Gary Westcott was responsible for the lighting design. The show was pre-programmed and transferred to the grandMA full-size, although the team also had the chance to optimize the show locally for a further two days. The consoles were programmed by Demfis Fyssicopulos, with Andrew Findley responsible for programming the media server.
Two grandMAs were integrated in a multi user network together with two pocket PCs. One grandMA was used to control around 180 moving lights, while the second one was used for conventionals. "This not only allowed me to create a 'super grandMA' with six touch-screens, 40 faders and 80 executor buttons, but also allowed the guest LDs trigger punch cues from one of the consoles as I worked on the other", explained the operator. One pocket PC was required to define the Pan-/Tilt settings whereas the second one was used for the troubleshooting with defective units. The third grandMA was used for the media server.
