"For the complex setup that was spread over a long distance, the grandMA control system proved to be an invaluable tool. Its huge pre-programming abilities saved a lot of time during the design as well as during the programming part of the project development," says lighting designer Pawel Pajak.
One grandMA full-size and one grandMA light were used for the stage lighting and video server control. Additionally, another grandMA light controlled the searchlights using two wireless DMX lines. Two MA NSPs and grandMA 3D were also included in the event.
"Since the setup consisted of intelligent lights and video on stage with the searchlights being set on the other side of the river, we found working with the MA Net ethernet network very stable and reliable. The grandMA 'World'-function was particularly useful, as it allowed us to work on two or three different consoles at the same time during the programming," continues Pajak.
