SACO delivers innovative see-through LED video screens for the U2 iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE tour 2015

MONTREAL, June 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --



SACO Technologies Inc. is proud to be a part of U2's iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE tour,
currently on its first leg in North America, with a 4 day stop in Montreal, Canada
mid-June 2015.



The show is a visual masterpiece from the great mind of renowned show designer Willie
Williams, and to bring the vision to life, SACO joined forces with touring giant
PRG-NOCTURNE to deliver two 96ft wide x 22.5ft tall see-through LED video screens. Each
screen is comprised of 240 individual SACO V-Thru LED video panels, for a total of 480
panels. The V-Thru LED System, yet another innovation from SACO, is designed to be
lightweight and semi transparent allowing the artist to become part of the video screen
and interact with its content.



No stranger to technology, U2's Bono addressed the audience at the SAP Arena in San
Jose, CA immediately after performing Even Better Than the Real Thing from inside the
V-Thru LED Video Screens "What do you think?... We're not afraid of tech. We like
innovation." he proclaimed.



Fred Jalbout, Chairman and CEO of SACO Technologies Inc. commented "U2 is a special
client for us as they were the first to carry our groundbreaking LED Video screen back in
1997. As a company we always strive to keep our technology in constant evolution and we
are very pleased to have been selected by PRG-NOCTURNE to realize U2's artistic vision for
this tour".



Having collaborated with U2 and Willie Williams in the past, SACO designed the first
ever LED video screen for their successful POP MART tour in 1997 and set a Guinness World
Record for size at 50ft tall by 150ft wide.



Jonathan Labbee, Executive Vice President & CMO of SACO Technologies Inc. commented
"SACO has always been a visionary company and we are very blessed to have a client base
that is willing to push the boundaries, it gives us an outlet to bring new ideas to life."



With corporate offices worldwide our team boasts over 20 years of experience. SACO has
become the technological leader and preferred brand in both indoor and outdoor LED Solid
State Lighting and Media Solutions.
