RNB Fridays Live was successfully transitioned from arenas to stadiums this year with Big Picture’s involvement ever present. The evolution of the show’s growth coinciding with the supply of LED, Camera systems and display technologies to suit.
LED configurations consisted of onstage columns of ROE CB-8, a main DJ riser of CB-8 with rolling sides to assist with the many changeovers, and two ROE MC-7 portrait IMAG screens.
Camera requirements were handled by our 3G Ross Carbonite 3ME system including two Fujinon long lens, two pit cameras and several onstage PTZ cameras.
VJ integration was deployed at FOH using a Barco E2 interfacing the needs of various acts with a series of fibre and matrix systems to create flawless changeover displays.
Keep in mind, this system was fully duplicated to help facilitate the challenging weekend festival scheduling.
