Compulite Vector used on ‘The Dome 31’

The Compulite Vector console has recently been used on the RTL television production of ‘The Dome 31’.
Filmed on September 3 at the Frankenhalle in Nuremberg, the three hour mega-show, which has run four times a year since 1997, featured over 30 top German up-and-coming pop stars. The line-up also included UK groups Faithless and Blazin' Squad, and US band Maroon 5.
With a stage of 450m2 and an audience of 10,000, the show's producers wanted the best in lighting as well as the best performers, so lighting designer Dave Davey was called on to ensure the show was the most spectacular yet.
The show had an extremely hectic schedule and Davey recruited Nigel Catmur as Show Lighting Director, Ross Williams as Catalyst operator, Russell Grubiak to run the audience lights and Bill Peachment to run all the moving lights on his Compulite Vector system.
The moving light rig consisted of 33 Martin MAC2000, 64 Martin MAC550, 32 Martin MAC600, 16 High End Studio Beam PC and 11 Studio Due City Colors.
Peachment commented: “The Vector was fantastic on the show, running nearly 170 spots over seven full DMX streams with 30 live bands; I could not have achieved so much in so little time on any other console. As always Stagetec Distribution were on hand in the unlikely event that any support was required.”
