Deployed on thousands of hours of productions across Europe, the United States, and a wider global market, its technology has been used in concert tours for artists like Rosalia and Beyonce and major broadcasts such as the Eurovision Song Contest, allowing these productions to build, communicate, refine, and execute live broadcast and events that impress.
