Ptarmigan contracted Artistic Licence to provide a Colour-Tramp control system along with a range of DMX512 and Art-Net distribution products. Simon Fraser of Ptarmigan comments: "I selected Colour-Tramp because of its graphics based LED control interface and its ease of programming and automated operation. The main control room is remote from the tower, so the use of Art-Net ethernet significantly reduced the length of expensive DMX512 cabling. The Art-Net ethernet was converted back to DMX512 locally at the fixtures using the Artistic Licence Ether-Lynx."
Ptarmigan Consulting used the off-line version of Colour-Tramp at their dedicated facility in Hong Kong to pre-programme the show. Amendments were then made as part of the final commissioning procedure.
