Blitz managing director Paul Hutton commented: "Blitz strives to ensure that it provides a total AV solution for its clients by combining industry expertise with the highest quality technology that meets each venue's unique requirements. Having worked with Qwerk on a number of projects, we understand their needs and are able to provide the company with a one-stop solution for projection, cameras and graphics. All this combined with the technical experience of hosting such large events successfully."
Equipment supplied by Blitz included two projection screens, digital mixing desks to support the BBC cameras at the venue, Sanyo XF 45 10,000 ansi-lumen projectors with back ups to minimize downtime and two digital Aston Ethos VIP graphics generators. The two screens were butted together to display images on a 4:3 ratio for large format messages and holding logos, and the 16:9 displayed the speakers on stage as well as the party's superimposed name straps.
