Held at the iconic Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, the 12th ADIPEC Awards celebrated excellence and innovation across the global energy sector.


Hosted by ADNOC, the event required a premium audio, video and lighting solution that reflected the prestige of one of the industry's most significant awards programmes.


Evolution Technical was appointed to deliver the complete technical solution, combining large-format LED displays, professional audio systems, architectural lighting and advanced signal control to support the awards ceremony, gala dinner and live entertainment throughout the evening.

The Challenge


Delivering technical production for a prestigious awards ceremony demanded a seamless integration of multiple AVL systems within one of the UAE's most prestigious venues.


The production required high-resolution LED Screens for branded content, sponsor media and award sequences, alongside premium audio reinforcement for speeches, video playback and live entertainment. Lighting needed to enhance the stage environment while complementing the elegance of the ballroom, and every technical system had to operate reliably through a centralised network infrastructure.


Achieving flawless synchronisation across video, lighting, audio and control systems was essential to maintaining the pace and quality of the live event.

The Solution


Evolution Technical designed and delivered a fully integrated AVL solution centred around a large-format indoor LED display, driven by Watchout media servers to manage branded content, sponsor assets, presentations and seamless show transitions.


The stage environment was enhanced using Astera Titan Tubes, Astera AX5 fixtures, Robe moving lights and Chauvet fixtures. Custom RGBWW LED cove lighting was integrated into the stage stairs, while LED beam fixtures surrounding the podium added depth and visual impact throughout the ceremony. Lighting control was managed through a GrandMA lighting system, providing precise programming and show execution.


Audio reinforcement was delivered using an L-Acoustics KARA line array system with SB18 subwoofers, complemented by X12 front fills and stage monitors, all powered by LA12X amplifiers. A Yamaha QL5 digital mixing console with RIO stage boxes ensured clear, balanced audio for award presentations, speeches, multimedia playback and live performances.


To provide reliable system integration, all AVL components were networked through a centralized Luminex infrastructure supporting Dante, Art-Net and AVB protocols. Redundant signal paths and real-time system monitoring ensured dependable performance throughout the event.


The main PA and lighting systems were supported by Litec truss structures, providing clean sightlines and robust structural support while complementing the venue's elegant ballroom environment.
