The facility with an estimated cost of RMB 450 million is located on a 40,000sq.m site that houses two theatres. The main theatre is a 1,600-seat Opera House and also includes a 400-seat Experimental Theatre, featuring a fully flexible seating and staging system that can be configured to meet the needs of a wide range of performances.
Strand is supplying 21 dimmer racks to the project with a mix of dimmer module types including 64 3kW and 5kW Sinewave dimmers. There are nearly 1800 dimmers in the system. The dimmer racks feature redundant tracking back-up processors and are connected via Ethernet to the control console. Strand 550i and 530i Consoles provide control for the project which also features network DMX data distribution and WYSIWYG visualization software. Installation begins in March and is scheduled for completion in May of this year.
