The high-resolution mobile video screens will provide live video footage of the event backed by state-of-the-art image processing. The largest of the four screens, known as “GoBigger,” boasts a massive 19’ x 33’ widescreen configuration along with HD resolution and marks the industry’s first and largest truly high-definition mobile video screen.

“A historic event of this magnitude deserves the biggest and best video production possible,” said Chris Curtis, CEO of GoVision. “We’re honored to be entrusted with this vital element of the inauguration once again, and look forward to giving the record-breaking crowd a front-row seat to all the festivities.”

The event marks the second time GoVision (www.jumbo.tv), a leading provider of larger-than-life LED video walls and mobile units, has been chosen as the exclusive mobile video provider for the presidential inauguration ceremony. The company also provided four jumbo screens for President George W. Bush’s second inaugural ceremony in 2005.

In addition to the four truck-mounted screens in downtown Washington, GoVision is also setting-up mobile units for watching parties at the Canadian embassy and in Chicago’s Grant Park.

“We think January 20th may go down as the biggest large-screen rental day in history,” said Curtis, who has been fielding calls from organizers of events in several cities across the country.
