Integral to this major production was wireless lighting control, realised with LumenRadio's CRMX Nova systems. On 11 generator-powered lighting towers as far away as 2,100ft from the control center, LumenRadio controlled four DMX universes of High End intellaspots, PRG Bad Boys, and Color Kinetics ColorBlazes.
Provided by Felix Lighting of La Mirada, CA, the LumenRadio units overcame daunting challenges, not only linking several universes of DMX to locations well over a quarter mile apart, but doing so while peacefully coexisting in an environment saturated by other wireless traffic, including life safety, performance, production, and even a temporary WiFi network made available by AT&T to everyone on the grounds!
Dave McKinnon, Felix Lighting president, says, "Previously, events such as Coachella have exceeded the limits of available wireless technology. LumenRadio, with the innovative features of CRMX software, has eliminated the headaches associated with wireless lighting control."
