Vector system used on Royal marriage blessing
Compulite has announced that its Vector control system was recently used in Windsor Castle for the wedding blessing for The Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker Bowles.
Lighting director Bernie Davis used his own Vector Green control system to control a discreet rig of conventional lighting, supplied by ELP, as the aim was for an unobtrusive installation and a natural look.
Console operator Roy Adcock was using a Compulite desk for the first time, but had no problems getting the hang of the Vector’s versatile graphic user interface.
Davis said: “While the effects engine and sixteen DMX universes were not used to their full potential on this occasion, the easy to read touch screen controlled groups made programming extremely quick and easy. The lighting control position was from the world's smallest Portakabin - only 12' x 8' for lighting desk, dimmer cabinets, monitors and communications, and even some sound terminations, so the compact size of the Vector Green fitted in well. The Portakabin was shoe-horned into the building works outside the chapel alongside the GE generators.
The Vector iControl iPAQ based wireless remote control was really useful yet again - we simply rigged an Ethernet cable through the window and placed an access point in the organ loft. This gave me remote control of the desk throughout the chapel, which is essential in a building of this type.”
