NICK ROBINSON, SCREEN RENTALS DIRECTOR
In what promises to be another record year for ADI, we also celebrate our 25th anniversary. Having been with the business for 20 years it’s fantastic to see what has been achieved; the range of famous events, global brands and federations we serve, the talented pool of employees we work with and the industry leading innovation that continues to excite and impress those around us. The way in which LED screens are used has changed over the years ADI have been in business; still in its infancy when we began to incorporate this transformative technology into stadia and outdoor events, its applications are vast and have seen it become an incredibly versatile medium for every kind of venue and live experience. In this issue of Images you can read how it’s been integrated into public art pieces, famous sports venues and prestigious occasions. Our continued evolution and improvement has seen valued long term customers continue to recommit the future of their world-class events to us. It’s a huge vote of confidence for clients to go through industry wide due diligence only to return to ADI. We work exceptionally hard to ensure there is no complacency with our market leading position, constantly inventing and investing to improve and expand our service for customers new and old. ADI have had a relationship with clients like Jockey Club Racing and Ascot for over ten years yet both exhaustively research the LED rental market at the end of every contract. This year JCR have committed to a further seven years with ADI and Ascot another five. These contract periods show the confidence customers have in our service, not just in 2016 but for the future, a confidence that is based on precedent from our previous delivery and knowledge that whatever the future of the industry holds, ADI are likely to be driving the changes. At ADI we are not afraid to challenge the status quo and push for solutions that are different, bigger and better. In 2016 that approach has seen the Screen Rentals team launch the Epoch 15 and iCONIC 120SW, both world-firsts and game-changing in the market. These clever, dynamic products are helping our clients serve the ever-evolving expectations of their audiences and partners, offering second-screen solutions, more immersive event experiences and new commercial opportunities. Thanks to the creation of new products the iCONIC fleet is now over 40 screens strong – making it by far the largest range in Europe. Extensive re-screening in 2016 also means it’s the newest too – with over 80% of the fleet less than two years old. The team and I look forward to continuing to safely deliver our exciting products to customers new and old. 25 years is a great milestone, but we look forward to what the future holds for our innovative brand.

CUSTOM CONTENT
Built-in light and sound sensors re-act to passing footfall, with the public encouraged to walk around and between the sculptures, delivering an ever-evolving and immersive experience
ADI’s pioneering Live Venue software connects The Beacons’ CMS to a central portal, allowing interactive content to be distributed to the individual totems.
ALL IN THE DETAIL
BESPOKE INSTALLATION
With a brief to create something playful, engaging and interactive, LED technology delivered on every level. Different modes of moving imagery are displayed across the 7 metre high totems, making it possible to instantly change the mood and ambience in St Peter’s Square.
Digital content flows smoothly across the entire sculpture thanks to a unique chamfered design. Devised in-house, the three faces of each totem feature a completely seamless edge, which is complimented by contemporary cladding at top and bottom.
026
IMAGES MAGAZINE
Integrated sensors and software not only react to people in close proximity to the totems but changing weather conditions, triggering a vast array of artistic, ambient visuals alongside specially shot footage, including members of the community and even local celebrities and sports stars.
With a small site set in a busy public space, the installation demanded vigorous planning and project management from ADI’s team. Following extensive groundworks that integrated formwork, piling and electrical cable installation the totems were lifted into place as complete structures. Since all seven totems house a control rack of CMS equipment and cabling, ADI’s 10mm front-fix product was specially selected for the project as it allows all LED maintenance and repairs to be done externally.
