DB Systems Help Cessna Reach New Heights

UK-based Audio Visual specialists, DB Systems (DB) recently helped Lea International create a unique exhibition feature at EBACE2008 for their client, Cessna, the manufacturers of business jets and single engine aircraft.

DB was called in to help with a technically challenging AV design. The aspect of the design that needed DB’s expertise was an innovative horizontal, single array of 38 LCD screens on a convex curved wall to show a montage of video footage and stills that DB Systems edited from existing footage.

DB’s solution involved sourcing 19” screens with the narrowest possible bezel to allow for a minimal (7mm) gap between screens across the curve. This was vital, as both Lea International & DB wanted to have footage and scrolling text running as smoothly and seamlessly as possible across all 38 screens.

DB used a Dataton Watchout™ system, which allowed the footage to run from one end of the screen display to the other, and not just across pairs of screens. This, coupled with the large seamless plasma screens and the co-ordinated lighting, really helped with the overall impact of the exhibit.

The show went extremely well for Cessna and DB’s clients were thrilled with the results. Lea International said: “DB Systems were great and helped us from the earliest phases of the project, right through to the onsite delivery. They even assisted with some metalwork during the build! They are a great team and it was a pleasure to work with them all.”
