Congo - The Eurovision
The very first show run on the Congo was the Eurovision Song Contest final. The most
prestigious annual live broadcast in Europe with over 250 million viewers.
"It was a fantastic experience to see how four operators with
completely different backgrounds handled the system, and how well
it responded. It worked past our initial expectations." (Ulf Sandström)
Four Congo operators controlled 37 universes of lighting including
• Over 300 moving lights
• A large amount of conventional lights
• 16 Catalyst media servers
The systems were networked, and all shows saved on a mutual File Server. Every system
had a synchronised backup.
Let's put it this way. Congo is capable.
