EVOLUTION TECHNICAL AT THE ADIPEC AWARDS

Evolution's Technical Department supplied the full AV scope for the 2022 installment of the annual ADIPEC AWARDS, held at Emirates Palace on 31st October. Working with Evolution's Design, Projects and Production teams to offer the best technical solutions to fit requirements, Technical supplied and seamlessly tied in all Audio, Video, Lighting and Power elements of the show.

Video was driven by Dataton WATCHOUT servers which supplied animated graphics, VT's and winners slides to three 10m W x 4.5m H 2.6mm Indoor screens as well as a custom screen behind the MC position masked to give a circular shape, with custom content displayed on all canvasses and special custom animated content designed and based on the ADIPEC Logo.

Audio deployed a L-Acoustics KARA system with central room fills and SB18 subwoofers for full coverage of the ballroom, as well as LA12X monitors flown from the main truss for stage foldback, allowing a completely clear stage design. ClearComms were deployed for both the Client and Show teams to communicate during rehearsals & show, with a UR4D RF package deployed for all speaker requirements as well as PSM1000 IEM kits for the MC to have comms with the showcaller.

The Lighting department delivered a combination of over 150 fixtures, choosing from our stock of ROBE BMFL Spots and BMFL Blades for breakups and stage wash, Astera TITAN Tubes for effects and room light above the audience, Chauvet R2 beams for awards moments as well as 80x Astera AX5 wireless pars which were utilized as Table centrepieces with custom crowns 3D printed and made especially for the show. LX Control came from a GrandMA2 Full Size which also controlled custom RGB set piece fixtures produced by Evolution Scenic and which acted as single pixels, bringing the upstage side to life with Lighting Effects

The delivery team were on a tight schedule for installation as the venue was booked out up to 48hrs before rehearsals and show, so efficiency was key on the load in and build up, with overnight and day shifts overlapping to install the full scope in under 36hrs. This allowed the client the critical show run through and rehearsal time needed for such an important event.
