- Service route
- Strip swap from the spares case
The challenge
The production needed a large backdrop that could travel between venues, hang from existing truss and stay readable behind performers.
Why this format
The curtain was selected for weight, packing volume and repeatable rigging across venues.
- Pixel pitch
- P37.5
- Transparency
- 63%
- Brightness
- 1,800 nits
- IP rating
- IP65
The approach
- Selected the strip build with fast locks and a defined spare strip set.
- Rolled and labelled strips, cables and spares by show section for repeat load-in.
- Aligned content contrast and transparency so the band remained visible through the curtain.
Result
The curtain rolls into cases and follows the same rig sequence at each venue. Damaged strips can be swapped without re-planning the rig.
Integration plan
The physical interface between the screen, the building and the service route decides how the installation performs after handover.
- Curtain strips rig from standard truss with fast locks.
- Cables and spares labelled by show section.
- Processor presets saved for each venue.
Content and operation
A screen is only as useful as its daily routine. Content rhythm, brightness and spare parts are agreed before the first playlist goes live.
- Load-in follows the same strip sequence at each venue.
- Damaged strips swap from the spares case.
- Content contrast tuned so performers stay visible through the curtain.
What this study shows
Touring success depends on labelling and spares as much as the strips.
Transparency keeps the performer visible.
A repeatable rig plan shortens load-in.
Installation notes
The mounting and service route were agreed before the screen layout was fixed.
XLC Curtain Series specifications- Hang from standard truss or a top rail; panels connect with fast locks without tools
- Curve the strips into arcs, circles or waves before final tensioning
- Use the waterproof head and tail connectors for outdoor positions
- Label strips and driver sections by show or facade zone
