Medialon show control takes center
stage at Berlin’s theater in the Spielbank at Potsdammer
Platz (www.spielbank-berlin.de)
where the new erotic revue, “Belle et Fou: The Game of
Lust,” has opened with an international ensemble of
dancers and artists (www.belle-et-fou.de).
Ground Zero System integration, a specialist in show
control for installations, events and exhibitions with
an expertise in both theater and IT, makes even the
biggest systems easy to use by integrating Medialon
Manager and Internet technologies (Web 2.0). This makes
its systems reliable and controllable even through the
Internet with a standard web browser.
For “Belle et Fou” Ground Zero was challenged to control
a large array of equipment and design an interface so
the local technicians can change cues, change the order
of scenes, or even make completely new ones without
experiencing a steep learning curve.
Ground Zero has designed a touchscreen featuring one big
“Next” button. When the stage manager calls the next
cue, the operator has only to push the button.
Additionally, there are some buttons for effects, which
have to be timed live and not programmed in the
timeline.
Among the equipment controlled by
Medialon are a 24-track hard disk recorder Fostex D2424,
Yamaha DM1000 V 2 Audiomixer, 27 Eyevis 50-inch SVGA
rear projection cube, four Panasonic PT-D5500
projectors, two video servers Coolux Pandoras Box, an
Alcorn McBride DVM4 4-channel HDD-Videoplayer, a
Panasonic AG MX70 video mixer, and a Pioneer DVD player.
“A living show like ours has to be
updated with new show parts every month. It was our
first priority to be able to do this without learning a
complete new system. Medialon gave us this possibility
with an easy to handle graphical user interface,” says
Technical Director Jurij Mirtschin. |
