Om zelf even de antwoorden te geven:

The video system under the creative direction of media artist Andree Verleger from Germany included 60 x media servers, 86 x Christie Roadster Projectors with Orbital Heads and 63 x Cinema Christie Projectors. HP Pro-Curve 2626 field switches, HP Pro-Curve 8212zl and kilometres of multi mode fiber optic cable were the backbone of the huge network. “I am absolutely excited about the professionalism and support I was getting also for “my” video part during all those month from MA Lighting and the entire lighting crew”, states Verleeger. “This underlines how important it is that lighting and video are going hand in hand. This teamwork gave trust and an ongoing motivation to realize another record in this show: the world’s largest projection screen with around 600m.

Ondertussen heeft MA hun tekst herschreven. Hierbij het nieuwe artikel:

The video system under the creative direction of media artist Andree Verleger from Germany included some 110 x media servers, 86 x Christie Roadster Projectors with Orbital Heads and 63 x Cinema Christie Projectors. HP Pro-Curve 2626 field switches, HP Pro-Curve 8212zl and kilometres of multi mode fiber optic cable were the backbone of the huge network. “I am absolutely excited about the professionalism and support I was getting also for “my” video part during all those month from MA Lighting and the entire lighting crew - although not controlled by the grandMA system”, states Verleeger. “This underlines how important it is that lighting and video are going hand in hand. This teamwork gave trust and an ongoing motivation to realize another record in this show: the world’s largest projection screen with around 600m.

best grappig dat bij een show van die omvang hier in onze landen er zo goed als zeker een massa showtec en andere made in china dingen zouden hangen maar een show ginder zonder ook maar iets van deze merken gedaan wordt...

Lees dan ook even het berichtje van Martin op hun site:

Casestory - Martin Lights Beijing Summer Olympic Games: LD Sha Xiao Lan Interview

Ik ben benieuwd hoe de sluiting zal zijn...

[salsa]

Waneer is de sluiting van de Olympische Spelen?

Ik heb de Opening dus helemaal gemist en weet iemand waar ik deze op I-net terug kan kijken?

Ik heb op Youtube rond gekeken en ben daar wel enkele fragmenten tegen gekomen.

Toch nog even een vraag over de gebruikte lichtfixtures

Volgens vele is in Peking alleen Martin gebruikt (2000 Wash en Wash XB)

Stukje op Martin site:
According to our plan, we needed approximately 2,700 moving lights, which is unprecedented. Martin, Vari*Lite and many other well-known brands attended the bid and we had to choose the most suitable ones. Even as the head LD, I didn’t have the authority to decide which brand would be used in the Ceremony, though my opinion was important.

“The Martin MAC 2000 Wash was eventually chosen because it’s the most stable fixture with the most uniform color wash I’ve ever known.
Aldus 'Lighting Designer Sha Xiao Lan '

Hij heeft het duidelijk over kiezen tussen de merken Martin, VariLite en andere merken.
In het laatste stukje bevestigd hij te hebben gekozen voor de Martin fixtures.
Toch kom ik op de website van VariLite weer een heel stuk tegen dat ook hun fixtures (ruim 700 stuks) werden gebruikt bij opening- en sluitingsceremonies.

Weet een van jullie of dit kan kloppen? Zijn inderdaad bijde merke gebruikt?
