BigFish lights Ozzy Osbourne announcement with Chauvet Professional Épix

At the ICE London show in February 2019, NetEnt - supplier of digital games to the online casino industry - announced that former Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne is the latest rock hero to be featured in its “NetEnt Rocks” series.

 

Setting the tone for the announcement on the Osbourne slot was a stand that featured sixty Chauvet Professional Épix Bar Tour fixtures from BigFish SRL Ltd. arranged to resemble guitar strings.

 

“This was the fourth year running that we were contracted by 2lk Design, the stand’s designers, to do the lighting,” says Steve Hubbard of BigFish. “This year it was decided that the main feature of the stand would be six large light strings encompassing the stand entrance and extending inside at its ceiling.”

 

Instructions from 2lk Design were that the Épix Bars be fully pixel controlled and able to show low-resolution video content. After considering the option of using external media servers, BigFish instead decided that the ChamSys MagicQ MQ500 would give them the most flexibility for programing on site.

 

Working with graphic designers from 2lk who provided the content in MP4 format, BigFish converted their material into CMV files that could be imported straight into the MQ500 internal media server. “In total, the MQ500 was running 28104 channels patched over 64 Art-Net universes,” says Hubbard.

 

Customized lighting boxes with diffused Perspex covers were used to house the Épix Bars. BigFish boosted the bars’ brightness by stripping them of all diffusers. The bars were driven by 10 Épix Drive 900 units.

 

Four Vesuvio II foggers were also used (in prior years, BigFish had used Geysers at the stand, but decided to go with the RGBA+UV Vesuvio units this February), as well as 16 Rogue R1 Wash and 12 Colordash Par Q12 IP units, plus a collection of Chauvet DJ Intimidator Hybrid 140SR, Corepar 80 USB, and Freedom H1 fixtures.
