W-DMX in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Countdown Ceremony
Tens of thousands of people from all over the world gathered together last week at Tiananmen Square in Beijing to celebrate the one-year countdown ceremony of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
Within the Tiananmen Square venue, several large lighting towers were rigged with more than 300 computerised lighting fixtures plus several powerful searchlights, totaling more than 500 units in all. All of these lighting fixtures were controlled with only four lighting consoles.
To achieve the multitude of lighting changes while overcoming the difficulty of the long transmission distance without any cables, Leifull Light and Sound of Guangzhou proposed an effective solution. They supplied four W-DMX systems from Wireless Solution Sweden AB to control the searchlights and the area light of the Tiananmen Tower, and used a 6dB high-power antenna to guarantee the signal’s stability.
The entire W-DMX system performed flawlessly from the time lighting programming commenced on 5th August to the end of the ceremony on 8th August. After the ceremony, W-DMX was unanimously recognized as an outstanding product by the experts involved with the project. Lighting designer Sha Xiaolan said: “It is so stable and user-friendly.”
