BARCO, a global provider of visualization and display solutions, announces the recent deployment of its ILite 6BK LED backdrop for the Miss Asia Pageant 2009. The event, whose grand final competition took place on 1 November 2009 in Hong Kong, was produced by Asia Television in cooperation with Barco rental partner, AV Promotions Limited Corporation (AVP).

The ILite LED tiles were all provided by AVP and deployed in a complex configuration to help illuminate the event in a grand, exciting manner. AVP worked closely with the Asia Television design team and production crews to configure the visual display stage backdrop in a relatively short period of time. What's more, as is standard with all Barco rental partners, along with the visual solutions, AVP also provided the full range of professional technical support 24/7 throughout the event to insure its flawless execution. The team effort paid off, as the show was a resounding success, and Miss Xu Ying, from the Chinese Mainland, walked off with the crown as Miss Asia 2009.

The true black Barco ILite 6BK LED tile backdrop operated flawlessly. Its 22x12 format backdrop consisted of two moveable parts. Fifty-three square meters in size, it utilized 264 Barco true black ILite 6BK tiles. The ILite 6 BK is a 6mm, black LED display based on the established ILite technology that has become the industry standard in the rental and staging marketplace. It offers a slim, sleek design that allows for the build up of displays in nearly any shape and size. To realize multiple image affects throughout the evening, image processing was driven by Barco's Encore System, the most advanced video processing and presentation controller on the market today.
