XL Video supplied all the video equipment and crew for the tour, including cameras, Barco MiTrix screen, projection and PPU. The account is project managed for XL by Des Fallon, who says: "Ivan has pulled together a great team again, it's always a pleasure to work on one of his tours, working with Paul, Phil and Judy is cool, we all clicked from the off."
The cameras were all mini cams, dotted about the stage in odd and apparently random places. Four of them were Sony robotic fixtures with a series of preset positions, operated live by engineer Gerard Corey during the show.
All the cameras were fed to a pair of 14 10ft projection screens either side of the stage, configured so Woodhead could output up to four separate images of the band simultaneously, using the EMEM timeline facility in his GVG Kayak mixer to programme all the shot changes.
