Element Labs Performs with Grammy Superstars
Element Labs set the stage for the recent 49th Annual Grammy Awards. VersaTube HDs spanned the stage, displaying images and text above performers at the Staples
Center in Los Angeles.
Lighting designer Bob Dickinson and Production Resource Group (PRG), called on Element Labs to create a large, single array of 792 one metre VersaTubes to suspend above the entire width of the stage. This was accomplished using 22 rows of VersaTubes, each 36 VersaTubes in length. They were attached with standard
Element Labs hardware to custom curved frames fabricated by PRG, then split into five separate sections that were loaded into the venue and connected together.
The system was driven by Element Labs D2 processors being fed from a Pandoras Box Media System with a DVI over fiberoptic connection. Content was delivered by the media server and live feeds from the video truck.
“One of the unique features of this show was the application of VersaTubes to display text,” says Rich Pierceall, director of sales and marketing for Element Labs. “It’s a rather unusual and, as we saw, effective use of the product.”
