Sydney Harbour

Supplier: ULA

During the APEC summit in Sydney, Australia, an entire eet of yachts sailing through Sydney Harbour

were illuminated with SGM Palco 5 xtures with OEM installed W-DMX™ receivers. The exhibition was

part of a showcase for the leaders and ministers from 21 APEC economies, displaying the best that

Sydney has to offer. The display was the rst of its kind.

Hosted at the Sydney Opera House, the display was a formation and exhibition sail involving 5 tall

ship and 18 30-foot yachts, which followed a massive reworks display.

Each of the yachts had their sails illuminated by two SGM Palco 5 RGB LEDs with onboard W-DMX™

receivers, on either side of their sails. The effects included colour changing, rainbow effects, chases

and the ability to light up each side differently. The LEDs were powered only by petrol generators.

DMX control was provided by Wireless Solution’s W-DMX™ system. The entire eet was controlled by

one W-DMX™ transmitter that was tted with an outdoor aerial and signal booster. This conguration

was designed to transmit to the W-DMX™ receivers within a half-mile radius (1km), however it did

better, and controlled the Palcos at much greater distances. At one stage the control boat containing

Mark Hammer, a Grand MA console, and the W-DMX™ transmitter was located under the Harbour

Bridge, while controlling the yachts in White Bay, an approximate 6.4 km (4 mile) distance. According

to Hammer, even over this distance, the W-DMX™ “worked effortlessly and never skipped a beat.”

Both Crow and Hammer agree that this project would have been impossible without the W-DMX™

system and low power consumption of the Palco 5. Crow asked, “What would I have done – put

DMX controllers on every yacht? That would never have worked!” He goes further to say that the

Wireless Solution system “worked all day and all night without a hitch, and continued to do so for the

entire event.” He even suggests that we will see a lot more events combining wireless systems and

LED due to the exibility and colour options such a system provides with the benets of low power

consumption.
