The show's visuals were designed by Martin Kubanka. He worked closely with lighting and video programmers and operators Michal Schmid and Tomas Lecky, who each used a grandMA full-size console for their respective departments.
Says Kubanka, "I have been using grandMA for at least 10 years on all my shows and I would not even think about using another brand, and especially not now, for shows like this which are seeing the increasing integration of video and digital light sources with the medium of lighting."
Slovakian lighting & sound production company Q-99, also based in Bratislava, supplied the equipment for Miss Universe Slovenskej Republiky 2010. It was one of the first ever companies to invest in the new generation of grandMA consoles soon after they launched in the late 1990s, and the serial number for their first grandMA is 36.
Q-99's Marek Ademik says, "From a rental standpoint, MA has been a great investment - the products are very reliable and just keep on working with minimum of fuss."
