Sheffield National Ice Centre

ce Sheffield provides two Olympic sized rinks. It is a multi-purpose centre of excellence, designed to host world class sporting events, ice shows and ice sports as well as family fun and corporate entertainments.

The venue contains a Leisure Arena and Performance Arena. The Leisure Arena is utilised for everyday public and for private bookings and corporate events, featuring a small seating area. the lighting for this area was designed to be club like and suitable for light entertainment. The system included PAR cans for general colour washes with a range of intelligent lighting fixtures all controlled from a computerised lighting control system.

The Performance Arena is geared to professional events and competitions, complete with a 1500 audience capacity. Lighting in here is more serious and aimed at illuminating action on the ice, rather then creating pretty patterns and distractions.

P & O Cruiseferries

Two new sound and lighting systems were designed for two new P&O North Sea Ferries' the 'Pride of Rotterdam' and the 'Pride of Hull'.

The new vessels have accommodation including luxury suites and all cabins have their own private facilities. They also offer an à la carte restaurant, a two tiered show lounge, wine bar, business centre and even a cyber zone, where passengers can surf the web. 

The systems were designed to be simple to operate on a daily basis as the ships sail daily from Hull to Rotterdam, thus everything is controlled from SMPTE time code and the shows run more or less automatically.
