Stefaan Michels and Jeff Bailey also worked alongside Strachan to supply a 18m x 6m V18 Nocturne screen and two Barco HD20k projectors onto 2 x 21ft x 12ft side screens resulting in spectacular images throughout. The V18 Nocturne screen was a key feature of the production design and was used mostly for fighter's entrances for their video stings.
Strachan commented, "The speed in which the Nocturne screen went up was a real help with the time restraints of the schedule, fantastic."
Bill Martin was overall project manager with Ian Jones heading up the video element and Cameron Bannister the lighting.
Working with Delta Sound, Ben Milton (account manager) assisted Strachan with the overall sound package. Milton provided six dV-DOSC Line array hangs, 10 per hang positioned strategically around the ring.
Working with lighting designer Frank Mels, PRG supplied a selection of VL3000s spots, GS Beams, GLP impressions, Colour Block DB4, Bad Boys and Sunstrips to illuminate the stage with 42 CCT 2K fixtures to light the ring and catwalk. These fixtures where used to enhance the boxer's entrances to the ring and also added effects around the arena for the audience.
