Greece - Greek lighting designer George Tellos turned to the brightness and ease of Martin LC Series LED panels on a recent live broadcast of the 2007 Arion Music Awards. The event, which honours Greece's top musical artists, was broadcast on Mega Channel from Taekwondo stadium in Athens.

"The main idea for using the LC Series was to establish a 3D look for the stage and the LC panels fit perfectly in our application - size, configuration and transparency," comments Tellos.

Tellos lists several reasons for his choice of the LC panels: brightness, saturation, quick and easy setup, and wide angle viewing. "I was impressed with the brightness and the resolution of the LCs," he states. "Also, the way of setting up and configuring the system is very easy. The construction is robust, which is very important for touring and when you add in the transparency effect, then the only creative limitation is your mind."

The Martin LC panels were supplied by Martin's Greek distributor, Panou Audiovisual S.A. Tellos acknowledges their support: "Many thanks to Joanna Moulou and Michael Kontogiannis of Panou for their support and for the opportunity to be the first in Greece to use the LC panels."
