During Q1 of 2026, we invested in new technology to enhance our event production and hiring capabilities. From visual processing powerhouses to immersive LED wall installations, our expanded inventory is designed to support whatever event you’re planning. Here’s a summary of the new equipment that is now available.
Visual processing
The Barco E2 Gen 2 has transformed our AV capabilities with its exceptional processing power and scalability. Supporting up to 40 inputs and 18 outputs (including 16 4K inputs and 8 4K outputs), this delivers native 4K60p processing with full 12-bit colour depth, bringing the visual precision that modern events require. What makes it truly special is the linkable chassis system, allowing you to scale beyond a single frame without additional external processing. Whether you’re producing live-streamed presentations, multi-camera broadcast productions, hybrid conferences, or command centre operations, the Barco E2 Gen 2 provides the processing headroom and visual control needed to bring your creative vision to life.
Professional PTZ camera suite
We’ve expanded our camera collection with a comprehensive suite of Panasonic professional-grade PTZ cameras, engineered specifically for live production environments. Our inventory now includes 10 × Panasonic AW-UE50 cameras (24× optical zoom, 74.1° horizontal viewing angle) and 4 × Panasonic AW-UE80 cameras delivering exceptional 4K/60p performance, all controlled via Panasonic AW-RP60 controllers capable of managing up to 200 cameras with 100 presets each. These whisper-quiet cameras deliver sharp, dynamic visuals without audio interference, while their compact, sleek design makes them equally at home on a discreet pole mount or as a prominent production element. The precision control and extensive preset functionality mean capturing keynote speakers, tracking talent across hybrid events, and orchestrating multi-room conferences is just a button press away.
Immersive visuals at scale
With the addition of 348 Absen PL V2 panels, we’re equipped to bring bold, immersive visuals to events of any scale. These flexible, scalable panels are available in multiple pixel pitches (1.9mm, 2.5mm, 3.07mm, and 4.8mm), allowing you to select the right resolution for your viewing distance. Your goal might be to deliver pin-sharp detail in intimate settings or maintain stunning quality in large-scale installations, both of which are achievable with this LED wall. The 500mm × 500mm modular design and lightweight construction enable rapid deployment, reducing installation time and crew overhead. From full-stage conference backdrops that frame speakers and display dynamic content, to product launches that demand stunning visual impact, to branded retail installations and live entertainment productions, the Absen PL V2 transforms events into immersive visual experiences.
Lighting control
Professional lighting control has reached a new level of sophistication with the addition of the Avolites D3-110 lighting console and Luminex LumiNode Ethernet/DMX processors. The D3-110 is ideal for productions that require portability and capability. Powered by Avolites’ industry-leading Titan software, it delivers 24 DMX universes supporting up to 12,288 channels and unlimited fixtures in a compact, self-contained unit with a 12.1″ touchscreen and touring-ready durability.
The Luminex LumiNode complements this perfectly by decoupling control data from physical DMX ports, allowing seamless routing, merging, and distribution of DMX/RDM data across network environments with complete flexibility. Paired together, they work for multi-room conferences requiring independent control in each space, touring theatre productions moving between venues, large-scale events with distributed lighting zones, and complex broadcast environments where network infrastructure is already established.
Consistent audio
We’ve added Yamaha DM3 digital mixing consoles with Rio I/O racks, bringing powerful, flexible audio solutions without the footprint. The DM3’s 16 inputs, 8 outputs, and 96kHz capability, paired with Dante-networked Rio racks, allows strategic connectivity throughout your venue without losing out on audio quality. This is essential for multi-room conferences and exhibitions with distributed audio zones.
Additionally, our fleet of 30 ASUS TUF Gaming A16 laptops (powered by AMD Ryzen™ 9 8940HX processors and military-grade durability standards) ensures consistency and reliability across technical operations, whether it’s demanding presentation software, complex data visualisation, or creative applications you’re running. The matched fleet means your technical team can focus on delivering your event, not troubleshooting device-specific issues.

Hiring equipment is just one part of successful event delivery. That’s why TechPro don’t just provide dry hire options, we also offer comprehensive production support to handle the installation and operation of your technical setup, as well as full event production design services to integrate technology into your overall creative vision.
