An impressive total of 150sq.m of R7-ER made up the LED backdrop, configured as a giant 16:9 aspect central screen, with two square IMAG side screens meaning that even the seats at the very back of the largest of the country's arenas was a viable prospect for the audience.
The majority of venues were supplied with a 10.16m x 6.1m central screen with the side screens measuring 5.08m x 5.34m.
CT's project manager for the tour, Steve Purkess, comments: "Our R7 screen has been used for a large number of high profile live events over the course of the year. For many applications it's the first choice and, because of its high resolution, all small or large screen formats look fantastic."
CT bought its first Lighthouse R7-ER panels in 2008 and, due to the success it has seen, is increasing its stock with an additional 72sq.m later in December.
Purkess adds: "The R7-ER has again proved a reliable touring product. The screen was driven using our Vista Systems' Spyder switcher, which allowed us to 'pixel match' to the Lighthouse LIP processor's native resolution, getting pixel for pixel representation of the HD cameras and playback. The picture quality achieved was fantastic."
