WERCHTER, Belgium – Lighting director and lighting op Jesse Blevins directed this summer’s Lenny Kravitz light show at the TW Classic Festival in Belgium from a Martin M1 lighting console with high res custom video content played back on a Martin Maxedia Broadcast. Live video of Kravitz was integrated in the light show and broadcast on a triangle-shaped video screen. Capture of the live video stream was done via the Martin MCC card for the Maxedia Broadcast, which meant that frame delay was minimal and latency was low between the performers on stage and the live video on screen.
