The basics

IMAG puts the stage on the screen, live

IMAG is the live video of your speaker, performer, or stage, magnified onto an LED wall in real time. At a concert it is the close-up of the artist. At a conference it is the speaker the back rows could never otherwise see. It turns a distant stage into something every seat can follow.

When you need it

Bigger rooms and crowds

If your audience is large or the room is deep, IMAG is what keeps the back rows engaged. For an intimate room it may be optional, but for sanctuaries, ballrooms, festival fields, and stadiums it is often essential. See our corporate event and concert and festival pages.

What it takes

Cameras, processing, and an operator

IMAG needs one or more cameras, a video processor or switcher to route the feeds, cabling, and an operator to run the shots and switch sources cleanly. We bring the gear and the crew so the live feed looks professional, not like a home video.
