Herbert Groenemeyer blew away his fans with elaborate video installations on his tour "Schiffsverkehr". To ensure everything was picture perfect, XL Video GmbH used DVS technology. Powerful disk recorders from the Pronto family played out the high-resolution videos.
Hanover/Oststeinbek. Impressive video installations formed the highlight of Herbert Groenemeyer's tour "Schiffsverkehr" (Shipping Traffic) which ended in late June 2011 in Konstanz, Germany. XL Video GmbH, a company that has been counting on DVS's Pronto disk recorders for many years now, was responsible for designing the video walls and projecting the videos.
Seven songs were accompanied with videos during the concert. XL Video GmbH skillfully combined its know-how with reliable Pronto disk recorders to project the videos. This meant XL Video only needed one player to play out the high-resolution content on the five external LED screens - all without scaling it. This guaranteed the best-possible picture quality even with large-screen projections. At the same time, the solution proved to be extremely cost-effective.
DVS's Pronto family is one of the world's leading disk recorders for uncompressed, high-resolution presentation content. Robustness, reliability as well as the ability to synchronize them set the DVS systems apart.
"We have been using DVS systems for many years now at important events around the globe. The Pronto family really impressed us particularly in terms of its versatility. We needed a player to use on the Groenemeyer tour that could play out uncompressed TIFF sequences without scaling them. The Pronto family allows content to be played out pixel-perfect even on unusual-format LED screens," explains Christian Heinzel, Technical Project Manager at XL Video GmbH.
Michael Bauer, Sales Director Region DACH at DVS: "We're always pleased to see what incredibly impressive projects XL Video GmbH is realizing with our products - the variety ranges from concerts to international trade fairs and exhibitions. In this regard we have the same aim: to impress the audience with high-resolution content in the best-possible quality."
