The majority of the lights are hung in the studio's ceiling on special trussing - also supplied by Impact - and the white units are specifically used for floor level lighting of sets and other scenic elements.
The move followed Seligmann-Forest's extensive use of Robe on the 2007 hit reality show, Secret Story and also on Le Grand Soir d'Eliane et Francis. He comments, "I really like the Robe brand and am very happy with the equipment and the relati

The Satellites and BB4s were used to illuminate a large skate ramp complex at the centre of the Greenfields area, the end section of this also doubled as a band stage area showcasing a series of up-and-coming talent.
The Greenfields area lighting and AV was co-ordinated by Niall Whybrow of Potters Bars based PP AV.
"Anything that reduces the amount of energy consumed is good," says Bob Wilson, events co-ordinator for Greenpeace UK, "What i-Pix are doing is very interesting."
The skate ramp was illuminated with four BB4s, rigged at the highest point and washing along its length. In the evenings, a projection scree
The exhibition was staged at Barkarby Airfield in Stockholm and included a large demo site for working presentations of heavy plant machinery.
Scanlaser is one of Samzelius's key clients and he has designed all their exhibition stands for some time. He has also used Milos products for the last five years.
The Scanlaser stand space at MaskinExpo measured 25m by 30m, with the MR2 system measuring 15m by 13m for the main tent and 12m by 13m for the black tent. It was purchased specially for the show by Samzelius and will eventually be owned by Scanlaser. He comments, "I've wanted to purchase an MR2 roof for several years, and this new Scanlaser stand pro
More than 90% of respondents to the survey found their roadshow visit useful and would attend such an event again. And 20% of survey respondents were currently not Audio-Technica dealers or re-sellers.
Audio-Technica senior UK marketing manager Harvey Roberts comments: "The response to the roadshow has been excellent. The survey results show that customers were very receptive to Audio-Technica going out to see them, rather than having to travel to us in the usual trade show environment."
Adrian Rooke, Audio-Technica UK managing director said: "In terms of reaching out to new prospects, the Road To Success tour more than proved it
R2 Digital Productions headed by Colin Rozee, are the tour's technical co-ordinators. At the end of 2007, producer Stuart Littlewood was keen to replace some of the physical set with video and give the show - which has been on the road for 11 years - a contemporary twist.
He spoke to Rozee who advised that large projections would be a way to achieve this, by which time lighting designer Nigel Catmur had already come up with initial ideas for a projected set design containing 51 different sized projection windows mounted onto three large onstage flats

Since the entire facility had to be pitched at world-class level, the audio reinforcement system also had to meet the standard for international competitions and a CobraNet digital backbone was proposed, with BSS Audio providing the DSP network.
To meet the specification for the PA system, based around a JBL PD main system, ACE (the Harman Pro distributors for China and Hong Kong) proposed a complete Harman Pro signal chain; this comprises five BSS Audio Soundweb London BLU-80 devices as the primary processing system, with two BSS Audio FCS-966 two-channel 30-band Constant Q graphic e
However, while the Bollywood film industry is the central entertainment focus, the events industry also continues to record dramatic growth. With over 8% GDP growth, India's main conurbations and resorts are witnessing a boom in leisure and tourism infrastructure. To provide specific platforms for both of these distinct areas, PALME India features two separate but complementary vertical shows, I
Recently, leading German architectural lighting designer Bernd Grewe was commissioned by locally based architects Struhkarchitekten Planungsgesellschaft to create a new contemporary lighting scheme to replace the fluorescent lighting surrounding the columns of the building's entrance hall and lobby. The idea was that the structure of the entrance hall should be 'clarified' by the new lighting.
One of the architect's remits was to use low power light-sources and fixtures that were aesthetically pleasing and that blended seamlessly into

This has replaced the original Diamond 3 which had been in residence since the Waterfront opened in 1997. It was part of an upgrade instigated by stage electrician Oscar Kane and was supplied by Belfast-based Production Services Ireland (PSI).
The console is used to control the house lighting systems in the Main 2000 capacity auditorium, and is also moved around the building and sometimes used in the Studio Theatre.
"It was a completely logical move to go on to the D4 after the D3" says Kane, "It's a console that can be used at very basic or highly complex levels - as required."
PSI's Sean Pagel arranged the sale of the D4 to Waterfront. He worked at the flagship v
Forum participants included representatives from the National Academy, the Central Academy in Beijing and the Shanghai Academy. Neil Fraser is the Technical Course Director at the London Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and his key note address (the highlight of the Forum) introduced the UK training system as practised at RADA.
"It was a great honour to represent and introduce the concept of Lighting Teaching in the UK and at RADA to the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts and to do so sponsored by Selecon Lighting," says Fraser. "I was especially honoured to be made an associate professor of the Chinese Academy and it h

In addition to three floors of office space, the ten-storey, 84,000sq.ft facility features a total of 14 rehearsal studios, two of which can be used as function rooms. Owned and operated by The New 42nd Street Inc, it was set up as an independent non-profit organisation to assume long-term responsibility for seven historic theatres on the block.
The facility recently tasked its lighting designer, Anne Militello, of Los Angeles-based Vortex Lighting, with the revitalisation of the building, replacing the conventionally-lit extravaganza she had designed at the start of the new millennium, with a LED solution using Coemar fixtures.
When the architectural firm Platt Byard Dovell originally conceived the New 42nd Street
SAE Cape Town is housed in a landmark building situated in the heart of Cape Town's business district. Based on three floors, SAE Cape town is home to a state of the art recording studio, an advanced computer centre and two fully-equipped lecture halls, offering the latest technology in all fields of creative study, says the organisation.
The first diploma intake for Audio Engineering, Digital Animation and Multimedia and Web Development will commence in July, with new courses such as Electronic Music Production and the "revolutionary Digital DJ course" set to launch later in 2008. SAE Cape Town is also set to offer its Film diploma in 2009, aimed at students looking to enter South Africa's dynamic film industry.

With just a single stack per side, comprising a VQ NET 60 cabinet above an accompanying VS218 DR subwoofer, the aesthetic impact on the visual projection space of the Igloo interior was minimal.
Tannoy's Tim Gray comments: "I was worried that just two subs and two VQ NET 60 tops for 1400 people would be cutting it fine, but it did the business. The best thing about the system though, was getting more familiar with the subs.This new twin 18" design clearly sets a new performance standard for Tannoy subwoofers and it's just awesome for sub-bass."
The new VQ series was designed for any application where prec
For La Cova's owners, David Pecharroman and Coral Martínez, the move is the latest chapter in a long relationship with QSC Spain, and specifically their sales manager for Catalonia and the Balearics, Ezequiel Mayoral.
Inside the all-white interior, with its long rectilinear shape, Tony Espin masterminded the installation for DJ Factory to ensure not only even distribution, but via a series of system presets optimised the sound depending on whether the venue would be presenting live music, comedic speech or hard dance playback from the highly-specified DJ station.
"The whole idea was to provide LaCova with maximum versatility for minimum investment," says Mayoral.
Thus the venue has been equippe
Over the past two decades, Procon, an international technical full service provider for the media, entertainment and event industry, has assembled one of the most advanced and comprehensive equipment pools in the world.
Together with an order of NX-6 true black LED displays, Procon ordered a significant quantity of MiTRIX modules, DX-700 video processors and XLM HD30 high brightness digital projectors. Also included in the order were 25 Showguns and 25 Showpix, both products from the recently acquired lighting specialist High End Systems.
"At Procon, we have made it our mission to offer our clients the most advanced products on the market today" says Morten Carlsson, CEO of Procon. "We are delighted to add the NX-6 together with all
"We had lots of patience in working with this project and therefore didn't encounter many hurdles," says owner Lorne Leier. "We took time in thinking out the layout and took proper procedures when time came to execute. We didn't have our mouths precede our brains. I guess you could say it was installed 'smartly.'
"We decided to go with Martin as a referral from Skaha Sound, our dealer here in Penticton." Skaha acquires its Martin gear from Martin Canada.

DPA Soundco of Soborg, Denmark, once again provided concert sound services for the occasion. A total of 60 JBL VT4889 full-size line array elements were suspended using ground-support trussing structures which flanked the festival's orange tensile-membrane outdoor stage covering. Each main left/right array included 18 VT4889's, supplemented with out-fill array hangs of 12 boxes each. DPA Soundco's Paul Hammann and Claus Pedersen headed the onsite crew responsible for system deployment and operation.
"This is the first year we have deployed JBL's Vertec system for Roskilde, after using another system for many years," says Sten Jensen of DPA Soundco. "
