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.”

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.”

Experiential design specialists install a new, high-definition FLEXUltra LED with PixelShield video system inside the Washington D.C. headquarters of a worldwide technology leader

Nashville, TN (5/7/2019) – Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, Hyperquake is dedicated to creating and producing client experiences that uncover a unique story. From permanent installations to live events, their team of talented Storybuilders® are empowered to build an engaging environment that inspires people to act. When approached by a worldwide technology leader to create the story of the Internet for their Washington D.C. headquarters, the experiential design specialists worked with the integration firm Whitlock and Nashville-based PixelFLEX™ to install a visual work of art using FLEXUltra LED video with impact-resistant PixelShield.

“The client desired to pair a visually striking digital installation with compelling content that demystified and revealed the physical nature of internet infrastructure,” began David Berninger, Project Manager, Hyperquake. “Since this piece would be a digital sculpture as opposed to a simple video display, we needed a high-definition solution that was visually seamless, versatile, and cost-effective; which would allow our client to demonstrate the importance of an investment in innovation to deliver the future.”

Getting started on the design of the installation, Berninger was familiar with the possibilities offered from a PixelFLEX LED video system. Replacing an outdated LCD monitor wall, he was confident that a FLEXUltra solution would allow them to better tell the story necessary through a unique and engaging visual experience.

“We had previously collaborated with PixelFLEX on another custom installation that was a great success and we wanted to continue that rhythm,” continued Berninger. “Since LED video offers so much more flexibility than traditional displays, we were able to open up many more doors to explore the idea, and it allowed our vision for the design to be viable and executable.”

A dynamic and high definition LED display, FLEXUltra from PixelFLEX LED 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 for long-lasting performance, 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.

“The structure is a custom fabricated piece consisting of five wood and metal frames that are cleated to the installation surface,” added Berninger. “Using a robust media server, which is tied into a Crestron system for on-demand control, the dynamic content was then created to be shuffled around as necessary and still flow together seamlessly.”

Now complete, the new digital sculpture entitled “This is the Internet” has been creating quite a stir inside the lobby of the Washington D.C. corporate headquarters. Drawing on the power and performance which can only be found through an HD LED video system, the story of the world wide web is being told like never before. 

“The new design is a great addition to the facility, and we have been busy expanding the capabilities of the installation further as everyone wants their own custom content for it,” concluded Berninger. “On this project, we were on a tight timeline, but PixelFLEX LED was able to deliver which was critical to the success. They are great collaborators for a creative agency, and they are very solution-minded when it comes to creating unique digital experiences.”

Nashville, TN 3/13/19 – Created to overcome the challenges associated with the protection and performance longevity of ultra fine pixel pitch LED displays, the award-winning LED video manufacturer PixelFLEX™ is excited to introduce the new FLEXUltra with PixelShield™. A true COB technology, PixelShield offers an industry-leading impact and scratch resistant coating for your FLEXUltra display and provides a dramatic increase in the protection of your high-definition LED video experience.

With our new PixelShield protective technology, we are not only preventing the fragile nature of these displays, but we are ultimately enhancing the longevity of the ultra fine pixel pitch display market as well.”

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.

Fravert Services creates a free-flowing FLEXUltra LED video display for the new Collat School of Business and Bill L. Harbert Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Nashville, TN (3/7/2019) – With the opening of a $37.5 million state-of-the-art facility, the University of Alabama at Birmingham recently unveiled the new home of the Collat School of Business and the Bill L. Harbert Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Designed by Williams Blackstock Architects of Birmingham and Robert A.M. Stern Architects of New York City, the 108,000-square foot educational center was created to provide a modern and innovative learning environment. Wanting an eye-catching display that would acknowledge all those you helped make the new facility possible, the University worked with the visual design specialists at Fravert Services who installed a free-flowing FLEXUltra LED video design from Nashville-based PixelFLEX™.

“Initially, we were brought onto the project through the general contractor, and we began with a visioning session to best understand what type of environment the University wanted to create,” began Drew Fravert, Project Manager, Fravert Services. “Since they had been in their old facility for quite some time, they really wanted the new building to serve as a testament of success to their business and entrepreneurship programs. Additionally, they wanted to recognize the donors who funded the construction in a unique way, so we created a completely custom LED video design using a series of FLEXUltra LED video tiles.”

A dynamic, high definition and curve-able LED display, the FLEXUltra allows boundless opportunities to create an unforgettable video experience with each frame manufactured specifically for the installation. Utilizing the ideal tile size for deployment of both 16:9 and 4:3 video ratios, FLEXUltra has a 160° horizontal and vertical viewing angle which offers one of the highest off-axis viewing angles in the industry, and the fully front-serviceable panels allow for quick and easy onsite installation and maintenance. With a 3869Hz refresh rate, FLEXUltra panels are available in 1.2mm, 1.6mm and 1.9mm pixel pitch options.

“When we started the design process of how to incorporate the digital display into the lobby, we went through the standard rectangular concepts, but it just wasn’t representative of the innovative nature of the school,” continued Fravert. “Knowing that LED video gave us the ability to be more creative, we started toying with the idea of using the individual PixelFLEX modules to create something truly interesting. Since this would not only serve as the donor wall, but also a recruiting tool for perspective students and faculty, the custom nature of the design would allow us to best demonstrate where the University is headed, and what it means to be a student at the school.”

As Fravert Services began to lay out the conceptual design for the custom video display, it not only needed to be unique, but it had to be functional as well. Drawing upon the idea of the student’s journey through the educational process, they were able to design a free-flowing, yet practical digital experience.

“Within the custom display, we still needed to provide the University with a space to show traditional 16×9 video, so we also needed to create a center screen as well,” added Fravert. “We started playing with the concept of students entering as individual freshmen, and then graduating as a part of something larger than themselves. If you look at the display from the right to left, as you enter the building, it flows from a fragmented display with individual tiles, into a more traditional design where there are more tiles grouped together. This gives the University the ability to showcase both custom content and their traditional video elements as well.”

Ready to begin the installation of the LED video design, Fravert understood that there would need to be a good line of communication between all parties involved. In a new construction application with custom features and design requirements, the team was able to successfully work together to create a truly unique lobby atmosphere.”

“Since we wanted to physically integrate the display into the building itself, we had to have a lot of coordination between the architects, general contractor and electricians so that the FLEXUltra tiles could be flush with the wall,” explained Fravert. “The wall itself is a sort of ‘false-wall’ with a five-inch gap behind it where all of the electrical conduits and data connections run back to a central server that powers everything. The University is then using an Adobe After Effects template to drop-in different video elements or custom graphics which create a dynamic and exciting digital experience from the moment you enter the building.”

Now open, the new home of the Collat School of Business and the Bill L. Harbert Institute is quickly enhancing the learning experience for the next generation of business leaders at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Knowing the effect that technology can have on an educational or any environment, it is the custom design abilities of LED video that Fravert believes holds its greatest value.

“The application of LED video in any design gives you a lot of flexibility with whatever type of information or graphics you are trying to show to your audience,” concluded Fravert. “For us, we are trying to design more experiential displays, and the PixelFLEX technology simply gives us the freedom to be more creative, which is something we truly value.”
