Frequently Asked Question
The standard build is about 9 ft 10 in wide by 5 ft 6 in tall — true 1920×1080. It is made of 27-inch cabinets, so the shape is flexible: taller at 9 ft 10 in by 7 ft 8 in, or wider at 13 ft 9 in by 5 ft 6 in. We own 35 cabinets, and that is the ceiling.
A dedicated circuit near where the wall will stand. The usual problem is not capacity, it is sharing — a screen on the same circuit as the kitchen, the band's amps or a coffee urn is where trouble starts. Most people do not know their venue's power off the top of their head, which is completely normal. We work it out with you, and it is often quicker for us to ring the venue directly.
A two-person build runs 90 minutes to two and a half hours, plus time to calibrate and test your content. We would rather be in early and finished well before your doors open than rushing. Stairs, a long carry or a tight dock add time, so tell us in advance rather than on the day.
Anything with an HDMI output. A laptop running slides or a photo montage is the most common. Live camera feeds work, so do video playback, a DJ's visuals and presentation clickers. We run a content test before doors so nothing is discovered live. If you are not sure what size or format your files should be, do not solve it before you call — that is one of the things we sort out with you.
Yes, and that is the main reason to use LED rather than a projector. A projected image washes out in a lit ballroom, so the room gets dimmed and the event goes with it. This is a lit-room display — nobody has to turn the lights down to see it.
Your date, the venue and room, roughly how many people, and whether it is indoors. That is enough for a real number rather than a range. Anything you do not know yet is fine — most people do not know their power situation or their exact content, and neither is a reason to wait.
A week at minimum. The wall lives mounted, so before an event it comes down off its structure, gets packed, transported, then rebuilt and calibrated on site. The 90 minutes people hear about is the build on the day, not the whole operation — and we confirm your venue's power before committing. Inside a week we would be setting you up to fail, so we will say no rather than risk your event.
No, and we will not be talked into it. This is a fine-pitch indoor display: moisture, direct sun and temperature swings damage it, and a tent is not weather protection. Taking an outdoor booking would mean either a damaged wall or a cancelled event. If you need outdoor, there are companies here in Tampa with the right gear and we will point you at them.
$1,000,000 general and professional liability, plus inland marine cover on the equipment itself. Most venues want a certificate naming them as additional insured — send us the venue's exact legal name and address and we can usually turn it round the same day.
We run out of Tampa and cover roughly 150 miles — St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakeland, Brandon, Orlando and Ocala. Travel inside 100 miles is included in the day rate. Beyond that we quote it on the call, so it is never a surprise on the invoice.
