Absen is following a similar broad strategy in the US as it has done in Europe and has been building up its organisation with mainly local staff running the operation. The company showed its latest 1.5mm technology in 27″ cabinets at NAB and ISE and at this show was also highlighting the M series in 2.9mm pitch.
For rental and staging the XV series can be used indoors or outdoors and the range has been extended down in pitch to 2, 3 and 5mm. It is weatherproof to IP65 and uses Novastar processing. The cabinet design allows fixed +-5 deg easy adjustment, but also supports ‘unlimited’ concave configurations.

For internal fixed installations, the N Series was being shown.
Absen told us that it has already got a 1,000 panel order from Nationwide Video in the US for XV3 products. A lot of work has been done on re-developing a full channel programme and new service support and this came in from 1st June. There are a range of different levels of partner programmes available, now.
