In Altötting, a town of 13,000, he held a grand open air mass in the town's Kapellplatz Square with approximately 70,000 visitors. The lighting during the ceremony was done by the German production company Neumann & Muller.
The team used one W-DMX S-1 Transmitter and two W-DMX R-512 Receivers (one on each stage) and one Booster from Wireless Solution to control 12 HighEnd PC Beams and several daylight fresnels with dowsers at each stage. Lighting was programmed with a GrandMA Light console with backup. The distance was 250 meters (over 800 feet) from front of house to the stages, with numerous broadcast stations (ZDF; ARD; N24; NTV and others) each using their own wireless cameras and intercom systems to broadcast live to 35 transmitters worldwide, reaching a global audience of 250 million TV spectators. Thanks to the interference-free technology of W-DMX, everything worked fine without any problems.
Denis Rudolph, project manager says: "It's amazing what you can do with the W-DMX system - it is so reliable and so easy to set up!"
Wireless Solution recently introduced a new range of W-DMX products, the W-DMX T-512 Outdoor Transceiver, W-DMX D-512, the world's first wireless 3-way truss splitter, and W-DMX Micro, a mini DMX receiver with built-in battery backup of six to eight hours use, signal display indication and battery lifetime. In addition, the RDM specification on W-DMX was shown for the first time at the PLASA Show in London.
W-DMX by Wireless Solution Sweden AB is dual award winning, winning a PLASA Innovation Award for "taking wireless data to new levels" with the W-DMX indoor system in 2004, and also at LDI in Orlando 2005, where W-DMX won "Most promising prototype of the year" in the Lighting Accessory Category for its IP65 range of products. The system featured in L&SI's 'Great Wireless DMX Shoot-Out' in August.
