XL provides Oasis world tour

For the large shows XL Video is providing two 8mm Mitsubishi 8mm screens stage left and right which provide playback to the majority of the audience at the outdoor/stadium shows. Each measures 10 modules wide by eight high.

Onstage, there are five columns of Barco MiTrix, each made up of 144 panels, a small increase to the four column arena touring version of the design. This five column MiTrix set up is also used for festivals.

Also integral to the original arena touring – and now the festival set up – are four SD robo-cams, three Catalyst media servers feed content to the MiTrix, and the HD robo-cam units which are swapped in for the outdoor/stadium gigs.

On the outdoor shows, to enhance sight lines for sections of the audience positioned at extreme angles to the stage, XL is supplying two additional Lighthouse R7 left and right LED screens, each five panels wide and four high.

The stadium package is completed with one of XL Video’s full HD PPUs including six Sony E50 HD broadcast quality cameras.

The main Mitsubishi side screen IMAG mix from the 10 cameras (6 operated and 4 robos) is controlled via a Snell & Wilcox Kahuna console. At strategic moments, elements of the IMAG – usually treated/effected for added visual flavour and colour – is also output to the MiTrix Columns.
