60 IN BRIEF - EMEA
LED Strip Studio work on its biggest TV installation yet - Eurovision Song Contest.
LED Strip Studio (LSS) is no stranger to TV installations, previously working on national shows such as X-Factor and Britain’s Got Talent, however, its latest installation was the biggest yet - Eurovision Song Contest. Using over 4,000-metres of its digital LED strips, resulting in over 170,000 individual LED diodes, a large amount for a software system to handle. To accommodate the amount of power required, LSS used 50 of its LEC3
devices, both powered and standalone versions, which was controlled directly from an MA Lighting grandMA console and Art-Net protocol. The LEC3 handled the ‘translation’ from Art-Net to LSS’ SPI protocol. LSS decided to use the BlackMagic Intensity PRO grabber to capture the HDMI stream from the media server to the LED strips. However, Eurovision required a full 60fps stream, which was unfortunately, not possible directly from the current software.
