Medialon is rockin’ with “Jersey
Boys,” the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical at the
August Wilson Theatre. “Jersey Boys” tells the story of
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons who achieved fame and
fortune -- they sold 175 million records worldwide
before they were 30 -- in the heyday of rock ’n roll.
Medialon controls the on/off functions of the show’s
four Sanyo XP55 projectors using serial over IP and cues
a 5-node Dataton WATCHOUT video playback system via a
signal from the lighting console. “Medialon integrates
with both the lighting system and video playback system
and acts as ‘digital glue,’” notes Timothy Owen Mazur of
Sound Associates.
The project also took advantage of several of Medialon's
unique features which included Timeline Synchronization,
where programmers use Medialon's interface to program
synchronized shows using a timeline metaphor for
positioning; Software Control, enabling the system to
control any software application from simple keystroke
emulation to complex IP commands; and IP Control
allowing for the execution of commands over IP.
The projections for “Jersey Boys” were designed by
Michael Clark with Paul Vershbow the main programmer.
At Sound Associates, which provided the projection gear,
Pat Green was the Medialon specialist/programmer and Tim
Mazur was the project director. |
