• HIGHER BRIGHTNESS : LCD light efficiency is very high, so colours appear clear and vivid even in a bright room.
   
• TRUER COLOURS : Superior half-toning of dark areas enables natural colour reproduction with high contrast ratios.
   
• EXCEPTIONAL RELIABILITY : With no mechanical moving parts in the LCD optical system, malfunction is rare. Also, lower wattage lamps increase efficiency and reduce damaging heat.
   
• NO COLOUR BREAK-UP : Colours are reproduced with three LCDs, so the images displayed do not exhibit the "rainbow effect" often associated with other technologies.

This past December, Martin Lord Ferguson, Producer & engineer for Creations Netza, spent time at CEV remixing, in surround, an original musical piece titled “If I Could Reach Your Heart” from the Cirque du Soleil’s album Ka.

This song, with music by René Dupéré, lyrics by Ella and vocal by Elise Velle, is currently #3 on the Billboard charts in its category. Martin created his masterpiece on the Digidesign ICON at the request of Digidesign, and it was used as a demo at the recent NAMM Convention, and will also be available to ICON resellers.

CEV is proud to have been able to assist Martin with his creation. The Digidesign ICON is available for demo in CEV’s Montreal office.
