6.6.2007 Maxedia, MACs Team Up on Echo 2007 light show; more LED located around the stage; a flying LED screen; and a triangle set piece with more LED strips. "It was a very safe set up and everything worked very fine," Jerry comments. "The HD version and the new PRO version of Maxedia - it´s a really reliable machine. It was a really good experience." Graphical content for Maxedia came from a variety of sources. Company Wilson Digital Effects created the show´s basic looks including the between band segments with moderator, awards presentation, etc. Performance content was a mixture of band material along with content that Jerry and bright! preproductions GmbH (a media server specialist company) developed, as well as special content from Wilson. Maxedia ease Maxedia programming was completed by Thomas Giegerich, Manager of bright! preproductions. Thomas built cues using the mix of graphics with his brother, Michael, at the controls. "We always specify Maxedia because of its ease of use," Thomas says. "It´s so much faster than the other servers because you don´t have to have layers - you can go cue by cue. Programming is so much easier."
