Jack FM and Startech on Bonfire night

Startech supplied the full production setup for the Jack FM concert at Oxford Fireworks

The 44th Oxford Fireworks display saw £11,000 of fireworks go off and Startech were there to ensure it went with a bang!!

Startech's red canopy stage acted as host for the Jack FM concert in South Park on Saturday night. The low energy LED wash & LED profiles, operated by a Zero88 Leapfrog, were mounted around the arches to compliment the LED video screen.

Sound was provided by our Turbosound Floodlight system and run on our Yamaha LS9 by Grebe as well as being operates remotely via iPad.

The day started at 9am with all the crew setting up the stage and canopy, by 2pm everything was set-up and ready to go, with soundchecks planned for 3:30 we were well ahead of schedule.

25,000 people came through the gates to see the fireworks, wicker man and the Jack FM stage. Acts included Owen Paul and Charlie Simpson, from Busted.

Startech's LED screen made it's first outdoor appearance at Oxford Fireworks.

A 3 metre square version of our LED screen was used as a backdrop to all the artists on stage for the Jack FM concert at South Park.

With Shanks and Simon running the screen, this made a huge impact with the audience and with Jack FM themselves. A Corio 2-3360 allowed seamless switching between 3 computers running different packages, although it can be run using only one computer. This gave great flexibility on screen, with graphics from Jack FM, the Royal British Legion & all of the acts to be used during the night including a countdown to the start of the fireworks.
