Absen 2,000㎡ LED Displays Illuminate Vietnam’s 80th National Day Celebrations at Ba Dinh Square


HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 September 2025 – On 2 September, commemorations marking the August Revolution and Vietnam’s 80th National Day were held at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, with the Chinese delegation attending by invitation. As a global leader in LED display technology and applications, Absen supplied multiple LED display products and control solutions for the celebrations, comprehensively meeting the stringent requirements for image presentation, stable operation, and service assurance demanded by high-profile international events.

Absen 2,000㎡ LED Displays Illuminate Vietnam’s 80th National Day Celebrations at Ba Dinh Square

Covering a total area exceeding 2,000 square meters, Absen’s large screens were meticulously deployed across various zones of Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi. They delivered a high-definition, stable visual experience for tens of thousands of on-site spectators and global broadcast audiences, featuring refined, fluid image quality and accurate color reproduction. The displays precisely captured every highlight moment, synchronously presenting signals from multiple on-site camera angles and swiftly switching between grand scenes, further amplifying the celebratory atmosphere.

As a national-level Vietnamese celebration, particularly involving large-scale outdoor ceremonies interweaving military parades, mass processions, and cultural performances, the selection of on-site display equipment was subject to exceptionally stringent criteria. It was imperative not only to withstand complex and variable outdoor lighting conditions, ensuring both spectators and media cameras could clearly capture every detail, but also to possess exceptional reliability and stability. This precluded failures such as black screens, freezing, or color distortion, thereby guaranteeing the smooth progression of the celebrations.

Following comprehensive evaluations of product quality and stability, brand reputation, and service guarantees, Absen’s stage rental solutions emerged as the preferred choice, serving as the core display platform for this national celebration.

Confronted with Vietnam’s hot and humid summer climate alongside the stability challenges of extended, high-profile live broadcasts for a national-level event, the stage rental products—including the Absen NT Series, PL V2 Series, and PL lite Series—demonstrated exceptional adaptability and reliability. Throughout both rehearsals and the main event day, the products operated flawlessly without a single fault under prolonged outdoor high temperatures, maintaining consistently vibrant and pristine visuals. This performance reaffirmed Absen’s leading capability in servicing major global events.

From Victory to Peace: 80 years of dialogue between China and the World

BEIJING, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from China.org.cn on the 80th anniversary of the victory of WWII:


From Victory to Peace: 80 years of dialogue between China and the World

On June 26, 1945, applause echoed through the Veterans War Memorial Building in San Francisco. Amid solemn music, the signing ceremony of the United Nations Charter commenced, with the Chinese delegation signing first. Four months later, the UN Charter entered into force, officially establishing the United Nations. From the ruins of World War II (WWII), a new international order was built, embodying humanity’s enduring desire for peace and development.

The panorama of history continues to unfold. China has been committed to advancing the cause of peace for humanity in the past 80 years.

To safeguard peace means upholding the principles of the UN Charter and preserving the post-war international order, a hard-won outcome of the Second World War forged through the collective efforts of many nations. At its core, the order emphasizes equality for big or small countries alike, the right to self-determination, and the peaceful resolution of international disputes, etc.

At the 1955 Bandung Conference, then Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai made a pithy yet memorable statement — “The Chinese Delegation has come here to seek common ground and not to create divergence,” which highlighted the essence of the Bandung Spirit. The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence proposed by China vividly embody the principles of the UN Charter and have become fundamental guidelines for managing international relations. In April 1990, China dispatched five military observers to the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO). Since then, China has deployed over 50,000 peacekeepers, demonstrating with concrete actions its commitment to the principles of the UN Charter in upholding international peace and security. In March 2023, China successfully mediated the restoration of diplomatic ties between Iran and Saudi Arabia in Beijing, after seven years of suspension. This reconciliation set a new model of political resolution of hot-button issues. During the past eight decades, China has been upholding multilateralism, steadfastly guarding the UN-centered international system and the international order underpinned by international law.

“The tree of peace does not grow on barren land.” To maintain peace, shared development should be a fundamental pillar.

In the vast expanses of space, China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellites have been monitoring and safeguarding the Amazon rainforest, preserving the “lungs of the planet.” This represents a milestone in high-tech cooperation between developing countries. In 2007, dozens of Chinese agricultural experts brought hybrid rice technology to Madagascar, and with wisdom and persistence, they transformed the convention of local rice farming that was “solely dependent on the weather” and extricated millions from the threat of famine. In 2021, the China-Laos Railway entered into operation, cutting travel from Vientiane to the ChinaLaos border from two days to just three hours, while facilitating the trade of more than 2,000 types of products between both countries. Since the proposal of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) over a decade ago, China has coordinated its development strategies with those of the BRI partner countries, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs. China has continued to advance global poverty reduction and sustainable development, launching public goods that serve the common interests of humanity, thereby contributing to world peace and stability.

At present, the Global South remains underrepresented and lacks sufficient voices in the global governance system. Safeguarding peace requires constant improvement of the global governance framework based on principles of justice and fairness, thereby laying a firmer foundation for lasting world peace.

At the turn of the 21st century, Shanghai witnessed the birth of a new regional multilateral cooperation framework in 2001 — the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Its member states cultivated the “Shanghai Spirit” through peaceful settlement of border security issues and rising to common challenges, which has since become a driving force for cooperation and regional peace and stability. In 2017, during the BRICS Xiamen Summit, China proposed the innovative “BRICS+” cooperation model, and six years later, with China’s efforts, the BRICS mechanism achieved a historic expansion. At the 2022 G20 Bali Summit, China took the initiative to state its support for the African Union’s admission to the G20. For years, China has actively promoted reforms of the global governance system, enhancing the voices of the Global South countries, and pursuing international cooperation under the principles of extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits, thereby strengthening the forces that uphold peace and development.

Eight decades of history have enlightened us that victory is not the end of war, and peace must be guarded by successive generations with wisdom and unity. Standing at a new starting point and reflecting on the past, we need to embrace multilateralism more firmly than ever before. In a time of intertwined challenges and hope, we must discard bias and discrimination, and join hands in building a community with a shared future for humanity.

Marching from victory to peace, and onwards to common prosperity — this is both a lesson from history, and our collective responsibility for the future.

LG OLED TV BRINGS PARK SEO-BO’S NATURE-INSPIRED COLORS TO LIFE AT FRIEZE SEOUL 2025

LG OLED TV’s Perfect Blacks & Perfect Colors Capture the Master’s Vibrant Palette

LG Brings the Frieze Art-viewing Experience to the Home with LG Gallery+

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) presents “Park Seo‑Bo x LG OLED TV: Colors Drawn from Nature” at Frieze Seoul 2025 (September 3–6), marking the company’s fourth year as Headline Partner. In collaboration with the PARKSEOBO FOUNDATION, LG OLED TV celebrates one of Korea’s most revered contemporary artists by faithfully expressing his distinctive color philosophy through the unmatched precision of LG’s self-lit OLED technology. Starting this year, LG also expands the Frieze art fair experience to LG TV owners through LG Gallery+, a personal curation service that allows users to display artwork on their TV screens like an at-home gallery. 

A Master of Nature’s Colors Reimagined by LG OLED TV

The “Park Seo‑Bo X LG OLED TV: Colors Drawn from Nature” exhibition showcases Park Seo-Bo’s nature-inspired colors on a digital canvas. It flows from his meditative black and white colors – black drawn from the soot of an old kitchen hearth, white evoked from the stillness and quiet of Korean hanji – to vibrant colors borrowed from nature – the yellow of Jeju’s canola, the pink of azalea, the green of spring leaves, and the deep orange of ripe persimmon. With self-lit pixels and perfect blacks, LG OLED TVs capture the quiet depth and nuance of Park Seo-Bo’s work to bring his meditative colors to life in their truest form.

Park Seo-Bo believed that nature speaks in colors beyond words,” said Park Seung-ho, chairperson of the PARKSEOBO FOUNDATION and son of the artist. “This exhibition offers a new perspective on his works, inviting viewers not merely to observe, but to engage more deeply as participants in the experience.”

At the center of the exhibition, a T-shaped installation featuring LG’s latest OLED evo G5 and M5 TVs present a digitally reimagined artwork by Je Baak, art professor at Seoul National University. This digitalized artwork celebrates the pivotal moment for Park Seo-Bo when a walk under the overwhelmingly red autumn leaves struck him as both awe-inspiring and healing. In efforts to share the master’s enlightenment through nature’s breathtaking colors, Baak collaborated with AI to collect the different hues of autumn-leaf red found in captured moments by people all around the world. The result is a monument of shared visual experience that encapsulates autumn leaves seen through the eyes of everyone and the artist himself.

Bringing Frieze and Park Seo-Bo’s Artwork to the Home

LG is bringing the Frieze art fair experience into the homes of art enthusiasts through its new LG Gallery+ app on the LG webOS platform. More than 100 select artworks from Frieze Seoul including works by Park Seo-Bo will be available for free viewing on LG Gallery+ for a certain time after the fair. LG TV owners who could not experience Frieze Seoul first-hand can now enjoy a seamless and extended viewing experience in the form of a home gallery with LG Gallery+.

“We hope LG OLED, with its ability to render deep blacks and vibrant colors with exceptional accuracy, honors the legacy of Park Seo-Bo’s colors borrowed from nature,” said Kate Oh, head of Experiential Marketing at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “By collaborating with world-renowned art partners such as Frieze, the Guggenheim, and MMCA, LG OLED continues to create new value in art marketing, expanding the intersection of art and technology in major cities around the world including Seoul, London, New York, and LA.”

LG OLED TVs continue to champion artists and cultural institutions at the intersection of art and technology, creating new ways to experience creativity in the digital age. Discover more about LG’s global art collaborations at www.LGOLEDART.com

About Park Seo-Bo

Park Seo-Bo (1931–2023) was a pioneering figure in Korean contemporary art, known for redefining its direction in the aftermath of the Korean War. A graduate of Hongik University, he challenged institutional norms through the Anti-National-Art-Exhibition Manifesto and became a leading voice in the Dansaekhwa movement. His signature Ecriture series—ranging from pencil-based works to hanji and color variations—explored themes of repetition, materiality, and meditative process, reflecting a uniquely Korean view of nature and healing.

Beyond his artistic legacy, Park Seo-Bo was a transformative educator and cultural leader. As a professor and chairman of the Korean Fine Arts Association, he played a key role in modernizing art education and globalizing Korean art through initiatives like École de Séoul and regional festivals. His contributions were honored with Korea’s highest cultural orders, and in 2019, he founded the PARKSEOBO FOUNDATION to preserve his work and support future generations in art and culture.

TVU Networks Unveils TVU MediaMesh™: A Global Shared Memory for Live Video

Debuting at IBC 2025, TVU MediaMesh platform empowers any authorized tool or team to seamlessly access and contribute to live signals

CUPERTINO, Calif., Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — TVU Networks, the leader in cloud-native live video with 20 years of powering news, sports, and streaming productions, today launched its most transformative platform yet: TVU MediaMesh™, redefining how live content is accessed and produced in the cloud.

TVU Networks Unveils TVU MediaMesh™: A Global Shared Memory for Live Video
TVU Networks Unveils TVU MediaMesh™: A Global Shared Memory for Live Video

For decades, live production, whether on-site or remote, has long been limited by fixed, physical infrastructure, dedicated equipment, and rigid routing that limits scale and flexibility. While the cloud promised to break these barriers, today only about 1% of live productions have fully migrated, with adoption hindered by the complexity of connecting sources, routing signals, and integrating diverse applications.

TVU MediaMesh removes those barriers by introducing global shared memory for live video—dramatically simplifying signal connectivity and slashing configuration time.

“MediaMesh removes the biggest obstacle to cloud adoption by making live signals instantly accessible anywhere, as easily as opening a shared file,” said Mike Cronk, VP of Strategy at TVU Networks. “It gives teams the freedom to produce from anywhere, using the tools they want without worrying about the back end.”

As the foundation that powers TVU’s award-winning SaaS applications for the world’s largest live events—from routing and AI indexing to production and playout—MediaMesh now opens its APIs, enabling customers and partners to build, innovate, and shape the future of live production.

Industry Leaders Are Already Building on It

TVU’s customer-led, partner-centric approach is already resonating across the industry:

“By integrating Grass Valley AMPP with TVU MediaMesh, we’re giving our customers the seamless workflows they’ve been asking for across our best-of-breed solutions,” said Adam Marshall, CPO at Grass Valley. “AMPP users can now connect to sources from multiple vendors, including TVU’s cellular backpacks, without the usual integration complexity. This deepens the collaboration our customers have been calling for.”

“The future of live production depends on collaboration, not closed ecosystems,” said Paul Shen, CEO of TVU Networks. “By opening our platform through MediaMesh, we’re giving broadcasters, developers, and partners the freedom to innovate faster—together.”

Open. Collaborative. Available Now.

TVU MediaMesh is available today, including on the AWS Marketplace, enabling customers to deploy instantly. Whether building the next generation of live apps, running remote production, or uniting multiple vendors into one workflow, MediaMesh provides the infrastructure to move faster and maximize existing resources.

To guide the platform’s evolution, TVU has formed a MediaMesh Advisory Board (MAB), bringing together leaders from seven major media companies and five partner organizations including Chyron, EVS, Grass Valley, Solid State Logic and Vizrt. The MAB will meet quarterly starting on September 3rd to provide feedback and ensure MediaMesh reflects real-world needs.

At IBC 2025 (Hall 7, B.55), TVU will showcase integrations from select MAB members, as well as Mediatest, Eluvio, Pixelstorm, and MXL interoperability demos with Grass Valley, Riedel, Matrox, and AWS. Join these, and MediaMesh development partners including In-Sync, Telos Alliance, On-Hertz, Spectatr.ai, Vela, Camba.i, and Kinetiq and start building with MediaMesh at https://www.tvunetworks.com/tvu-developer.

About TVU Networks

TVU Networks is a global leader in cloud and IP-based live video solutions, powering broadcast, streaming, and remote production for news, sports, and entertainment. Trusted by media organizations in over 100 countries, TVU’s award-winning ecosystem enables agile, scalable, and cost-effective workflows, anytime, anywhere.
