Lighting director Phil White and show projectionist Chris Gadd were instrumental in getting RADlite specified for the tour, having used the system before and knowing that lighting and video supplier Entec has also invested in RADlite systems.
Visuals are looked after during the show by Gadd, along with White and video aficionado Richard Hutton. These three are joined by super-tech Simon 'Boff' Howarth, another Entec regular, and rigger Danny Spratt. Lighting has again been designed by Dave Hill, who stepped the production values up yet another level this time around with the addition of the upstage arch, echoing one of the classic structural fundamentals from Pink Floyd's seminal Pulse tour.
All video content for the Australian Pink Floyd's three-hour show is produced by Damian Darlington and Bryan Kolupski. This is streamed into the RADlite via a capture card, and then edge-blended in the system to create the 60ft wide image needed to fill the arch shaped screen with projections from two Christie LX100 projectors. "There's no other cost-effective product on the market that can touch RADlite on this function," says Hutton.
