International. Absen has won the award for Best Technology for Entertainment and Live Events with its Polaris range of rental products. The InAVation Awards, which took place on the first night of ISE on February 5, 2019 at the iconic Gashouder venue in Amsterdam, recognize the best technologies, projects and people from across the global audiovisual industry.
Absen's Polaris LED series, which was first launched at ISE 2018, is packed with the latest innovations to meet the physical and visual demands of the entertainment and live events community.
It offers ultra-high brightness and contrast levels, while ultra-wide viewing angles, superior color, and HDR (high dynamic range) support perfect display performance. Mechanical advances, including automatic locking, automatic ejection and quick shift curve systems simplify and accelerate the installation and operation process, while technical advances such as HBB (High Brightness Black) common cathode technology offer a superior experience for end users.
Developed specifically to meet the demands of live event rental applications, Polaris has quickly become the product of choice for many of the world's leading rental companies. The new series covers 10 models ranging from 2.5 to 6.9 mm pixel to suit all rental needs. The series is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
"We are delighted to have won the Award for Best Entertainment/Live Events Technology," said Alex Couzins, Absen's European Chief Marketing Officer. "Absen has invested a great deal of time, effort and money to develop the Polaris range, which has been very well received by our rental and view customers in worldwide distribution with almost 10,000 square meters of Polaris LEDs produced to date. This award is a testament to the hard work everyone has put in and we look forward to welcoming more partners in 2019."
