UK - A set of three Compulite Vector Greens ran a complex lighting rig that included moving lights, media servers, LED screens and conventional lights on the recent X Factor live finals. Lighting designer for the finals was Dave Davey, with Bill Peachment, John Ford and Russ Grubiack working as programmers.

Peachment comments: "All 3 Vector systems performed very well on this fast moving show. We used a vector PC to back up the systems but this was never needed. I think that the Vector is a very fast and flexible desk to program on these complex TV shows. "

The lighting rig included: 4 Vari-Lite VL 3500 washes; 18 Vari-Lite VL 2000 washes; 29 Vari-Lite VL 3000 spots; 22 Vari-Lite VL 3000 washes; 2 Nova flowers; 18 Vari-Lite VL6c spots; 36 James Thomas PixelPar 90s; 46 James Thomas Pixel line 1044s; 12 Vari-Lite 1K Tungstens; 3 Chroma 12 RGBs from Pulsar; 20 ACL PAR bars; 14 ETC Source 4 revolutions; 3 Hippotizer media servers v.3; Compulite CompuDim 2000 dimmers; 4 Compulite ePorts (Etehrnet -> DMX) and 160 conventional lights.
