SHANGHAI, China – Much of the lighting used for the China Pavilion at Shanghai Expo 2010 is being controlled by Compulite Vector Red, Blue, Green, Orange and Ultra Violet consoles with Compulite Vector Node, ePort, eSync also used for programming and control. The Shanghai Expo, which runs for six months from May through October, 2010, is expected to draw between 70 and 100 million spectators. The exhibits cover an area that is approximately 5.28 square kilometers in size.
The China Pavilion, marked by a red, upside-down pyramid-shaped structure, is, not surprisingly, the biggest and tallest at the Expo. Its total floor area is larger than 26 soccer fields and it extends 63 meters skyward.
China Pavilion exhibits include "Wisdom journey," where Si Tudun from Guangzhou Jimei Design engineering company used a Vector Green.
Another exhibit area, "Urban Being," overseen by Shanghai Yongjia, uses a Medialon system's MIDI signal to control lighting via a Compulite Vector console. The MIDI signal cues the audio system as well.
King Chou from Guangzhou Coemar (Compulite's distributor in China, and the supplier for the Vector consoles for 2010 Expo) used Compulite's Vector red and Vector PC to program the lighting and video, including an area portraying the diversity of urban life with a multitude of LEDs in light boxes.
For another pavilion exhibit area – the "study hall" – King Chou is using a Compulite Vector Red for a series of small lights that get turned on, layer by layer, symbolizing the "long road of study."
For the "Urban Planet" exhibit, lighting programmer Zhang Zuoqiang synchronized the lighting, sound and video with Vector's MIDI timecode.
