was given for a successful combination of powerful visual impact, combined with a user-friendly yet creative configuration that allowed visitors free access around the stand.

The design featured Lighthouse's flagship ultra high resolution R6 6mm pixel pitch screen in a 2.88 x 5.12m format, the super quiet R10 10mm pixel pitch screen hung in three vertical strips and the new portable, self- contained PopVision based on the 6mm pixel pitch screen, as well as sister company OptiLED's Linear Optical Array flow above the R10 screens.

"The highly creative nature of our product really lends itself to a visually impactful stand," comments Lighthouse managing director Mark Chan, "And being modular, it is possible to configure our screens in a variety of ways. We wanted our stand design to reflect this and demonstrate the true versatility of LED to our existing and potential customers alike.

"From the feedback of both the broadcast professionals and media solutions consultants attending the show, who all commented on the R6's fine resolution and excellent reproduction of images, we have achieved our aim. We are very proud to have the efforts of those who came up with the concept, and the technical staff who realised it, recognized in this way."

Lighthouse products continued to create a buzz on the trade show circuit with PopVision in particular garnering a great deal of interest at London's PLASA show on the XL Video stand, whilst R16i/o could be seen on the Upper Deck with screen rental company The Picture Works.

In addition to the IBC award, it has been nominated for Manufacturer of the Year in the AV Awards, organised by Haymarket Publishing's AV Magazine, and was considered as the Best-in-Show at this year's Infocomm with its R6 LED screen.
