Question 1

What AV equipment does Aria AV rent for events and trade shows?

Accepted Answer

Aria AV rents a complete range of audio visual equipment for trade shows, conferences, corporate events, and hybrid events. The inventory covers seven AV categories: conference AV (projectors up to 10,000 lumens, confidence monitors, podium microphones, and room sound systems), hybrid event AV (PTZ cameras, vMix production workstations, and live streaming encoders), trade show booth AV (LED video walls at P1.5 to P6, large-format monitors, and booth sound systems), live streaming equipment (broadcast cameras, capture cards, hardware encoders), event lighting (RGB LED uplights, moving heads, gobo projection, stage wash), digital kiosks (32-inch to 58-inch enclosed touch kiosks and Transparent OLED units), and wireless microphones (Shure handheld, lavalier, headset, and panel gooseneck systems). All equipment is delivered, installed, and supported by on-site AV technicians.

Question 2

What projector lumen output does Aria AV stock for conference general sessions?

Accepted Answer

Aria AV stocks projectors from 5,000 to 10,000 lumens for conference general sessions. The Panasonic PT-RZ970 dual solid-state laser DLP projector at 10,000 lumens is the flagship general session unit — correct for large ballrooms with screens wider than 16 feet and overhead lighting that cannot be fully dimmed. The Epson L630SU laser 3LCD at 6,000 lumens covers mid-size ballrooms with screens up to 14 feet. The Panasonic PT-VZ580U at 5,000 lumens and Epson 2250U at 5,000 lumens are the standard breakout room specifications. Lumen requirements depend on screen size and ambient light level in the room — specify your room dimensions and ceiling lighting when requesting the quote.

Question 3

What is a hybrid event and what AV equipment does it require?

Accepted Answer

A hybrid event treats in-person and remote attendees as equal participants — remote attendees can ask questions, vote in polls, and interact with the event programme in real time, not just watch passively. The AV equipment required for a hybrid event covers five layers: PTZ or broadcast cameras to capture the physical stage for remote viewers; a vMix production workstation to mix camera feeds, slides, and lower-third graphics into a broadcast-quality output; a live streaming encoder to push the production feed to the virtual platform (Zoom Webinar, Microsoft Teams Live Events, YouTube Live, Vimeo, ON24, or any RTMP destination); a confidence monitor at the stage front showing the presenter the remote audience view; and clean audio routing feeding the room microphones into the stream without echo or feedback. Aria AV provides all five layers as an integrated hybrid AV package with a dedicated on-site technician.

Question 4

What wireless microphone systems does Aria AV rent for conferences?

Accepted Answer

Aria AV rents Shure professional wireless microphone systems for conferences and events. Available configurations include handheld wireless microphones for Q&A sessions, lavalier (lapel) wireless microphones for keynote presenters requiring hands-free operation, headset microphones for active or high-movement presenters, panel table gooseneck microphones for seated panellists at discussion tables, and boundary microphones for advisory board and roundtable meeting formats. All Shure wireless systems are RF frequency-coordinated for the venue before delivery — Aria AV scans the venue radio frequency environment and assigns each system to a clear, non-conflicting channel, eliminating the wireless interference and dropout problems common at busy convention centres.

Question 5

What LED video wall specifications does Aria AV stock for trade show booths?

Accepted Answer

Aria AV stocks indoor LED video wall panels from P1.5 to P6 pixel pitch for trade show booth applications. The Aluvision 1.9mm and 2.5mm panels, BeMatrix LEDskin 2.5mm and 3.1mm panels, and Infield X 2.9mm curvable panels are available for indoor booth backdrops. For pixel pitch selection: P2.5 to P3.1 is correct for viewing distances of 6 to 10 feet (counter-adjacent booth displays), P2.9 to P3.9 for 10 to 15 feet (island booth backdrop), and P4 to P6 for viewing distances beyond 15 feet where lower-cost panels provide acceptable image quality. Outdoor-rated LED panels at P2.9 to P6 are available for outdoor event applications. Provide your booth dimensions and show dates when requesting the quote for a specific pixel pitch recommendation.

Question 6

What event lighting equipment does Aria AV rent?

Accepted Answer

Aria AV rents a complete event lighting inventory for trade shows, conferences, and gala events. RGB LED uplights provide colour-matched ambient lighting throughout a booth or event space — programmed to your brand colours. Stage wash fixtures illuminate the front-of-stage area with even, flat light for presenter visibility on camera. Intelligent moving head fixtures create dynamic lighting effects for awards ceremonies, product launches, and entertainment events. Followspot units provide a focused moving beam following a presenter or performer across the stage. Gobo projection fixtures project custom patterns — logos, geometric shapes, or texture patterns — onto walls, floors, ceilings, or the stage surface. All lighting equipment is operated by Aria AV lighting technicians who programme fixtures, set cues, and run the lighting console during the event.

Question 7

Can Aria AV provide AV for a hybrid or virtual event on any streaming platform?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Aria AV hybrid event AV packages support all major virtual and hybrid event platforms via RTMP stream output from the vMix workstation or hardware encoder. Supported platforms include Zoom Webinar, Microsoft Teams Live Events, YouTube Live, Vimeo Live, ON24, Hopin, Cvent Virtual Events, Intrado, Facebook Live, LinkedIn Live, and any platform accepting a standard RTMP stream URL and key. The vMix workstation is pre-configured with your platform stream destination, stream key, and encoder settings — at the correct bitrate and resolution for your specific platform — before delivery. The stream is tested end-to-end before the event opens.

Question 8

Does Aria AV provide on-site AV technicians for events?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Aria AV equipment rental includes on-site AV technician support during the event. Technicians handle equipment setup, content testing, and system calibration before the event opens, and remain on-site to manage audio levels, camera switching, lighting cues, stream health monitoring, and any real-time troubleshooting during the event. For large multi-room conferences, Aria AV assigns dedicated technicians per room and a project manager overseeing the full deployment. For hybrid events, a dedicated hybrid AV technician manages the camera production and stream independently from the room AV operator. 24/7 technical support is available for the duration of the event.

Question 9

Can Aria AV deliver and install AV equipment at any convention centre in the United States?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Aria AV delivers, installs, and supports AV equipment at any convention centre, hotel ballroom, or event venue in the United States. Convention centres regularly served include the Las Vegas Convention Center, McCormick Place Chicago, Javits Center New York, Orange County Convention Center Orlando, Moscone Center San Francisco, Georgia World Congress Center Atlanta, Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas, and all major hotel convention facilities. For trade show events, Aria AV installs during official exhibitor setup hours and strikes equipment after show close. Same-day delivery is available from Las Vegas and Chicago hub warehouses. Nationwide delivery to all other US venues with no cross-country freight surcharge.

Question 10

How do I get a quote for AV equipment rental?

Accepted Answer

The fastest way to get a quote is to use the Request a Quote form on Aria AV's website or call 866-840-1472.
