Stadium Mohammed V - Casablanca

Background

The stadium Mohammed V, in Casablanca was built in 1955. The stadium owner wanted to have something more unique and dynamic and they got in contact with Texunion Lighting for a full LED Solution Fifa standard B . They could provide the fixtures for the stadium White and RGBW. The question remained on which technology to use to get the lights to it's full potential? And let the lights be controlled individually? And thats where the conversations started with DiGidot Technologies.

Setup & Fixtures

The stadium is open for a large part. About a quarter of the stadium is covered by a roof. From there, the lights are shining towards the field. In total, there are 78 lights installed: 40 Floodlights from Faelluce 1600W LED  and 38 RGBW Lights from Prilux 276w  . The RGBW Lights each consists 3 lights themself that can also individually controlled. Here is some more info about these lights.

4 channels per fixture, 12 in total

The floodlights where spread out on the roof and the RGBW lights where centered in the middle. In total, they can produce a power output of more than 70kW!

Control solution

All the lights are controlled with the help of 3x DiGidot C4 Extended 2. All these controllers have 2 DMX outputs with RDM capability. The RDM technology allows us to remotely set the start-address, without having physical access to each light which saves a lot of time. The addressing part was done by highlighting each light and then setting an address in order. The scenario's where created with MADRIX and then recorded on the DiGidot controllers. After recording, we used TouchOSC to create a custom user interface where the customer can select not only different scenario's but also control the floodlights and RGBW lights independent as well as change the brightness for each light group.

Future

The current setup allows the user to have full control of the stadium with the TouchOSC interface. In the future, we will add an audio enabled solution. This means that whatever music is playing, the light will react based on the BPM and adjust automatically!
