MIAMI GARDENS, FL. — Chauvet Professional took on the stage during the halftime show of the 2013 Discover Orange Bowl at Sun Life Stadium and broadcasted by ESPN. Nexus 4×4 eye-candy wash lights accompanied country singer Jake Owen, who entertained the large audience as the halftime headliner.
Dallas-based Randy Taylor, lighting designer and founder of Design & Productions design and creative services company, specified 36 Chauvet Professional Nexus 4×4 pixel-mapping fixtures for the show. Taylor placed three arrays of Nexus 4×4 on stage behind Owen: a central wall of 20 fixtures, flanked by two smaller walls of two-by-four wash lights. During the entire performance, the Nexus 4×4 delivered effects and acted as audience blinders, becoming the main lighting attraction on the stage.
Nexus 4×4 has 16 x 20-watt RGB COB LEDs and features interlocking hardware to build large arrays.
For the halftime show, the Chauvet team operated the wash lights through Kling-Net control on the ArKaos Mediamaster software. The cues were triggered via DMX from the grandMA lighting console, using the Enttec DMX USB PRO hardware/software interface.
“We are thrilled that lighting designer Randy Taylor decided to use the Nexus 4×4 lights at the Orange Bowl halftime show, after seeing it in action at LDI 2012,” said DeAnna Padgett, national sales manager for Chauvet Professional. “Nexus 4×4 is a beautiful, versatile fixture that looks great in arrays and really shines in a concert setting.”
