Vincent DiStasio

Vincent DiStasio began his career with Video Visions in 1992 as an entry-level Technician Assistant. It was quickly evident that his dedication and work ethic was going to make him a valuable asset to the organization. Vince rapidly worked his way up in the company, becoming a Technician, a Lead Technician and eventually becoming a Systems Designer. He was named Director of Systems Design in late 2008 and to Vice President in 2009. Vince is an Avixa CTS-I Certified Technician.

Vince was involved in the early stages of the Videowall processors; he manufactured the Universal Basic & Universal Platinum Videowall processors from the board level. This was one of the first Videowall splitters manufactured in the US. Through the years, Vince has been manufacturer trained on every type of Videowall processor as well as all types of Videowall display devices. Some manufacturers include; ICS Technologies, Element Labs, Sony, ICT Split Machine & HR1500’s, Orion Plasma Display, Pioneer, NEC Display, Toshiba, Mitsubishi Data Wall, Christie MicroTiles, Gundermann, Barco, GVC, RGB Spectrum, Planar/Leyard, Jupiter, Hitachi, Dotronix, D3 LED, Christie/Vista Spyder & Hantarex. His experience in Videowall displays spans from the early days of stacking CRT monitors to the current cutting edge technology of LED displays, seamless plasma & seamless LCD displays.

The larger the hurdle, the more Vince enjoys the task! In 1992 during his apprentice days, he was involved with a national rollout for Wet Seal, installing 4×6 Videowalls of 27” CRT monitors with processors across the US – from California to Florida – and everywhere in-between. In 1995 Vince was a part of the team that installed a Videowall including 144 27” CRT monitors with nine Universal Videowall Processors into the NCAA Hall of Fame. In 2007 Vince lead the team that installed the largest VersaTile screen in the US into an elite Philadelphia nightclub. He was one of the first non-Panasonic technicians to install a 103” plasma panel and is one of the only non-Sharp technicians to have installed a 108” LCD panel. His experience is second to none in large-screen displays and Videowall display systems. A recent accomplishment includes an outdoor double-sided 8mm LED display at the Franklin Institute – the first of its kind on the Parkway in Philadelphia. Throughout his nearly 25 years with the company, he has traveled across the entire United States and through most of Europe either installing audiovisual equipment into client’s facilities or attending manufacturer training sessions.

As a Systems Designer Vince has worked on projects ranging from military installations such as Kennedy Space Center to retail stores such as Versace and Jones Apparel. Vince led the audiovisual team that allowed the Major League Baseball Network to launch on time; he was hands-on involved with every aspect of their AV System. He was the first field Systems Designer to successfully install a Christie MicroTile Videowall Display without manufacturer involvement. A few recent accomplishments would include the overseeing of a full system re-design at the Federal Aviation Authority’s command and control center as well as a full system re-design for the New Jersey State Police Command and Control Center.

Beginning his career in the field, his knowledge of the professional audiovisual industry is vast as he truly understands every project that he designs with their sales team. He still enjoys being a road warrior and getting his hands dirty out in the field with their installation crews. He works with their sales and engineering teams on a daily basis to help them achieve their client’s goals. His commitment to his clients is often referred to as above and beyond.
