Board operator Barry Halpin confirmed that five of the SuperCycs were being used to rear-project onto a cyc immediately behind the band, while another is used to create a backlight effect as the band make their stage entry. In Pete Barnes’ design, the remainder are used dramatically as understage uplighters - firing up from the 4ft recess at a 60ft wide, clear perspex deck, treated with diffused gel.
Coemar’s SuperCyc 2.4 is a recent addition to the Panorama family of high power, wide angle CYM colour mixing cyc/wash fixtures. The company’s new TLT (Twin Lamp Technology) features two Philips MSR 1200/2 (or MSD) lamps mounted axially in parabolic dichroic cold mirror reflectors for 2400W of wash power and full pan and tilt (425° pan x 212° tilt) capabilities.
