RT Series Rental LED: Behind the Scenes at a Concert Tour

admin No Comments

When a touring production company loads in 800+ RT Series panels for a stadium tour, every minute matters. Here’s what a typical show day looks like with our rental LED.

06:00 — Truck arrival

Twelve semi-trailers arrive at the venue. The RT Series panels are pre-packed in custom flight cases — 8 panels per case, configured for the show’s specific dimensions. Forklifts unload to the loading dock in 90 minutes.

08:30 — Rigging

The rigging crew hangs the ground-support structure. Each RT panel weighs 7.5kg, with integrated quick-lock rigging that allows one technician to hang a panel in under 30 seconds.

10:00 — Build

Two LED crews work in parallel — left and right screens. The RT Series’ modular design means each section can be configured independently. The full wall goes up in under 4 hours.

14:00 — Patch and test

Video crew patches the screen, runs color calibration, and tests backup paths. The RT Series has redundant power and signal paths, so a single failure doesn’t take down the wall.

16:00 — Rehearsal

Content loaded onto the media server. Cameras positioned, focus pulled, lighting programmed. Any final adjustments made.

20:00 — Showtime

Doors open. 50,000 fans see a wall of LED that was in a truck 14 hours ago. The RT Series runs flawlessly through a 2.5-hour show, 4,500 nits cutting through stage lighting, refresh rate of 3,840Hz keeping the IMAG cameras happy.

23:00 — Strike

Show ends. Strike begins. By 04:00, the trucks are loaded and heading to the next city.

The RT Series is engineered for this exact workflow. See specifications and rental pricing.
