Quadruples' Chandra Vekaria comments: "It's only a small system with a budget to match, but Sound Division approached the job with the same professionalism as they woul
Recommended to use ice*lighting Super Battens by Richard Martin Lighting, LD Nigel Catmur created a blend of video effects across the Super Batten Array, together with conventional LED lighting effects to provide a stunning display never previously available without the use of a media server. The wide display angle (140°+) allowed lighting effects to be picked up by TV cameras from shallow angles and the LED diffusion system powered by Bead*light Technologies abolished pixelization and significantly reduced the flare normally associated with LED "look-at" light, say the company.
The ice*lighting Super Batten recently won the ABTT lighting product of the year and
The iDR unit not only controls levels and zoning for the 4 Martin Audio speakers but also uses some of its powerful processing features, such as output delays and parametric EQ's on the outputs, to eliminate feedback for the large number of Sennheiser lapel mics that the school uses, as well as a wide variety of media playback devices. Soft keys on the front of the iDR unit are programmed to easily recall presets for the different events t

By granting summary judgment for Color Kinetics, the Court determined that there was no genuine dispute of material fact and that Color Kinetics was entitled to judgment as a matter of law against Super Vision on Super Vision's claims of invalidity of Color Kinetics' patents, and that the patents are infringed by Super Vision. The Court also found that Color Kinetics was not guilty of inequitable conduct regarding its actions with the US Patent and Trademark Office, as alleged by Super Vision. As such, no trial will be held on these issues.

Production manager Lynette Woods-Reynolds managed the area for the 11 weekly evictions, which was expanded for the finalé episode when the last four contestants were evicted in front of the live audience. Woods-Reynolds explained: "We brought in a brilliant team of suppliers, who worked really well together to create a live event that looked great on television, which was what most of the people around us were concerned with. We had so much equipment in there we had to limit the public guests to 750, then there were the sponsor's guests,
Lighting was designed by Gatto & Associates and the show utilised 18 Robe ColorWash 1200E ATs (with electronic ballast), four Robe ColorSpot 1200E ATs and 180 Source Four Pars to outline the ring - all controlled with an Avolites Pearl 2004.

The backstage artist's bar was also housed in an Arena structure, which was busy throughout the weekend with artists and production crew alike watching the action on stage through plasmas which displayed a live feed from the main stage, and catching the action from the weekend's football matches. Commercial manager Rory O'Neil explained: "This event gave us the chance to show that Arena Structures is abou
SDI feeds from a front of house PPU were routed into a central matrix, allowing any of the feeds to be switched into any of the screens at any time. This meant that if an input feed dropped out, there was the means to send a good feed to another screen without a break in video footage. The combination of stage and IMAG screens allowed video director Dick Carruthers and his compa

Zig Zag managing director Neil Hunt says, "The idea is to provide a site that any user can go to and purchase professional quality lighting equipment. We source our products from well respected suppliers and pass on that quality and good service to the end-user."
Hadyn Thomas, the site's developer, adds, "There is a gap in the market for such a service and when I was approached by Zig Zag to create the site, I was confident that it would prove to be a successful venture."
To maintain its position, the venue has needed to keep its performance infrastructure at the cutting edge. As their head technician Jerry Radford puts it: "We're always upgrading equipment; it's an ongoing thing . . . like the Forth Road Bridge."
Recently they were forced to upgra
