During the pandemic lockdown in Dubai, I learned how to use OBS, VMIX, advanced NDI management and everything related to streaming online to perform the technical side of the 7 sessions, with the record label 2THUNDERSDUBAI and the spanish collective HardPerformances.
We used the NDI BIRDDOG P200, 1 GOPRO3+, 1 chineese GOPRO copy, RESOLUME and OBS, 1 video capture card Blackmagick Design Shuttle USB, a low cost HDMI video capture card and a ROG STRIX SCAR II laptop. We used also some par leds, to try to bring some light in the room (strong sun on the backside).
The PTZ control of the BIRDDOG camera was done with a gaming joystick.
The scenery was Marina in Dubai.
CARL COX at SOHO BEACH
I developed the light and screens design, based on a third party concept. I handled the lights operation and the technical management of the event.
In the main stage we used around 650 clamps to attach the screens to the different truss structures. The screens were attached to pipes and later those pipes attached to trusses acting as a spinal cord. Later they were pulled up with hoists.
Around 148 fixtures were used (beams, wash, spots, city colors…). Not including lasers and flames effects that were rented.
For control we used Avolites Quartz plus wing, and 3 Madrix Luna 8 to spread the signal with ArtNet to 3 different main areas.
Can’t remember the amount of coffee…

VIDEOMAPPING AT EL CHIRINGUITO IBIZA (DUBAI)
They have 2 big masks in white backround and they want to project video on them, so they asked for a permanent video mapping installation (but to remove on summer time).
We achieved 2 units 10K lumens videoprojectors, made the outdoor enclosure for the video projectors, and mapped the masks with Resolume Arena 6.
Pending to add filters to the enclosures to avoid dust and salt go inside. Are the first ones we did, so now we know how 🙂
Technical details:
– Video projectors SINOSAL PL-39
– Matrox Triple Head
– Video extender ATEN VE600A
