TECHNOLOGY ONSLAUGHT AT THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST

Cape Cross is proud to be an official supplier to the Eurovision in Düsseldorf, providing individually customised solutions for the competition. The DOP for the event is Jerry Appelt.

Cape Cross was responsible for the biggest technology package of the 56th Eurovision. Approx. 135 trucks carrying 40 tons apiece were used to deliver the lights, the LED equipment, the rigging and the power supply to the hall. Well over 300 Cape Cross employees took part in the construction and installation of the massive technical set-up. Over 2,200 spot units were used to create over 31,000 lighting effects. These included over 1,100 moving, automated light sources and another 1,000 multi-functional spots, including LED lights mounted on trusses totaling almost nine kilometres in length. The LED wall is 60 meters wide and 18 meters high and, including the spotlight equipment surrounding it, covers an area of over 1,300 square metres.
