Catalyst Supports Royal Variety Performance
The 2007 Royal Variety performance utilized Catalyst digital media servers to drive its video content. Catalyst was programmed and operated by Ian Reith, who provided his server along with comprehensive content collection.
The Royal Variety Show was staged at Liverpool Empire Theatre, produced by ITV Productions and presented by Philip Schofield and Kate Thornton. It featured a star-studded line up of performers including Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Bon Jovi, James Blunt, Seal, Katherine Jenkins, Got Talent winner Paul Potts and numerous others.
Lighting designer Al Gurdon and producer Glen Middleham both specified Catalyst onto the project, so Reith supplied his Version 4 server to feed images to a front projection screen, a main upstage video wall and also to Barco Mitrix panels.
The majority of the content was created by Reith, with special material for Bon Jovi’s set produced by Projected Image Digital’s Nev Bull. The brief for the Bon Jovi content was to provide a realistic ‘wall of light’ effect with up to 100 fixtures chasing in specific formations.
Once programmed, the Catalyst system was triggered via a WholeHog lighting desk operated by Reith.
