The 100 artists are supported by an experienced lighting crew supervised by Olaf Eichler, and the newest generation lighting equipment from Clay Paky, Vari*Lite, and MA Lighting - all controlled by W-DMX.
Five Wireless Solution W-DMX S-1 Transmitters and 10 W-DMX BlackBox R-512 Receivers are utilised for wireless DMX transmission. In total, the technical crew can control three grandMA full-size, one grandMA light, seven MA NSP, two MA 2Port Node on PC and five MA Digital Dimmer 12 x 2.3kVA. The network controls, among other fixtures, 14 Clay Paky Alpha Spot HPE 300, 13 Vari*Lite VL3000 Spot, 17 VL3000Q Wash, 11 VL3500Q Spot and 11 VL1000TS/D.
Lighting designer Andreas Stübler says: "The Wireless Solution transmitter and receiver made several effects on the large mobile ice rink and on the two mobile stages possible. With them we could also easily supply VL1000TS/D in the spectator area with DMX."
Stübler continued: "Particularly, the new Clay Paky Alpha Spot HPE 300 made all involved technicians enthusiastic straight from the start. The performance of these fixtures in terms of light output and speed is certainly worth showing. The Vari*Lites with their saturated colours contributed much to the mood of the show."
