Audio Visual Installation at Castaway Music Theatre, Goole

We are pleased to announce the successful completion of another audio visual installation project, this time at the Castaway Music Theatre in Goole. Our team has significantly enhanced the theatre’s lighting and projection capabilities, creating a more immersive and engaging experience for both performers and audiences.

The core of the upgrade involves the installation of four Andolite 10-way pre-wired lighting bars. These bars are strategically suspended from the existing wooden beams using threaded bar and robust, heavy-duty L-shaped brackets, ensuring a secure and stable rigging system. This new lighting infrastructure provides a versatile platform for a wide range of stage lighting configurations.

To enhance the theatre’s projection capabilities, we installed a bright and high-resolution Panasonic VZ580 WUXGA projector. Boasting 5000 lumens, this projector delivers crisp, clear images even in environments with ambient light. The projector is securely mounted on the first lighting bar using a B-Tech projector mount bracket and pole clamp, optimizing its positioning for optimal projection.

For convenient connectivity, we installed a local HDMI connection plate at the front of the hall. This allows the theatre to easily connect a variety of devices, enabling them to use the projector for presentations, displaying music videos during performances, and more. This simple addition significantly expands the theatre’s multimedia capabilities.

Finally, we addressed the theatre’s house lighting needs with the installation of six Showtec 15-watt LED battens. These battens are mounted to the wooden beams, facing downwards, providing ample illumination for general lighting during performances. Beyond their functional purpose, these LED battens also feature colour-changing capabilities, allowing the theatre to dynamically alter the atmosphere of the room and create a truly immersive environment.

This comprehensive audio-visual upgrade at the Castaway Music Theatre provides a significant enhancement to their performance capabilities, offering greater flexibility and control over both lighting and visual elements. We are confident that these improvements will contribute to an even more captivating experience for performers and audiences alike.

We have recently completed an important upgrade to the lighting system, focusing on enhanced control and expanded capabilities. A key element of this upgrade is the installation of a Showtec 8-way DMX splitter. This splitter, strategically positioned at a high level, serves as the central distribution point for our Showtec LED battens and Andolite lighting bars. This setup ensures a stable and reliable DMX signal throughout the lighting grid.

Looking ahead, we are preparing to further enhance the system with the addition of LED par cans to the Andolite lighting bars. This expansion will provide greater flexibility and creativity in our lighting designs.

To streamline control and connectivity, we’ve installed a wall-mounted connection box at the control point. This central hub provides convenient access to essential connections, including two HDMI inputs for video integration, a DMX port for lighting control, and CAT5 connectivity for network-based communication. This consolidated setup simplifies operation and enhances the overall efficiency of the lighting system.
