Leading global LED manufacturer Absen announced the launch of a new 
super-lightweight touring solution for rental stagers on the opening day of ISE 
(11-14 February 2020). 

The Venus (VN) Series is an innovative LED display that has been specifically 
designed for concerts and festivals due to its ability to create super-sized 
screens at speed. The product features a highly unique integrated 
'module-on-frame' design. By removing the sub-frame (cabinet frame), Venus is 
27% lighter than competing solutions. In fact, at 27.5 kg/sqm, it is the 
lightest integrated touring display solution on the market, allowing creative 
teams to cut back on weight, save cost and build even bigger LED walls than 
before – up to 20 metres in height.

The VN Series has also been designed to save crews precious time. In an 
industry where there is increasing pressure put on rental stagers for set up 
times, Venus makes it far quicker to install thanks to its big cabinet size 
(1500 x 1000) and fast locking system. It is also easier to maintain and 
upgrade as the modules can be swiftly switched out without the need to take 
apart the frame structure.  

The VN Series will be available in two standard sizes: 1,500mm (W) x 1,000mm 
(H) and 500mm x 1,000mm, in order to allow for fully customised options. It 
will be available in 3.9mm, 4.8mm and 8.3mm pixel pitch versions, boasting up 
to 5000 nits brightness. The VN Series also allows for concave and convex 
curving options for highly creative video wall designs; with horizontal 
free-adjustable variances of -10 to +10 degrees, allowing fixed positioning at 
-10 degrees, -5 degrees, 0 degrees, +5 degrees and +10 degrees.

All Venus LED panels are fitted with carbon fibre pipes with special anti-slip 
coatings to ensure the safety of climbers, with additional safety hooks so 
riggers can secure themselves at every step of the building process. The VN's 
easy locking system with big-sized handles are simple to use even with thick 
gloves on, with colour-coded lock/unlock markers and vertical auto-lock for an 
improved user experience. The product can be easily hung, stacked and 
transported, thanks to a 5-in-1 dolly system. Wind bracing is also available 
and can withstand gale force winds of up to level 8.
