Elation Platinum on ice in Nuremberg
- Details
Elation dealer and entertainment technology solutions provider sld mediatec GmbH has partnered with the team for the past seven years and the company’s head of lighting and rigging Sebastian Groß wanted to create ‘something special for the multisensory show that accompanies player introductions’.
The pre-game light show is used to create movement, energy and excitement before each home game. The Ice Tigers’ logo is illuminated in white light while the rink is awash in colors representing the team´s corporate design. Splayed beams of energetic light represent the players on the ice while the coloured ice rink reflects the dynamism of the Ice Tigers’ team.
A multisensory video presents the concept The ice rink belongs to the Ice Tigers as the player introduction sequence presents each individual player. The lights work with smoke and haze effects and the entire introduction show is accompanied by music.
“The Platinum 1200 Wash is exceptionally bright and puts down a nice flood of color, even from a high trim height,” comments sld mediatec’s Daniel Danzer. “With its 19 x 65W LED engine it produces color washes as bright as 1500W discharge fixtures and has plenty of power for this application. It also has a very nice zoom. We can zoom it out very wide to get more coverage or narrow it down for a tighter beam.”
Speaking of the Platinum FLX fixtures, he says, “With the hybrid FLX fixtures we have the option to use it as a beam light for sweeps of beams on the ice or as a spot. We can use the frost as well if we want to use it more as a wash light to get more colour saturation on the ice.”
