iDrive\u00ae centralised LED drivers took centre stage at the recent Shakespeare Live!<\/em> <\/strong>Show, which was broadcast live by the BBC from the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) in Stratford-upon-Avon to celebrate the life of William Shakespeare on the 400th anniversary of his death. UK Sales Manager, Russell Joseph, commented: \u201cOne distinct advantage of the Thor 36 to the RSC is that the drivers are so easy to install and dismantle, making it ideal for the lighting of this one-off live performance. In addition, the Thor 36\u2019s ability to power the LEDs from a remote location meant the stage design was not compromised in any way\u201d.<\/p>\n The iDrive\u00ae Thor 36 is an ideal solution for stage, TV and theatre events, offering the best quality dimming curves with very low ripple effects. The RSC required unprecedented accuracy for dimming throughout the show and the Thor 36\u2019s specialised dimming engine enabled the RSC to achieve up to 16-bit dimming resolution across all channels.<\/p>\n Perhaps even more importantly, the RSC could be confident that the TV cameras would not pick-up any flicker from the LEDs, as the iDrive\u00ae Thor 36 is camera-compatible. All LEDs flicker, but the iDrive\u00ae Thor LED drivers eliminate detectable flicker by operating at 65,000 Hz, which is hundreds of times higher than the frequency at which most other constant voltage LED drivers operate.<\/p>\n Nina Archenhold, Marketing Executive, commented: \u201cIST Ltd was absolutely delighted to be involved with this exceptionally high profile project. The lighting team at the RSC have been absolutely fantastic to work with and we look forward to working with them on future projects\u201d.<\/p>\n

\nThe RSC required the highest quality LED dimming and colour control for this prestigious event, which was watched by tens of millions of viewers worldwide. The iDrive\u00ae Thor 36, the world\u2019s highest power (2kW) 36 channel, constant voltage LED driver, provided the perfect driver solution to power the theatre\u2019s colour and white LED lighting illuminating the stage and steps, as well as the moving truck, which featured in the show.<\/p>\n
