ESTA/USITT Desert TECH Days

NEW YORK — As award ceremonies go, the Golden Goggle Awards may not have the visibility of, say, the Oscars. But that didn’t keep Dodd Technologies, Inc. (DTI) from helping USA Swimming keep a clear, sharp view on the top swimming talent in the country. For the third consecutive year, DTI helped support the awards program with production services that included multi-screen projection, IMAG, graphics, lighting, audio, staging, scenic, production management, and tech support services.

TORRANCE, CA — LEDtronics, Inc, founded 25 years ago by Pervaiz and Almas Lodhie, celebrated the milestone at the company’s headquarters with executives, staff and local dignitaries present.

NEWARK, NJ — With at least 80 shows scheduled for her first tour in eight years, Tina Turner is proving that she still has legs. But at age 67, the only thing doing a split is the video screen backdrop. LD Baz Halpin hides 80 Clay Paky Alpha Beam 300 fixtures behind the motion-controlled video wall, which separates into a total of eight sections, allowing the Alpha Beams to shine through.
