USA - John Wiseman of XLTV Los Angeles and Chris Mounsor of XL Video UK have joined efforts as video contractors for Roger Waters 2007 World Tour. The massive LED backdrop consists of a 60ft x 30ft Lighthouse R16 LED screen (216 panels) and is supported by a Barco Encore System, two Grass Valley turbo video drivers, and a four-camera digital PPU with Barco R12+s for Imag.

Production design was conceived by Roger Waters and LD Marc Brickman and manned by video director Alastair MacDiarmid and his crew, LED techs Clark Anderson, Icarus Wilson-Wright, Rob Maloney and John Scruggs.

John Wiseman, president of XL Video, notes: "This is a perfect execution between our UK and US offices. It was a great effort by myself and Chris Mounsor, but truth be told, we were just the pretty faces, all the hard work was done by Phil Mercer."
