Lighthouse Equipment Delivers Real-time Coverage of the AFL Footy Show's
2006 Grand Final Edition on Australia's Channel 9

HONG KONG, Oct. 13 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- One of the most watched television programmes in Australia, the award-winning AFL Footy Show, delighted its audience recently with a flawless live broadcast of its 2006 Grand Final edition thanks to LED video technology supplied by Lighthouse Technologies.

An estimated national audience of over 1.49 million viewers tuned-in to watch the show's 2006 AFL Grand Final broadcast which aired on Australia's Channel 9 (GTV-9) television network on Thursday 28th September 2006.

To commemorate the occasion, the network created a spectacular studio set, located at the Rod Laver Arena in the heart of Melbourne's city centre, entertained a sell-out audience of 15,000 football fans.

As part of the set design, over 130 Lighthouse LED video panels were strategically deployed around the stage to create a number of R4, R10 and R16i/o high-definition video displays which were used to project vibrant images of the event.

This included the showcasing of football highlights, live interviews and special performances by some of Australia's top music acts.

Commenting on the production, Ben Claydon, Director of Massteknik, the company responsible for the installation, praised Lighthouse's broadcast technology for its reliability and excellent colour reproduction.

"We are continually recommending Lighthouse's video screens to our clients. The flexible configuration and crisp image clarity of Lighthouse's visual solutions make their LED displays ideal for television studios and other live events, "he said.

"On this occasion, we were also particularly impressed by the speed and ease of the set up," continued Mr. Claydon. "In total, the entire production set for the Footy Show took just two days to install and a total of 60 man hours to complete."

Mr. Claydon expressed that Lighthouse's creative video solutions can help broadcasters engage their audiences through the projection of visually striking images and the display of special effects.

He concludes, "Needless to say, Channel 9 was very happy with the results and we would therefore not hesitate recommending Lighthouse to them again."
