“The fact that many of our large and loyal users are reinvesting in ILite6XP tiles proves that the product remains the standard in the industry for “work-horse” indoor displays” states Bart Van Der Beken, International Sales Director (Events) of Barco’s Media and Entertainment division. “We are also extremely happy with the response to MiTRIX, which is now spread across the whole of Europe and is being used in a variety of applications from auto shows to TV shows and concert tours. Moreover, the FLM range of projectors is recognized as one of the most reliable projectors on the market. It is a true replacement for the well-known ELM series of projectors.”
