Harting connects large-scale 360 LED screen
Harting
Vibration-proof mated connector
Harting has provided a connectivity solution for a transformable 360 LED screen used on a concert tour for the rock band U2.
The LED screen, developed by Barco, surrounds the band while they are performing, and can change shape in all directions during concerts.
It measures 24m x 16m and incorporates more than 500,000 pixels.
Harting's was required to provide a rugged and vibration-proof mated connector solution that could be mounted to the surface of the moving displays.
The system transfers the latest HD (high definition) TV pictures networked over an Ethernet link.
Harting non-reflective black Han hoods and surface-mounted housings from the company's heavy-duty industrial connector range were chosen so that they would be inconspicuous to the audience.
Han-Modular Quintax inserts were used to provide EMC-shielded video transfer.
Harting also built the custom cable assemblies, providing the end installer with the complete solution from one source.
The Harting surface-mounted housings are fitted on the rear of the moving expandable mechanical frames that retain the LED modules.
