Creative Stage Lighting from North Creek, NY supplied all the new equipment and the complete wireless system. This installation is in addition to Evangel's large existing lighting rig consisting of Wholehog 2 and Wholehog 3 Consoles, High End Systems x.Spots and Cyberlights, Morpheus Color Faders, Vari*Lite VL1000's and over 575 dimmers.
Koster Design of Branson, MO was responsible for the design and installation of the entire project. Kelly Koster and Mike Gormley of Koster Design first met with Bryan Meares from Evangel Cathedral at the High End Systems booth during LDI 2006.
The new gear was shipped directly to Creative Stage Lighting, where a staff of four worked exclusively on setting up the DL.2s, Wireless DMX and Axon Media Server to make sure the install went quickly with no downtime once on-site. The final package was then cased and trucked directly to the venue for the start of installation.
A three-day schedule was slated for the install which included the fixture hang, making all custom new DMX jumper cables, the wireless DMX install and the AXON integration.
Gormley was particularly pleased with the W-DMX system claiming: "This controls the largest permanent install of DL.2 units anywhere on the planet. During the installation, the W-DMX gear was installed, trained and operational within 15 minutes with no interference or operational issues."
