The Acclaim 2.5 Series by Absen was used in the construction of a giant, suspended and curved direct view LED (dvLED) video wall for the First Americans Museum (FAM) in Oklahoma. FAM invites visitors to experience and learn American history through the lens and collective stories of 39 Tribal Nations in the state.

Absen’s Acclaim 2.5 Series is a 2.5mm pixel pitch dvLED solution that provides full HD/4K image quality, true 16:9 aspect ratio, easy serviceability, and high brightness for indoor dvLED video wall applications. The slim design sits less than 10cm to the wall when mounted, and the size of the panels made it a flexible choice for the creativity and complexity of the 190.68″ radius curved dvLED video wall FAM installation.

IT design consultancy Waystone LLC was tasked with designing a video wall solution that was not only technically feasible but also pushed boundaries in terms of creativity. Waystone LLC hired AV specialist, Ford Audio-Video Systems, LLC (Ford AV), to manage the AV portion of the project from start to finish. The design consultancy worked in cooperation with the team at Absen and was based on initial drawings for 192 Acclaim Series panels in a 6-degree concave design. Peerless-AV was contracted to design a custom fabricated mounting system that could accommodate the curvature of the wall and support the total video wall weight of 4,200 lbs.

Peerless-AV was also selected based on its flexibility, cost-effectiveness, innovative engineering capabilities and customer service — all aspects of SEAMLESS, Peerless-AV’s dvLED Video Wall Integration Program. The program ensures the entire SEAMLESS dvLED Solutions Team is available every step of the way. Thus, the company says it guarantees every customer receives quality product support and service. The Peerless-AV SEAMLESS Bespoke dvLED mounting system, custom designed specifically for this project, offers compatibility and exclusive support for the 192 Absen Acclaim 2.5mm dvLED panels.

Additionally, a custom trim kit accessory from Peerless-AV was added around the sides of the video wall to give it that immaculate, finished appearance and meet the visual expectations of the museum’s visitors.
