A picture every seat can read. LED, projection and live camera work, sized to the room and switched in real time.
Video fails quietly: a screen slightly too small, content built for the wrong shape, a presenter washed out by ambient light. We start from the worst seat in the house and size backward, choosing LED or projection by what the room, the content and the budget actually demand.
For live programs we add cameras and IMAG, so the keynote face fills the wall, and a switcher operator cutting the show in real time. Screens, signal and playback are one engineered system run by the same production crew handling your light and sound, so the whole show takes one cue.
How We Build the Picture
Screen size, viewing distance, ambient light and content format get decided together, weeks before the show, never on the morning of.
We build and run the video, the LED walls, projection and live camera that carry the room. The tables, chairs, linens and furniture beneath it come from Standard Event Rentals, our sister company, rooted with us in the same Bay Area and the same family.

LED wins in bright rooms and daylight, holds saturated color, and scales to almost any shape. Projection can be more economical for large surfaces in rooms where the lights can come down, and it travels lighter. The honest answer depends on your room, content and budget, and we will tell you plainly which one your event actually needs.
Screen area is the big one: LED is priced largely by the square foot. After that, camera count for IMAG, switching and playback complexity, signal runs, rigging versus ground support, and the crew hours to build, run and strike. A single screen with slides is a modest line item; a multi-camera switched show is a production.
IMAG, image magnification, is live camera feeds of your presenters on the big screen. Past roughly a few hundred seats, faces vanish and audiences disengage, so for keynotes, galas with a program, and award shows it earns its cost. For a reception with looping content, you can skip it.
Built to the actual pixel dimensions of your screen, which we give you as a template as soon as the screen is specced. We test every file, slides, videos, sponsor loops, before show day, and we will flag anything that won't hold up at size.
LED walls need dedicated power and either flown rigging points or ground-supported structure rated for the load; projection needs less of both. These are venue questions as much as gear questions, which is why we confirm power, points and floor capacity on the site walk before anything is promised.
The date, the venue, the audience size, and what the screens must do: slides, live cameras, sponsor content, a show open. With the run of show in hand, a producer replies within one business day with a system and a number.
