ISE 2010 to feature 100+ new exhibitors
ISE 2009 drew nearly 25,000 attendees and well over 500 exhibitors to Amsterdam on 2-4 February. Both numbers were a record for what is now Europe’s undisputed no.1 show for professional AV and electronic systems integration. ISE 2010 is set to continue the trend with another industry-defining event, packed with new product innovations, informative education sessions, and new business opportunities. Use this website to find out more about our 2010 show, and keep checking back for regular updates as the event draws nearer!
Pro-audio is just one business sector to provide a notable influx of new exhibitors. L-Acoustics, HK Audio, Sonus, Ateïs, Out Board/TiMax, Baldwin Boxall, Seeburg, Cloud Electronics and XTA/MC2 Audio are among those set to exhibit at ISE for the first time in 2010.
The growing profile of digital signage will be reflected by the creation of a second dedicated area, while automated lighting will also register an increased presence, with Martin Professional among the notable first-time ISE exhibitors.
Integrated Systems Events MD Mike Blackman commented: “No trade show can thrive without bringing new customers and new markets to its exhibitors. Right from its first showing in Geneva in 2004, this is something ISE has proved it can do. AV manufacturers are turning to ISE as a platform from which to launch their products and services into new and emerging sectors, and that is one reason why we are hosting so many new exhibitors in Amsterdam in February.”
ISE 2010 is also looking strong in terms of projected attendance. “Our pre-registration levels are already running ahead of expectations, confirming that this is the show to attend if you are looking for new opportunities in 2010,” concluded Blackman.

You don’t need to work for the secret service or as a jet fighter pilot to appreciate the sheer convenience – and craftiness – of being able to grab hold of crucial information, without so much as lifting a finger or batting an eyelid. Students at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany are developing a pair of interactive data eyeglasses that can project an image onto the retina from an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) micro-display, making the image appear as if it’s a meter in front of the wearer. While similar headwear only throws up a static image, the students are working on eye-tracking technology that allows wearers, with just the movement of the eyeball, to scroll through information or move elements about.
While similar headwear – sometimes referred to as head-mounted displays (HMDs) – only throws up a static image, the students are working on eye-tracking technology that allows wearers, with just the movement of the eyeball, to scroll through information or move elements about.
The glasses are designed to provide information to wearers who don’t have their hands free to operate a keyboard or mouse.
Dr Michael Scholles, business unit manager at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS) in Dresden, believes these devices have a ready-made application in the medical field where they could be used to quickly project vital patient information or medical imaging to doctors during a consultation or surgery.
Scholles also sees applications in the construction industry where the glasses could be used to project drawings or installation instructions.
As the image needs to outshine the ambient light to be seen clearly against changing and highly contrasting backgrounds, OLEDs have been used to produce a high-luminance micro-display.
While existing data glasses only display information, the German students are hoping to make the micro-display technology bi-directional and interactive, which will open up new uses, says Scholles. The eye-tracking device the students are working on - which is fitted to the hinge of the glasses - will enable users to influence the content projected by simply moving their eyes or fixing on certain points in the image.
New content can be displayed and menus can be scrolled through or picture elements shifted. According to Scholles, they have concentrated on making the glasses inexpensive as well as small and light – the system’s eye tracker and image reproduction integrated into the CMOS chip measure 19.3mm by 17mm.

E/T/C are specialists in high power projection both in slide and video format and provide support with image creation and programming.
With the PIGI and Onlyview systems E/T/C have been projecting on site during world class events such as the Asian Games, the Olympics and the Queen’s Golden Jubilee at Buckingham Palace.
ETC has been specialising in producing stunning, large format projections onto buildings, interesting spaces and structures since 1994. These images can be produced using either slide projection, video projection or a mix of the two.
ETC’s work has been seen around the world. We have supplied image projection solutions for a range of different clients from state occasions through theatre, rock and roll and corporate clients. A sample of the events that we have worked on would include the Doha Asian Games, The Edinburgh Military Tattoo, London’s Official New Years Eve events, The Queens Golden Jubilee, Ford, Liverpool Culture Company, Renault, the BBC and the MTV Europe Awards
There is literally no size barrier to the images we can produce. We keep adding projectors until we have achieved the size you require. For the Sultan of Oman, we created an image 400m wide by 200m tall onto a mountain. However we are just as at home creating a one or two projector backdrop to a Rock show, or a three or for projector Son et Lumière onto a stately home.
Video First for London
New Year’s Eve Projections
Video was used for the first time to project giant images onto the 353 ft high Shell Building on the South Bank of the River Thames for the Mayor of London’s 2008-09 New Year’s Eve celebrations.
E/T/C London created a projection concept and suggested that they harness the flexibility and power of video for the first time on this event, on which E/T/C has worked for producers Jack Morton Worldwide for the last 5 years. With LG Electronics coming onboard as a new sponsor, they really wanted to up the production values, making the show something extra special and more spectacular this year.
Says E/T/C’s Ross Ashton, “It was another milestone in giant video projection for E/T/C London, and probably the UK’s largest New Year video installation to date as well as a great opportunity for us to move the company forward.”
E/T/C’s Richard Porter designed the technical installation, which utilised 24 Christie S+20K projectors, all rigged vertically, and run in 12 overlaid pairs. These covered a 12 zone grid – 3 wide and 4 high – measuring 55 metres wide by 110 tall on the river facing fascia of the building.
At 2888 x 5184 pixels, this offered far higher resolution than HD.
The projectors were positioned 150 metres away from the Shell Tower in a 12 metre tall purpose built structure, together with a complex E/T/C OnlyView® control system that was set up in an adjacent cabin, and operated by Richard Porter for the show.
The 30 minute looped show was programmed by Porter, assisted by Karen Monid, onto 18 OnlyView® media servers. Sixteen servers were used for visuals, while two ran a bespoke soundtrack including sponsors messages which were then broadcast to the public via a Delta Sound PA system.
Ross Ashton collaborated closely with Jack Morton’s Kate MacKay on the creation of the artwork.
The image files involved were massive, and the handling of this aspect alone required E/T/C London’s detailed expertise. BBH created the LG branding and a series of celebrity ‘talking heads’ with New Year greetings, featuring the Mayor of London Boris Johnson, Dame Helen Mirren and others.
Another challenge was the installation of a preview monitor system, set up to show the client detailed and accurate show visualizations during the set up and programming period. E/T/C’s Paul Highfield came up with a very cost-effective video wall solution for this, using Dexion racking and bit of ingenuity!
The get-in commenced on the 27th December, with E/T/C engineers Robin Darraux, Patrice Lefevre and Glenn Jenkins. Jack Morton’s project manager was Jim Donald.
Projections kicked off at 8p.m. on New Year’s Eve as up to 400,000 revellers gathered in central London to await the rollover moment into 2009. A cool countdown clock comprising a burning fuse that snaked around the building as the minute-to-midnight moment approached was visualized by Ashton and produced in After Effects by Porter.
