1)      ISE 2006 prepares to light up the Brussels Skyline

Only few days and the Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) will open it doors (01. – 03. February 2006) at Brussels Expo. Europe’s largest trade show for AV Systems Integrators will start off in spectacular style with a powerful demonstration of massive LED Video Screens, which will literally take over the impressive frontage of the huge Brussels Expo Centre. Visitors expecting to see sights and sounds will not be disappointed. As Mike Blackman, Managing Director of ISE 2006 explains, the event is set to stimulate all human senses in a 3-day event that will excite, inspire and thrill. “People who come to trade shows are looking beyond just seeing a series of products. Our exhibitors and sponsors have pushed the boundaries of showcasing systems integration solutions into a new era of dazzling shows and eye-catching displays. Without giving too much away, no one who arrives at the Brussels Expo will fail to miss the gigantic LED Outdoor Park that we have set up with our partners. Huge LED Video Screens will welcome visitors and set the scene for what will be the most exciting showcase of AV Solutions yet seen in Europe.” And there is more to see once inside. The Residential Solutions Area will be showcasing the latest in Residential Control Systems and Home Theatre technologies. Countries and continents including the USA, UK and Asia will be hosting their own pavilions. Within the ISE Theatre, there will be Manufacturers Forums allowing visitors to break off from the exhibition to hear the latest innovations and industry trends from the exhibiting suppliers.

7)      Projecta: “Concealed-in-the-ceiling”

The Advantage electrol and Advantage Deluxe electrol are two “concealed-in-the-ceiling” electric screens designed with the installer in mind. Both new screens meet the demands of business rooms, educational institutions, hospitality venues, and home theatre applications in the case where the elegance and simplicity of these electric screens are desired. Installers will appreciate the possibility to install the fabric and roller assembly after the case (ensuring the screen fabric remains un-damaged during case installation). A second feature is the adjustable roller mounting brackets, which simplify fabric installation. The flange around the case makes installation simple because it provides trim for the screen: you no longer have to “trim out” after the screen is installed. With Projecta’s adjustable ceiling mounting brackets, it is simple to install the screen into various ceiling structures.The tools to install fabric and roller are included with both screens. Both screens provide a clean look and easy installation of ceiling tiles. Advantage Deluxe electrol: Concealed-in-the-ceiling electric screen with handsome white powder coated closure doors and case. Advantage electrol: Concealed-in-the-ceiling electric screen with handsome finished white aluminium case.  With the installer in mind, both Advantage screens offer these features: Patented “in-the-roller motor mounting system” for quiet operation. Preset adjustable limit switches to automatically stop the screen at the desired viewing level. High-quality Matte White projection screen fabric is for a flat-hanging screen with optimum image quality. Matte White screen fabric produces clearer, true-to-life colors. Black border is for increasing the perceived clarity of projected image. ISE: Stand C 35
