- 3 video screens, each 8 meters wide x 14 meters high
- LED wall with 4.6mm Black Face SMD

Band Metallica at their only gig in Germany
The new AR4.6 Black Face product from LED manufacturer INFiLED was used for the stage show. Its integrated Black Face SMD technology generates very high contrast. Compared to other LED systems with standard SMDs, this module delivers excellent image quality, especially in daylight and sunlight, ensuring that all festivalgoers enjoyed their experience. The video wall even withstood the rain in Hockenheim, as it can be used both indoors and outdoors.
A core team of five technicians integrated all system elements into the opern-air stage within a few hours. The reinforced base frame of the modules, as well as improved holding magnets an positioning pins, ensured safe and fast assembly. “It was a challenge for us and our team to find a suitable technical solution for this highlight at short notice – but with AR Black Face we succeeded – and since this system can be transported both in cases and in a dolly system, we were able to reduce the transport volume of the 336 square meters to an entire truck, “says Daniel Teufel, Technical Director at Screen Visions.

We absolutely wanted to do justice to Metallica´s only show in Germany this year, so we opted for the new system. The LED wall with the 4.6mm Black Face SMD is currently the best system for touring and corporate events.
