CELEBRATION IMAGERY IS BORNE ON THE FOURTH OF JULY - ON LIGHTHOUSE SCREENS

US – 30 July 2007 - The fourth of July - American Independence Day - means major celebrations across the USA, no more so than in Boston, Massachusetts where a huge firework display was set to a live soundtrack by the famous Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra.

With up to one million spectators gathered along the banks of the Charles River, visual relays by large screens were needed for many spectators to enjoy the full impact of the event - and Lighthouse HD ready LED screens were chosen as an essential element.

Since 2003 the celebrations have been televised across the USA on the CBS network, the television coverage now dictating the overall appearance of the event. Thus the large format screens placed on both side of the orchestra stage have needed to be high resolution in order to look good on domestic television screens. CBS then decided to broadcast the event in high definition format in 2007, hence a higher resolution HD ready screen was chosen.

For a quarter of a century, Capron Lighting & Sound has provided the technical production infrastructure to the event, with division Living Daylight Displays (LDD) providing the large screen element.

The two 17' x 10' (5.18m x 3m) Lighthouse R10i/o-II screens, each configured as five panels wide by four panels high, were connected with the HD section of the SLH Screen Optimiser and the DVI-D input of a Lighthouse LIP-KX.

“The show went well and everyone involved was pleased with the result,” says David Messcher of LDD. “The Lighthouse new indoor/outdoor 10mm panels performed well, as expected in the rain.”

Pam Picard, Co-Producer of the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular, adds, "The screens had enormous clarity and looked wonderful, both during the day and night.  The hi-definition images came alive and provided a super look for the on-site as well as the at-home audience.  The color display and overall images looked amazing."
