Proshow Audiovisual is pleased to have taken January delivery of six Barco UDM-4K22 21,000 lumen DLP projectors, bringing its total quantity of these units to 12, in addition to its complement of 12 Barco HDX-W20 Flex 20,000 lumens projectors.

Supported by Barco’s Canadian distributor SC Media, Proshow continues to invest in industry-leading technology – the UDM series projectors are high-brightness, large format units capable of displaying 4K signals that utilize a laser phosphor light engine, eliminating costly and environmentally unfriendly xenon lamp housings that are common in legacy high-brightness projectors. Additionally, the UDM units allow Proshow to continue to leverage and expand its extensive inventory of Barco TLD+ lenses.

Says Proshow’s CEO Matt Hussack – “By adopting Barco’s latest laser technology, we continue the modernization of our fleet. Barco’s proven innovation and reliability align perfectly with Proshow’s core philosophies”.

CAVPA at GOWEST - CAVPA was present and visible at the annual event professionals’ conference. CAVPA was asked to contribute to a 30 minute panel discussion on the main stage, whose audience was event planners (with most early in their career). We explained the concept of right to choose and how to negotiate bringing in your own AV provider (while promoting CAVPA members).

We also ran through negotiating terms of internet, rigging, auxiliary rooms, early access, electrical connections, the importance of reading the fine print, and where to find more information to help guide event professionals (cavpa.ca).

We also networked, promoted the work of CAVPA, and encouraged new companies to join. It was a great success in increasing the profile of independent AV providers in Canada and served as a launching point for future visibility initiatives.
