Vidicon LLC, in association with Nocturne Productions, purchases 740 Square Feet of state-of-the-art BARCO LED video walls for high-profile concert tours
BARCO, the world leader in large screen video and graphics display technology, announced that it has sold 740 Square Feet of its Daylight Display LED video walls to Vidicon LLC, in association with Nocturne Productions, a world-renowned industry leader in providing live event production. Nocturne Productions provides cutting edge technology and the most experienced, creative people in the business. High-profile entertainers in the music industry rely on Nocturne Productions again and again for superior live event production including The Beastie Boys, Elton John, Paul McCartney, U2, The Eagles, Madonna, Tina Turner, Gloria Estefan , KISS, Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey and Bon Jovi to name a few.

Nocturne has orchestrated worldwide concert tours, extraordinary music video shoots, and even the astonishing AT&T Olympic Global Village at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, GA.
“BARCO has the best LED product on the market. I have worked with the LED technology since its inception and I have never seen a video wall with features that the BARCO product has. BARCO has the smoothest and most uniform picture I’ve ever seen,” said Michael Pentz, Production Engineer for Nocturne Productions, who toured with Bon Jovi in Europe. “We set up the majority of our shows outdoors and sometimes in driving rain storms. I have never seen a video wall hold up against the elements like the BARCO. I doubt anyone will ever catch up to the technology only BARCO provides.”
Bob Brigham, COO of Nocturne Productions conducted extensive research on LED technology and, after seeing all of the products in the industry, made the decision to purchase the BARCO DLite 7 LED-technology video walls. “BARCO was the only choice for us. After looking at the other LED manufacturers and comparing the various video walls, we decided the BARCO is the best LED product on the market. We needed a product that could offer the artists and the fans the best and brightest picture,” said Brigham. “We also needed a product that could operate in harsh weather conditions. There is not another LED product on the market that compares to the BARCO DLite 7. It was an easy decision.”
Curt Petty, Market Business Manager for BARCO’s Daylight Display Systems Division, stated, “Nocturne Productions is one of the biggest names in live event production and carries a reputation of superior quality and service to the corporate and music industry. The BARCO DLite 7 video walls will provide outstanding close-ups and high-resolution video during live performances. The fans and artists alike are going to be thrilled with the images they see on this state-of-the-art technology.”
