FT. LAUDERDALE, FL – In its second consecutive year broadcasting in HD on primetime television, the Miss Florida USA 2013 pageant again featured grandMA lighting consoles behind the scenes.
Staged in Davie’s Bailey Concert Hall on the campus of Broward University, the pageant was televised live to fans across the Sunshine State.
LD Stefan DeWilde deployed an expanded grandMA system, which featured an NSP (Network Signal Processor, which can expand the control system) and eight universes. “It was important to have the NSP,” he says. “It was essential to have everything networked on the show.”
He gives kudos to the grandMAs. “The consoles were fast with no lag in network communication. Shows like this always come down to flexibility, speed and consoles. We have a ton of equipment and very little time to put things together.”
The Orlando office of stage lighting rental and production company Christie Lites furnished the grandMA and Sharpy fixtures. “CEO Huntly Christie really came through to pull together this equipment,” says DeWilde. “The partnership between Christie and A.C.T is just great.”
A.C.T Lighting in the exclusive distributor of both grandMA and Clay Paky fixtures in North America.
