Dance Floor With people in Jock Booth
|
This nightclub won the prestigious
Club Systems International Best Nightclub 2007 Award. The opening of the first ever nightclub at
a resort as world famous as The Mirage called for a unique design and
installation.
Avalon Sound’s Richard
Worboys decided to use ShowCAD Artist as the control system and writes as
follows about the installation:
“This was quite a
complicated control system to setup. ShowCAD Artist was the central
control system that ultimately
controlled all the other elements.
We were directly
controlling many moving head fixtures and strobes,
cuing a Media Server
and a 96 x 80 resolution LED Matrix ceiling.

Taking full advantage of
Artist’s excellent MIDI and patching capabilities, we had 3 MIDI keyboards
(Edirol PCRM50 and 2 M Audio Radium49) and 2 Behringer BCF2000 fader panels. We
also implemented 3 Sustain pedals for foot control. The Behringer Fader panel
worked great for controlling the media server, with its 8 media layers. Using the
Behringer’s 8 faders, we patched the fader panel to control all elements via
different pages. The fixtures were set up in a basic Matrix layout to take
advantage of Artist’s powerful Matrix capabilities, not only using them for LED
control.
We also used an 8x8 VGA
matrix to switch between outputs to the 6 DL1 projectors, the LED Matrix.
We installed two VGA monitors
for Artist in the booth, providing
for better visibility and enabling us to comfortably
operate, programme and to preview video.”
