E\T\C UK at the MTV Europe Music Awards

E\T\C UK supplied large format PIGI and video projection for the MTV Europe Music Awards 2005, staged on November 3 at the Pavilhao Atlantico in Lisbon, Portugal.
Significantly, it was the first live outing for E\T\C’s new OnlyView control software which was used to soft-edge together 10 Barco R18 projectors to create one spectacular seamless upstage image, 32 metres wide by 9 metres high.
The video projection surface was made up of five motorised roller blind style screens that could be arranged in different formats. Each screen was fed by an overlaid front-projecting pair of R18s. The video projection was transmitted in high-definition with various inserts (both recorded and live) to match any required size, position or shape.
OnlyView is a multi-screen software capable of managing multi-projection using any kind of media (video, still images, text, sound, etc.) and any kind of projection system (video projectors, plasmas, daylight screens...) onto any type of screen shape.
It’s also the only software of its kind able to manage live video inserts without the addition of an interface.
In addition to supplying the 10 Barco R18 video projectors and the OnlyView system, E\T\C UK also supplied four PIGI 6kW large format projectors with rotating double scrollers to project onto a 52 metre wide by 14 metre high scenic proscenium arch that framed the stage and the five motorised video screens. These were soft-edged together and programmed on OnlyCue, E\T\C’s highly successful large format projector control software.
A big part of the success was due to both projection systems being rigged to ensure no sightline obstructions from the TV camera crane. The projectors were rigged onto trusses at 15 metres high, and the Barcos were installed vertically to match the screen design.
E\T\C UK’s Ross Ashton and Patrice Bouqueniaux from E\T\C Audiovisuel in France worked closely with MTV Europe Music Awards production manager Dominic Peissel, Richard Turner who was managing the video programming and Lee Lodge from Hello Charlie, the graphics agency producing the content. (CD)
