WYSIWYG for Rock in Rio 2004
Cast Software has announced that, for the first time, the upcoming ‘Rock in Rio 2004’ festival show will be pre-programmed using their software WYSIWYG Perform. Rock in Rio is one of the biggest European festivals, and the organisers expect over 500,000 people to attend the event, which takes place in Lisbon later this year.
Bright Preproductions of Germany have been hired to provide the WYSIWYG services for the event. Bright are members of the WYSIWYG Certified Service Providers program and they will supply services and WYSIWYG Perform Systems for the on-site pre-programming for the show. Totalling more than 4,000 channels, they will offer a full simulation of the automated rig for the Palco Mundo which consists of approx 100 moving lights hung on nine moving trusses, giving the LDs of the headlining acts the ability to perfectly pre-cue their show, allowing them a creative and time freedom that they are normally unable to achieve.
Lighting designer Peter Gasper and lighting director Danny Nolan say that they wanted to have a WYSIWYG pre-programming suite on site, in order to give the LDs the possibility to get the maximum out of the rig they have designed.
