When clients ask for “something they’ve never seen before,” our team doesn’t just deliver pixels — we deliver motion. Last month we rented, rigged, and programmed our flagship kinetic LED system — 1.9 mm pixel pitch — into Pacifico Yokohama’s National Convention Hall for one of the most ambitious brand-launch events in Japan. From the moment the first panel left our truck until the final curtain call, it was pure adrenaline.
Our P1.9 panels are already ridiculous on paper: 1.9 mm pixel pitch means you can stand two meters away and still read fine text or see every detail content. Brightness sits comfortably at 800 nits indoors with perfect color uniformity. But the real magic is the kinetic part. Each cabinet is mounted on independent motorized actuators controlled via DMX. We can program the entire wall to breathe, wave, tilt, rotate, or morph into three-dimensional sculptures in real time. The result? A living visual surface that reacts to music, presenters, and even audience movement. For this event, the creative team wanted the screen to literally “explode” into a 3D product reveal — and our system did it without a single glitch.
Pacifico Yokohama’s National Convention Hall
Massive fly grid. 30-meter-high ceilings. And that iconic curved architecture that makes every production feel epic. The client had booked the booth for a multi-day international convention — think 4,000+ global experts, live performances, and keynotes. The booth was installed right at the entrance of the convention, and they wanted the LED wall to dominate the view for everyone accessing the venue. No pressure. We arrived with our truck with 20 flight cases: 18 cases for the 1.9 panels and kinetic hardware, two cases for the cables, and rigging. Yokohama’s port location made customs and trucking a breeze compared to some Tokyo venues we’ve worked in.
What I Learned (Again) as the Screen Owner
- Fine pitch + kinetic movement is addictive. Once clients see P1.9 in motion, they never want to go back to 3.9 or 2.5. The detail holds even when panels are moving and angled.
- Pacifico’s infrastructure is installer-friendly. The renovated hall gave us clean power, easy truss access, and backstage space that actually fit our containers. Big respect to the venue crew.
- Team + local partners win every time. Having Japanese and English staff who know turned what could have been a stressful load-in into a smooth, almost enjoyable installation.
- Content is king. The kinetic hardware is impressive, but the real hero was the creative team’s motion-graphics package synced perfectly to our DMX timeline. Shot-out to Matias for his outstanding work.
