LINKOPING, Sweden -The interactive and 3-D features of Dataton Watchout multi-image display and presentation software will continue to be used by German electro pop pioneers, Kraftwerk, in their concerts throughout 2013.
Kraftwerk will perform The Catalogue 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 at the Sydney Opera House starting May 24. The band will perform one studio album in full at each concert, combining it with stunning visualbackdrops, including interactive 3-D projections, sound and animation.
Dataton Watchout is distributed in Australia and New Zealand by Watchout premium partner Interactive Controls Pty Ltd.
Fredrik Svahnberg, Dataton marketing director, says, “For each of the eight shows, Watchout manages projected 3-D content on a large stage backdrop creating a powerful abstract presence in front of audiences wearing polarized 3-D glasses. To create the lighting effects on the four illuminated controller desks, a Pixelgate LED video controller uses an additional DVI output from the main screen with the Watchout Tier feature. The main timeline in Watchout is chasing timecode from Kraftwerk synthesizers (MTC converted into SMPTE). The Kraftwerk synthesizers are also used for live visual interaction controlled via MIDI commands.”
