What ResolutionX does

ResolutionX is an Australian equipment rental company founded in 1998 that supplies professional lighting, rigging, and staging equipment alongside full production services to the live entertainment industry. It operates from three Australian locations — a 2,760 square metre Melbourne headquarters in Noble Park (148-152 Browns Road), a Sydney branch (21b Richmond Road), and a Brisbane branch (38 Murdoch Cct, Acacia Ridge) — and positions itself as one of the largest providers of rental lighting and rigging equipment in Australia. Customers span concert and festival producers, theatre and dance companies, venue operators, sports organisations, local councils, and corporate event producers, with named engagements including the Australian Open at Rod Laver Arena, the MCG, NRL Indigenous Round and Dally M Awards, Vivid Sydney, Lightscape Melbourne, Melbourne Festival, AWS Summit, Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival, and tours for Flume, Chet Faker, Måneskin, Tim Minchin, Missy Higgins, and the Sydney Dance Company.

The technical core is a large, multi-brand inventory of automated fixtures (Martin MAC Encore Wash and Performance CLD/WRM, MAC Aura Raven XIP, Ayrton Diablo, Clay Paky Ultimo Sharpy IP66), LED washes, strobes and blinders (GLP JDC Burst 1, Chauvet Color Strike M, ROXX Cluster B2 FC), control infrastructure (MA Lighting grandMA consoles, ETC consoles, LumenRadio Stardust wireless DMX/RDM, network and backup systems), atmospheric effects, structural trussing and motors, power distribution, dimmers, media servers (AV Stumpfl PIXERA, Coolux Pandora's Box), follow spots, searchlights, staging, and film/TV lighting. Notable in-house engineering capabilities include custom-manufactured LED Hi-Bays built for the Crown Casino New Year's Eve installation, a custom outdoor housing engineered around the Clay Paky Alpha 1500 Profile for the Windsor Hotel 130th birthday façade, 600 metres of custom LED Neon and 4 km of cabling for the Puffing Billy Train of Lights installation, and a proprietary XConnect Wireless Monitoring System that enables full remote rig monitoring from the Noble Park head office.

ResolutionX earns revenue through usage-based equipment rental (dry hire of fixtures, consoles, trussing, rigging, dimmers, power distribution, media servers, lasers and effects, supported by nationwide delivery) paired with project-based production services that bundle crew, design, and technical execution. Pricing is quote-based and varies with project scope, duration, and equipment mix, reflecting the absence of public rate cards; customer engagement is direct B2B enterprise field sales to event producers, lighting designers, venue operators, councils, and corporate clients, with marketing driven by a detailed web portfolio, customer testimonials, industry news content, and direct phone inquiry via 1300 GO RESX.
