To cover the
intricate columned
façade of the Hall,
XL Video employed
fourteen of their
Panasonic PT-
DZ21KE projectors,
with content fed
by five of XL’s d3
media servers.
The show control,
including triggers to
the d3 servers, was
all handled via a
grandma MA2 Light
desk and NPU, with back-up from a MA
Command Wing. The media server racks
and set-up were managed by XL’s in-house
Technician, Erica Frost, with on-site projectors
and media servers handled by Craig
Harrower.
A team of animators from 59 Productions,
under the direction of Nicol Scott, created
the content for the show, which was
designed to perfectly fit the building.
XL Video’s Ed Cooper commented: “It was
lovely to work with Leo, Richard and their
team so soon after Sinatra. 59 Productions’
technical briefs are always very exacting,
and provided our team with a range of
challenges which they ably met. The show
looked fantastic, and the crowd were
delighted by the spectacle!”
