One grandMA full-size plus another one as backup were networked via fibre optic cable with HP2626 switches and 14 MA NSPs. The MA NSPs were installed at the FOH position, and at the two main dimmer cities. From there the DMX signal was distributed to the fixtures. This grandMA also controlled one Catalyst media server feeding the decorative elements. A second system with one grandMA full-size plus backup and one MA NSP was connected to additional media servers for further video screens - the main video elements were handled by a Virtuoso.
There will be an indepth feature on Eurovision 09 in the July issue of Lighting&Sound magazine.
