Jands Vista L5 Controls Multi-Media Experience at 5LINX International Training EventA Jands Vista L5 media and lighting control console, running the latest Vista v2 software, was used by designer Geoffrey Platt to help deliver US telecoms company 5LINX Enterprises' corporate vision to over 8,000 sales delegates in Atlanta, Georgia in September. Platt, of Atlanta-based Production People Inc. (PPi), used the Vista L5 with another of the family, a Vista T2, running in full tracking back-up to deliver a stage production featuring video, lighting, and LEDs. Platt has worked for PPi for the last five years as a creative and concept designer for scenic, video, and lighting. Although he has been an enthusiastic user of the Vista family for a number of years, this was his first chance to use the new flagship Vista L5. The L5 was controlling over 100 moving lights -- a mix of Vari-Lite VL3000 spots, VL3500 washes, Martin Professional MAC 250 washes and Clay Paky Sharpys -- as well as conventional light sources and 140 LED fixtures including Chroma-Q Color Block, Philips CK ColorBlast and ColorBlaze, Chauvet Colorado TriPAR, and Alkalite Opto Strips. All lighting equipment was supplied by rental company 4Wall Las Vegas. Two Catalyst media servers were controlled by the Vista L5 to supply video throughout the event's presentations. Platt was assisted by co-programmer, Greg Haygood. Platt shared: "I think it's the fastest console currently on the market for programming -- the timeline interface makes all the difference in the world" he enthuses, concluding "Jands has done a fantastic job on the L5, building a product with 'the future' in mind. I am very excited to see how things will develop from here."
