A Jands Vista L5 Was Chosen by Lighting and Visuals Designer to Control Lighting

Ukraine-A Jands Vista L5 was chosen by lighting and visuals designer,Rob Sinclair,to control lighting and media for British rock legends,Queen.Their recent string of high profile shows featured American Idol star Adam Lambert as lead singer.

 

The first highly anticipated show truly tested everyone's technical and creative skills.Performed in front of enormous crowds(estimated at up to 500,000 people)in Independence Square,Kiev,Ukraine-the concert was televised live as part of the Euro 2012 Football Championships as well as streamed online.

Although Sinclair has been a keen Vista user for a number of years,this was his first experience using the new flagship L5 console.Choosing to do so on a show of such stature and visibility was a real testament to his confidence in the reliability and flexibility of the Vista family.

Sinclair's design concept began with the classic look of the massive Queen PAR can rigs of the 1970s and 80s.It was then evolved into a contemporary version by taking advantage of the latest LED,automation and control technologies.

The touring rig featured over 200 moving lights arranged on six moving pods over the stage that were able to shift into different positions throughout the show.

Custom video-co-ordinated by Sinclair-was played back from a Catalyst media server that was also under control of the Vista L5.

"The L5 has definitely been designed to make controlling even large and complex shows like this extremely easy,"says Sinclair.
