INFiLED Launches NX Series for Stage Productions

Published

on

By

SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — INFiLED, launched the NX Series in early October, a heavy-duty rental LED solution for stage productions. Developed for live events, touring productions, outdoor festivals and temporary indoor or outdoor installations, NX Series is designed for projects where LED systems must hold large structures, shift between stage forms and keep onsite work moving under tight schedules.

Recent INFiLED rental projects place the release in a real production context. Shenzhen Happy Valley‘s outdoor summer festival stage showed the scale of a layered five-screen rental layout, while UMK2026‘s live stage production reflected the precision required for large-format screens and overhead LED elements. Together, they point to stage environments where larger visual surfaces, dimensional design and tighter onsite schedules now converge.

NX is introduced for this kind of stage work, where creative direction and technical execution need to stay aligned from load-in to show time. The platform brings structural capacity, multi-form configuration, rental-ready protection, faster service and stable visual performance into the same system.

Larger Stages Ask More of the System

Large stage displays now do more than fill a background. They shape the scene, define depth and often become part of the performance architecture. Before content appears on screen, the LED structure has already passed through transport, lifting, alignment, rehearsal and operation.

NX is specified for stacking and hanging up to 20 m, with optional wind-resistant braces and locks for demanding sites. That capacity matters for large suspended or stacked LED structures, especially in outdoor environments where structural planning carries the whole production.

The cabinet design follows the same logic. A dual-layer magnesium cabinet keeps panels lighter in handling while retaining the rigidity needed for alignment, with cabinet weights of 6.8 kg and 10.9 kg across its two cabinet options. Top quick locks and bottom alignment pins support faster connection and more consistent geometry as the screen grows.

Creative Forms Need Repeatable Mechanics

Stage design rarely stays within a flat rectangle. Productions move between curves, staggered layers, stepped contours, wraparound corners and compact scenic structures. In rental work, those forms need to return accurately across different venues, crews and schedules.

NX supports flat displays, curved layouts, staggered and stepped surfaces, and heart-shaped creative forms. With NX Edge, the system forms 90° curved transitions for wraparound content. In selected configurations, NX also works with MC Series for right-angle and cube structures, and with Xmk3 Series for larger curved forms.

For precision curves, NX offers a –10° to +15° range in 2.5° steps. The degree-based adjustment gives designers room to shape the stage while giving technicians a clear mechanical reference during installation and repeat use.

Onsite Workflow Shapes the Final Image

A strong stage image depends on work the audience never sees. Load-in, locking, alignment, cabling, service and rehearsal all influence whether the screen stays on schedule and performs cleanly when the show begins.

NX addresses those pressure points through several rental-focused details:

Top quick locks and bottom alignment pins support faster assembly and consistent screen geometry.The unified integrated PDU centralizes power and signal distribution, reducing cabling complexity across the system.Optional clip-on masks for outdoor configurations reduce disassembly steps during onsite service.Outdoor versions feature full encapsulation and IP65-rated protection for exposed environments.

Visual performance remains part of the same production path. Outdoor stages need brightness that stays clear in stronger ambient light, so NX reaches up to 5,000 nits outdoors. A 7,680 Hz refresh rate supports smoother motion and camera capture, while 16-bit grayscale and a 10,000:1 contrast ratio preserve tonal control, depth and clarity for stage content.

NX Series expands INFiLED’s rental LED portfolio with a heavier-duty option for stage production applications where scale, form and timing carry equal weight. For INFiLED, whose work spans rental, fixed-installation and commercial display environments, the release adds another layer to its engineering focus – LED systems shaped around the conditions of real projects, not only around the appearance of the screen.

For stage teams, that focus matters most when the technology fades into the work. The structure holds, the workflow keeps moving and the image reaches the audience as intended.

UOB Asset Management Highlights Opportunities Amid Shifting Global Policy Landscape

Published

By

SINGAPORE, Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — UOB Asset Management (UOBAM) has released its 4Q 2026 Quarterly Investment Strategy, highlighting how evolving monetary policy, resilient economic fundamentals and structural growth trends continue to create opportunities for investors despite an uncertain global backdrop.

As financial markets navigate a period of heightened policy uncertainty, the global economy has remained broadly resilient. Economic activity across major regions has continued to expand, corporate earnings have remained supportive, and investments in transformational technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) continue to underpin long-term growth prospects.

While investors continue to contend with geopolitical developments, trade policy changes and questions surrounding the outlook for interest rates, UOBAM believes that market volatility should be viewed as an opportunity for disciplined investors to position for attractive long-term returns.

On interest rates, UOBAM does not expect an aggressive rate hiking cycle or bond yields to continue surging higher as many of the factors driving price pressures are showing signs of moderation.

Within equities, UOBAM remains positive, with a preference for the US and Asia. The US continues to offer a compelling combination of earnings growth, innovation and market depth. Asia, meanwhile, offers attractive long-term fundamentals, supported by stronger economic growth, compelling valuations and leadership positions in industries such as semiconductors, memory, alternative energy and electric vehicles.

Anthony Raza, Head of UOBAM Multi-Asset Strategy, said, “The key story for investors is that the global economy has stayed strong despite a constant stream of headwinds. It is hard to find a period in history when global corporate earnings growth has been as strong as it is today, especially this far into an economic expansion. However, the economic cycle is showing classic late-cycle signs. Ultimately, while today’s late-cycle signals warrant monitoring, we believe it remains too early to step away from a growth-oriented investment strategy.”

In its asset allocation strategy, UOBAM remains overweight equities and underweight fixed income. The firm continues to retain a positive outlook on commodities and views gold as an important source of portfolio diversification.
