The collaboration included the development of new iQ software features, design of bespoke lighting bridges and the upgrade of the counterweight flying system to provide fully powered flying, with reconfigurable point hoists.
Glyndebourne now boasts an holistic automation system that delivers new capabilities and makes repertory performance smoother, including new efficiencies achieved by technical cross-department integration. A unified control system for all automation: above, below and on the stage.
