OBAMA-RAMA
Performance Video Systems took its place in history along with the rest of the nation’s capital this year for the historic inauguration of Barack Obama, the first African-American President of the United States.
A bipartisan dinner was held in honor of Senator McCain at the Hilton Washington the day prior to the inauguration, for which PVS provided 16:9 camera coverage, projection, and 42” to 65” plasmas displays. Within a ten-hour turn around time, surveillance support was made available for the U.S. Secret Service during the official youth ball at the same location. PVS worked closely with MTV’s Be The Change: Live From the Inaugural to set up vivid, high-quality visual displays throughout the lounge and around the dance floor featuring guest artists Kanye West, Kid Rock, and Fall Out Boy, among others, for the 3,500+ guests attending that evenings festivities. It truly was a night not soon to be forgotten. The actual swearing in of President Obama was captured on our own professional-grade Red camera.
