InfoComm Rental Staging Product Award Winners

In a special ceremony at InfoComm 2012 in Las Vegas Tuesday, the Winners of the InfoComm/Rental & Staging New Product Awards were announced. The program, administered by NewBay Media’s Rental & Staging Systems magazine, recognizes and rewards the manufacturers of new products for the live events and staging market that were introduced since last year’s InfoComm. The categories covered important applications from audio to high-lumen projection to video processing to the increasing use of digital signage for live events.
