3 DOPE VEGAS PROJECTS USING NATIONWIDE GEAR

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas right? Not quite. These 3 dope Vegas projects using Nationwide gear caught our attention so we wanted to share them!

STAGEVISION ROE – PURE STORAGE

Gear used: ROE GP2.6 LED Tiles, Brompton Tessera SX40 LED Processor

In June of 2024, Stagevision pulled off an exceptional event featuring a stunning rotating LED wall. For us at Nationwide, it was a particularly exciting event because it was the first show that debuted our ROE Graphite GP2.6 LED tiles and Brompton SX40 processing. This was also the first show that our LED technicians supported. A new offering from Nationwide Video, for large LED jobs, we can send our technicians along with the tiles to offer real-time troubleshooting and suggestions to optimize the Nationwide LED experience.

Events of this nature can be heavily dependent on the speaker captivating the crowd, but the word among the audience was that the stage design was also super engaging. The rotating wall also caught the attention of the industry with large amounts of new viewers tuning in to check out the awesome work by Stagevision.
