LOS ANGELES – Schnick Schnack Systems LED accent lighting literally spins with the hot seats on NBC’s ‘The Voice.’ Chosen by designer Oscar Dominguez of Darkfire Lighting Design, Schnick Schnack Systems’ camera-friendly, calibrated colors light the triangular podium on the front of each judge’s chair. Naturally, whenever a critical red decision button is pushed, the LEDs behind the Plexiglas podium change colors and the chair spins around.
“The system consists of 42 x10-inch LED S-Strips and 14x 5-inch LED S-Strips, all driven by a Schnick Schnack Systems Long Distance (LD) Controller,” says Melanie Lekaj of TMB Sales. “It proved to be a trouble-free installation and was easily integrated into the show’s DMX control system.” She adds, “That’s the beauty of the Schnick Schnack system; it’s specifically designed to be 100 percent color consistent and reliable, and it is very easy to install, patch and program in stage sets of all kinds.”
Schnick Schnack Systems strips used on The Voice are designed for backlighting set elements such as stairs, edging strips and translucent surfaces or for accentuating set edges and profiles. They can be used as a backlight with only 3-inch clearance from the backlit material, creating a harmonious blending of the individual LEDs within a strip. Without diffusion material in front, they can also be used as a low-resolution LED video matrix for direct flicker-free viewing.
Made in Germany, Schnick Schnack Systems offers a full range of professional LED products. TMB is the exclusive North American distributor.
