Deutsche Bank Derivatives Conference - Outer Sanctum
For the third year running, Anagram has provided Sound, Lighting, AV and IT services to Deutsche Bank’s global Derivatives Conference held at the Hotel Arts in Barcelona.
A very complex set required substantial pre-production design and testing of the embedded lighting in the UK before it was shipped to Barcelona. The completed design used Thomas Pixellines in the vertical columns, Griven Palco LED floods under the Perspex floor sections and a large number of dimmable fluorescents behind the curved Perspex back wall.
In addition to the embedded lighting in the set, conventional fixtures and moving wash lights were controlled by a Chamsys MQ100 moving light desk.
A Yamaha M7CL digital mixing desk supplemented by BSS Soundweb provided the audio control for a system fed by 13 radio microphones, 8 lectern and table mics and various VT replay sources.
Video production comprised two projected screens and a number of relay Plasma screens inside and outside the conference space, both fed by a 3-camera shoot and computer graphics and VT playback.
A complete show and event network was installed around the Hotel Arts to provide the client with high speed internet, high speed colour and B&W printing and access to crucial Conference databases. This was achieved with a custom rack mounted show server including a back up UPS, and a lot of cabling!
Further computers were installed at reception desks, transit desks, one-to-one meeting desks and a back of house office. All graphics operators also have a live link to the green room for instant presentation updates whilst the show is in progress.
