Switzerland - PartyGuide.ch - often abbreviated to PG - is the largest and oldest leisure portal in Switzerland. The 10th birthday celebration was staged in the Festhalle BEA Bern, attracting a large crowd of partygoers.
Video programmer and network technician Marco Fedrizzi from Flashlight specified two grandMA full-size consoles to run lighting and video, one grandMA onPC as backup, one MA NSP (Network Signal Processor) and one MA video station with the new MA VPU (Video Processing Unit) software for the job.
Fedrizzi reports: "Because of the short time schedule we needed a system with a multi-user option so we could programme the show in parallel - a sophisticated feature which the grandMA offers. As a result everyone worked in their own 'World' using the same showfile. During the show we had a full-backup system, which was never needed."
The grandMA system controlled a G-LEC Phantom 30 LED-curtain as well as a large rig of Martin and Coemar moving lights.
Martin Eberle worked as the lighting programmer and Christian Schweizer programmed the MA video station. Flashlight Event & Mediatechnik delivered the lighting equipment. cast Switzerland AG is the distributor for MA Lighting in Switzerland.
