SCHLADMING, Austria – Wireless Solution Sweden AB, manufacturer of W-DMX wireless DMX technology, worked with Ampco Flashlight Rental, based in Utrecht the Netherlands, to use the new Wireless Solution W-DMX G4 system to control dozens of moving lights, LED fixtures and conventional lighting fixtures at the FIS Alpine Ski World Championship 2013 Opening Ceremony. The event took place Feb. 4 in Schladming, Austria.
Lighting designers Frank Lischka, Daan Oomen and Jeffrey Goes from The Unit Showcontrol placed lighting fixtures over a widespread area along the ski slope and the finish area. Some of the many lighting positions were only accessible by helicopter. W-DMX transmitters and receivers were placed in distances from 50m to 500m of each other.
W-DMX allowed the lighting team the opportunity to get DMX512 at places that were impossible to get to with hard-wired connections. Large scaffolding constructions and ski slopes were impossible to come across without damaging the specially prepared ski slope finish area. Eight universes were used, of which four were W-DMX G4 wireless connections.
