As event organizers for the 2015 Miss Florida and Miss Teen Florida pageant
prepared to host the annual competition, Trenton Dick was asked to help give the
show a fresh look. Since the pageant had been using the same set pieces over
previous competitions, Dick suggested the introduction of an HD LED video wall.
With everyone on board, Dick turned to Nashville-based PixelFLEX and decided to
bring the FLEXCurtain HD video wall into the Mahaffey Theater.
“The full production takes place over a full week with the preliminary rounds, the
Miss Teen Florida competition, and then the final competition for Miss Florida,’
began Dick. “In the previous competitions, we had used scenery backdrops, but this
year we wanted to update the set for a fresh look. As we talked to the event
organizers about using an LED wall, they gave us the green light to move forward
and so we chose the PixelFLEX FLEXCurtain HD.’
With a myriad of LED video walls available on the market, Dick had been
researching the various options for some time. While in the process of deciding
which products to use, he took a visit to the PixelFLEX headquarters and found the
ideal solution for the Miss Florida Pageant.
“I had been looking at the PixelFLEX products for a number of years as my church is
in the process of updating their cameras to HD video and we needed an HD video
wall to complement,’ explained Dick. “So earlier this year, I went to the PixelFLEX
home office to speak with Jon Lewis about how we could use their products in my
church, and in the process we started talking about how we could also use them for
the Miss Florida Pageant as well. In discussing what we needed, we decided that the
FLEXCurtain HD video wall would be the best product for this application and it
worked great.’
The PixelFLEX FLEXCurtain HD is a flexible LED wall that offers a variety of
advantages over the competition. FLEXCurtain HD panels are ultralight, offer
extremely crisp and sharp video and image playback, and 500-square feet can be
setup and broken down in under 15- minutes using the convenient quick-lock
system.
With the HD video wall now in place, it was time to start loading the content which
would give the 2015 Miss Florida Pageant a completely new look and audience
experience.
When the final votes were counted, Mary Katherine Fechtel was crowned Miss
Florida 2015, and as they watched the pageant draw to a close, both Dick and the
event organizers were confident that they had made the right decision in choosing
the FLEXCurtain HD from PixelFLEX.
