If LED walls are available and our visuals team cannot be on site, some minor visual content may be provided by Chic
Tech Production Manager.
If agreed per contract: Our Live Video show consists of live mixed visuals, treated and mixed by Chic Visuals Director,
Ian Woodall. When agreed with local production, we may carry a Video Control System with HD input and output. Where
possible, we will take a feed from the house camera system to mix with our visuals.
Artist Video Control (AVC) - We require approximately 6x4ft (1,80 x 1,20mt) floor space for control setup of our
Visuals Director, side of stage, opposite audio monitor world, or F.O.H, where he may see the screen and the band.
Proper protection (security barriers etc.), AC outlets and lighting is necessary for the control work space and seating
arrangements must be taken in advance to allow sufficient space for the equipment and the operator to operate safely.
Please provide a table suitable for this workspace.
** PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR PREFERRED POSITION IS AT FOH NEXT TO THE SOUND ENGINNER **
DVI or HDSDI feed to the screen: supplied at our AVC. Direct feed to screen with the minimal latency (frame delay)
possible.
LED Walls:
We have a Resolume system to map custom LED, map lighting LED fixtures, output to video strips etc.
We require details of the screen resolution, layout mapping, processor requirements and processor location in relation to
the screen DVI or HDSDI feed to the screen supplied at AVC. Direct feed to screen with the minimal latency (frame
delay) possible. If there are any other Video elements on or around stage we would like to use them.
Upstage LED Wall: (backdrop) with a high resolution pixel pitch suitable for live HD cameras with HD video input. We
would like to achieve the maximum size possible (stage and reasonable common sense permitting) therefore please
provide stage dimensions in addition to the LED screen configuration.
Please supply all camera and LED system information at the earliest time possible and please discus all visuals related
info at the earliest time possible to Ian Woodall [email protected]
NOTE:
In case we should not travel with our full video production, a minimal video content package may be downloaded upon
request. Please contact John Ryan.
