Absen Collaborates With Peerless-AV

Absen has collaborated with AV technology pioneer Peerless-AV® for a dvLED Roadshow, in partnership with 7thSense and NovaStar, touring across Europe this September.

Taking place at Midwich Group country locations and Absen regional showrooms, the roadshow will incorporate specialist training and hands-on practical sessions on all the elements of a dvLED video wall installation, from mounting structures to display specifications to content control and image configuration. The objective, in one day, is to educate and equip dealers, system integrators and consultants with all the tools and skills necessary to install a fully operational dvLED video wall system, with ease.

Starting in the UK at Absen's new regional showroom, located in Theale, Berkshire, the roadshow will continue to the Northwest of England, before moving to Absen's German showroom in Frankfurt, then travelling to France, and concluding in the Benelux region. At each location within these territories, the dvLED training session will run from 10am to 4pm, with breaks. There will be one hour of expert technical sessions with each partner, highlighting why each technology aspect is equally as important as the other for a successful outcome.

Over the course of the day, a dvLED video wall will be built, step-by-step, in its entirety. Attendees will receive an out-of-the box experience, from identifying and overcoming site limitations to constructing the mounting system, installing and levelling the display cabinets, power and data mapping, aligning and perfecting pixels, image control and processing, content creation and distribution, post install servicing and much more.

"Attendees will have the chance to get hands on, learning as they go and getting to grips with all the intricacies that make up a finished, content playing dvLED video wall installation," said Keith Dutch, Managing Director – EMEA, Peerless-AV. "What we do well is working with our partners on specialist events that fill a gap in the market, and with this Roadshow we’re doing just that. There’s a desire from the industry to demystify dvLED and break it down into the various parts in a simple way. For some, dvLED integration is seen as a dark art. It may not be as simple as installing with LCD but, with the right education, research, technology, skillset, tools and expert support, the whole process can be quick and straightforward, saving considerable time and costs in the long term."

"As a valued partner of Peerless-AV and a world-leading dvLED brand, we're delighted to support their regional efforts and valuable investment for dvLED training and installation," said Darren Banks, Director of Global Business Development for Absen. "The state-of-the-art regional Absen showrooms in Theale, UK and Frankfurt, Germany boast the company’s comprehensive range of dvLED solutions, providing an innovative and inspirational environment for this unmissable hands-on opportunity."

Its team of highly skilled technicians will guide Roadshow attendees through the installation, configuration and maintenance of Absen LED products, first-hand, from the inside out, as well as troubleshooting and LED control.
