Music Stars Shine at this Year's ARIA Awards
HONG KONG, Dec. 21 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Lighthouse Technologies, in
partnership with Bytecraft Entertainment, today announced the provision of
video support for the 2005 ARIA Awards held at the Sydney Superdome on October

Recognizing excellence and innovation across all genres of Australian
music, the ARIA Awards are held annually in front of 3,000 industry guests and
6,000 members of the public and are watched by two million people via a live
Network Ten broadcast.
Bytecraft Entertainment, a video solutions provider and Lighthouse's local
partner, was responsible for the management and the integration of the video
technology on display which featured the projection of stunning video images
via several different Lighthouse screens.
The most dynamic set elements encompassed two Lighthouse R16, 16mm LED
video displays that prominently featured on stage, aired real-time coverage of
music trailers, artist performances and the awards presentations.
Other set elements in which Lighthouse screens were used included three
10mm LED displays that together totaled 3.84 metres wide x 2.4 metres high in
size.
Also provided were a further two Lighthouse 16mm video displays positioned
as 3.06 metres wide x 4.57 metres high, and 8.13 metres wide x 6.1 metres high
respectively. These panels helped to deliver close-up images of the evening's
entertainment to the show's audience.
According to Geoff Ellery of Bytecraft Entertainment, Lighthouse video
products were adopted for the 2005 ARIA Awards as they were considered to be
the best choice for such a high profile event.

scale LED video products make them ideal for use with broadcast and television
lighting," said Mr Ellery.

Lighthouse, has been fortunate to have established the trust of producers of
