Spectra+ and Company NA’s mission includes supplying lighting, video and rigging equipment for the event, including technical co-ordination and technical crew. Spectra+ and Company NA crew members will be working on site for approximately one month prior to the event.
Swedish television, SVT chose Spectra+ as the official lighting supplier and technical co-ordinator for Eurovision 2000 at the Stockholm Globe in Sweden, in an event which was critically acclaimed by the production industry. In 2002 Spectra+ was once again chosen from tough competition as the official lighting supplier for the massive event in Tallinn, Estonia. They will be looking to exceed expectations once again in Latvia.
Around 9,000 DMX channels will be used for this huge produciton. SVT lighting designer Per Sundin will once again design the lighting, which will be pre-programmed in Spectra+’s own WYSIWYG studio.
