AC-ET on tour

It was great to see many familiar faces, and to meet new people from the world of entertainment tech, at both ISE in Barcelona and BSC in London in February.

Across the two events we showcased some of the latest tech from Chroma-Q, Tourflex Cabling, PROLIGHTS, Luminex, Manfrotto and LumenRadio.

Next we travelled to Sweden for the Monitor Roadshow on March 3 and met the next generation of tech professionals at Production Futures in London on March 4.

PROLIGHTS and Luminex introduce new products
