Eurovision 2010

Just a note to say we are using Catalyst again at the Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo this year. Just three servers plus three backups opposed to the 22 servers last year!

In a major departure from previous shows - we have very little 'video' on the show, but are mainly using Colorblock DMX fixtures to create ultra low resolution 'screens'. We are then all of the DMX data with the lighting consoles so we can run in tandem with them. Fun to spot what content is video driven and what is from the lighting consoles.

We are running some 3D content through a video 'chandelier' made up of 2000 XSpheres. There are a couple of video elements, with the projection for the opening of the final, as well as some set pieces containing LED panels.
