LED screens provide backdrop for Brit Awards
21 Feb 2006
Gorillaz at The Brits
For the fourth consecutive year, XL Video were the video screen suppliers for The Brit Awards, providing a high-resolution Barco iLite 6 XP LED screen measuring 15 metres wide by 7 metres high for the 2006 event.

It’s the first time that The Brits, an annual UK music awards ceremony, has used high definition (HD), a move prompted by the performance by Gorillaz, which specified a high-resolution screen of 2048 x 1024 pixels.

The screen split into three sections that tracked horizontally across stage (via a Kinesys Vector automation system) and into different positions and configurations to provide a variety of different looks for the 10 live artists performing, who also included Coldplay, Kanye West, KT Tunstall and Prince.

XL also provided two 16:9 aspect ratio Sony 15 mm pitch IMAG side screens, each measuring 7 x 4 metres.
