For convenient working practice it was necessary to design a complete system which includes all aspects of lighting: control, dimming, networking and media. The project was carried out by TSPR (Teatr Stroy-Proekt R) - the distributor for MA lighting in Russia. Alexei Kopylov and Alexandr Kontorovich were the lighting designers for the project.
In order to light the main auditorium, with 795 seats, 66 5kVA dimmer-channels, 300 3kVA dimmer-channels, 524 control channels for moving lights and about 1,400 channels for media servers were required.
A grandMA full-size was chosen as the main lighting console. Additionally a server with grandMA onPC software and two MA NSP's were used as a backup system.
For video projection three media servers were installed with grandMA video software. Projection is performed using two Publitec beaMover 57 and one Sanyo unit.
