Technical Approach
Stadium events combine the scale and redundancy demands of large live shows with the precise camera-facing requirements of broadcast production. Alexander Kotov’s approach prioritises:
- Broadcast-first lighting design — colour temperature, CRI, and angle optimised for camera
- Redundant show control networks — zero-failure operation using fiber ring topologies and backup systems
- GrandMA3 ecosystems — full console redundancy with network monitoring via Araneo and Zabbix
- sACN/MA-Net over VLAN-segregated fiber — clean separation of lighting, audio, and video data networks
Based: Dubai, UAE. Available across the GCC for stadium, arena, and outdoor venue productions.
