LED panels have a triple advantage over conventional surtitle video projectors:
- They emit no residual light. Only the text is displayed, the rest of the screen remains perfectly black
- They remain legible in virtually all circumstances, regardless of the lighting environment
- They are perfectly silent
Panthea offers different types of LED panels for rent and sale, including:
- 50 x 50 cm tiles, which can be assembled in a variety of formats;
- Custom-made panels for less common formats, such as reminder screens, for example 150 x 25 cm for small rooms or as a support for readability in the first rows or in places with a restricted view of the surtitles.
For all projects, Panthea ensures the most aesthetically pleasing integration possible into the stage design and venue architecture.
A particular focus is placed on the hanging systems and cabling details. Unlike standard solutions offered by most manufacturers, which use heavy rigging bars designed for large video walls, Panthea has developed an extremely discreet sling suspension system (called “invisible suspension”) and custom-makes hybrid power and data cables, so that the connection visible to the audience over the last few metres is elegantly integrated and practically imperceptible.
The screens developed by Panthea come in two main versions.
- [SOOB] – ‘Supertitles Out of the Box’: A mobile version that is quick and easy to install, disassemble and store, for rooms with one-off requirements, or for touring productions
- Fixed installation: Adapted to the infrastructure of any type of venue, with or without a protective frame

We ensure that it suits your needs and matches the specific characteristics of your audience and venue.
Cabling infrastructure already in place, the distance from the screen to the audience furthest away in the room, the number of languages projected…
Each show is specific and requires an appropriate response, so don’t hesitate to contact us for an initial assessment of your needs.
On request, Panthea can also design a complete surtitling system and take care of installing the hardware and software, as well as any panthea.live accessibility extensions (internal link to panthea.live).
What screen sizes are recommended for perfectly legible surtitles?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. Essentially, it depends on the type of content on offer, the number of languages being projected and the distance between the screen and the audience. Good news! Our modular [SOOB] ‘Supertitles Out of the Box’ solution is designed to easily respond to most situations.
I’m the owner of a new venue. Can Panthea handle the implementation of a complete surtitling infrastructure?
We absolutely can. Panthea has already secured contracts from renowned institutions to install custom equipment, such as Staatsoper Unter den Linden (Berlin State Opera, Germany), Berliner Philharmoniker (Berlin Philharmonic, Germany), Hamburgische Staatsoper (Hamburg State Opera, Germany), Opéra de Lille (France) and Grand Théâtre de Rabat (Morocco).
If I buy a Panthea LED screen, do I have to use the [S] surtitling software?
No, the LED screens offered by Panthea can display any type of video signal, including images and films, so you remain free to use the software solutions that suit you. However, Panthea recommends its professional surtitling software [S]. It is based on decades of surtitling expertise and is a first-class solution to simplify workflow and save time.
