Walters commented, "I chose the new LSC Clarity system due to the efficiency in the way it handles Moving lights and LED programming. This was my first real outing with Clarity and although the software is extremely powerful, I didn't find it complicated at all. Actually I would have only looked at the manual 3 tm 4 times during the whole programming session."
Christmas Carols events, held each year in Australia's major cities during the summer month of December, are generally performed on outdoor stages. The events are televised nationally and attract large audiences, both at the venue and at home. Brisbane's event attracted some of the cream of Australia's talent including Guy Sebastian, Marina Prior, James Morrison, Troy Cassar-Daley and Paulini.
Brisbane Concert Lighting was again the main equipment supplier, supplying all control from LSC Lighting Systems, including Clarity (using six DMX universes) with two VX20 wings, five e24 Dimming Systems, five Delta Power Distros and three Delta DMX splitters. The LSC control equipment looked after 44 Martin Moving Lights, 32 LED Par 64s, 32 LED strips and over 72 Fresnels, Pars and Profiles.
Walters continued, "Clarity's effects engine is extremely powerful and doesn't leave you wanting anything. The LED pixel mapping is a massive time saver and allowed us to achieve really complicated looks. The 32 LED strips were mounted behind perspex panels in the stairs. Being able to run video and JPEG images through the stairs was such a big hit and gave the cameras some really interesting backdrops."
