HiTech Stages Ltd. CEO reports the unveiling of the new stage design.

London, United Kingdom, December 13, 2010 -- (PR.com) -- HiTech Stages Ltd. Frankfurt Trading Symbol: JT2.F and German Securities Code: (WKN: A0YC2Y) announced today that the new stage design is complete and can be seen on the company website.  Stageco is still putting the finishing touches to the engineering drawings but all aspects of the stage have met or exceeded our design criteria using many novel technologies to automate and simplify deployment.

The new HiTech design looks significantly different from the original concept design but reflects what performers want and still deploys automatically.  Sides have been added to enclose and protect the performers; the high resolution video screens have been brought to the front instead of being placed at the rear where they would have been hidden and the back of the stage is now a large low resolution LED screen.  The lift, which allows a car or stage equipment to be raised and tilted, is another unique feature of the HiTech Stage.

The automation is impressive.  No forklift trucks or cranes are required to remove components from the tractor-trailers as the main stage unit lifts itself off of the trailer and then self drives up to 500 meters to the event site.  It then self-levels, the roof lifts and extends automatically and the stage surface extends.  All Lighting components are already attached to the roof.  The video dollies containing the hi-res video screens and the speaker systems also self-drive from the parking lot to the event site and then self level and deploy automatically.  The on board generator is able to deploy the stage and then run all systems during the performance.

The ‘front of house’ control center is plug and play and includes the multi media control center.

HiTech Stages Ltd, CEO, David Rebak begin_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlightingcommented, “I will be meeting with Stageco next week to finalize the last few remaining details and Ian Hamilton will be joining me to provide initial customer feed back”.

The timeline for starting manufacturing in early 2011 is still on track with earlier estimates.

Mr. Ian Hamilton, who is a well known large event professional with many years of Olympic and major event experience, continues to receive very positive feed back from potential clients – many of whom have expressed disappointment that our stage is not available today.
