Performers on the night included DJ Lollo, DJ Bala, DJ Boogie, Ricky J, Xolandi Jazz Ne & DJ Touche, Master Jam, DJ Scott, DJ Zinhle and Uhuru. Playing to thousands of locals all the artists were quite impressed with the DB Tech audio system. The line array was rigged onto our scaffolding towers and finished with the artists print on our own supply of perforated material.

Two large screens slotted in nicely between the stage and towers, with Christie LHD700 projectors using the rear surface material. Live close-up shots of the performers combined with ArKaos visual effects blended in great with the lighting!

On stage we used a Matrix beam light to communicate to the crowds, while the party communication was designed with 16 beam lights, 8 Chauvet Legend SR30 moving heads, crowd-blinders and 4 Geyser FOG LED lights.

Overall the event was a huge success and we look forward to the next one!

Club Scene Film Production

Club Scene Film Production

A dedicated full technical AV solution was supplied for a film production house as work begun for a video shoot in Somerset West.

We supplied a 6m x 8m truss ground support structure with staging. While a full JBL VRX system was setup, all the emphasis was based around the lighting rig, expertly programmed and designed by our technical director Neville Leslie.

 

Club Scene Film Shoot Production

To create the intensity and show atmosphere we called in the big guns. That being, Robe’s new Robin Pointe lighting fixtures. These new lights have over 23 gobo’s and can adjust between spot and washlight beams. You can read more about them here.

To add to these amazing lights we unleashed our arsenal of LED lighting equipment included BriteQ spots, Versalite LED cans, 3D Lasers and added in our Futurelight scanners to create an emphatic nightclub lighting effect.

To top this off we added in a group of American DJ crowd blinders which were sure to create the frenetic strobe and colour effect across the venue and add that needed flash of power to the set.

Also supplied was our Pioneer DJ CDJ 900 and DJM600 DJ equipment.

The set construction was pre-planned using CAD software to design the technical layout within the venue. You can see more images from the production below.

ICCAT Conference 2013

ICCAT Conference 2013 – CTICC Professional Audio Visual Equipment Supplier

A 10 day international conference for ICCAT was hosted this month at the CTICC.  Preparation for an event of this magnitude was key and the technical aspects were brought together and all successfully installed due to months of planning and hard work.

Audio Visual Equipment

The Audio Visual equipment needed for the delegates was of paramount importance. A total of five large format projection screens were used. This included three new Grandview 16/12 screens which were purchased for the event, as well as, two 6m x 4m large format truss screens. All projection was done using Christie projectors programmed through the Analog Pulse switcher to incorporate 10 preview monitors which were setup on fold-back boards manufactured by our own staff.

Our brand new Db Technologies audio line array system was setup to provide accurate sound dispersion to all area’s of the massive hall. The T4 mid/high loudspeakers where very impressive, carrying a real clear signal to around 50m without any drop-out. Complimented by the S10 and S30 sub-woofers, the Db Tech line array proved to be an absolute perfect solution to providing full-range sound to the large-scale corporate and conference event requirements. Delegate conference microphone systems and interpretation booths were also provided by our partners to manage the translation.

All planning and venue layout was planned and designed using technical drawings to aid the client and crew in the setup of the event.

ICCAT Anual Commission Meeting - Fat Pony - CTICC - Hall 3 - 8

A stage for the main panel was setup and we rigged a 30m truss beam through the center of the hall to install lighting fixtures, which included profile spots and 1000w par lighting cans. All projectors were rigged to this structure to complete an impressive setup by AV Direct. The technical crew and operation staff really worked hard in the days prior to the event and were rewarded by successfully running an event of this stature.
