2. System overview
2.1 Introduction
Overview
The B-16 Mobile LED is a mobile outdoor LED display solution. The LED-wall comes in a trailer that can be pulled by a vehicle with
a 3500 kg (7000 lbs) towing capacity. The bolted draw bar makes it possible to adapt only 3 different ball hitches 390/430/470 mm
(standard 430 mm). All electronics and setup equipment are stored properly and compact when traveling.

B-16 Mobile LED
LED tiles used in the B-16 Mobile LED are T16 tiles and typically designed for outdoor use.
When arriving on the event location, the B-16 Mobile LED can easily be set up. The wall itself slides out of the trailer by means of a
hydraulic system. There is no need for trusses and structures to be set up. The screen can be turned + 90° or - 90° out of its neutral
position, allowing you to adjust the display to face the audience.
The B-16 Mobile LED contains a diesel-fueled generator. No external power supply is required but can be used, and it comes with
a Barco LED-PRO for high quality image processing.
The following topic enumerates all different components of a B-16 Mobile LED solution and describe their
