Big AV Projects such as Olympics

Big AV projects are massive undertakings. Recently the KIA Center issued large RFP.  Last night we got a walkthru of the Intuit Dome for the Clippers. Lighted seats! We were installing Gloshine into our digital signage LED list (we work with Sophia Wu) and noticed some of their clients.  Seems like a good idea to take a look at these big LED installations.

We want to thank Sophia for bringing this up so we’ll start with Gloshine and outline what a major provider credentials look like.
