"Although we have worked remotely with DWR for a few years now, it was our first physical contact with South Africa," said Marco. "I had a feeling that we were in for a nice surprise and indeed we were overwhelmed by the warm welcome and hand of friendship from everyone. I was thrilled I could take a day at the end of the trip to explore the beauty of Cape Town. All we can think of is now is when can we plan to come back."
A day's training was hosted in Johannesburg and presented by Benjamin Bauwens and Marco and both were encouraged by the good attendance. "I took a group picture of everyone to bring back to our office and share with the team," said Marco. "Attendees were asked to install their laptops with MediaMaster ahead of time which worked out very well. Their success in doing this on their own beforehand is testament to how user friendly we've made the process.
"Within a day, we covered a large range of subjects such as video mixing, DMX triggering, LED mapping, managing multiple video outputs and video mapping. It's pretty motivating for the delegates to leave the training and have the tools they need to get started installed on their personal machine."
Marco ends, "We could not have had such a successful training without the dedication of the DWR team. We counted 22 companies we visited together, a very impressive number."
