Show Partners, the company responsible for engineering and operations in collaboration with its lighting vendor, CYM Lighting, of Palm Springs, CA, chose to use Element Labs’ Versa TUBEs. Both Artistic Director Chris Runnells and Assistant Artistic Director Justin Garrone thought that the Versa TUBES would work well as one of the main design elements of the new shows set. They then passed the idea on to scenic designer Tim Saunders of Broadcast Design International, who incorporated the TUBEs into the design concept.

Over 500 Versa^® TUBEs are built in a semicircular array in 13 bays with the TUBEs stacked horizontally. “Twelve of the bays work together as one large video wall,” Garrone explains. “It serves as a background during play to help anchor each round using color as well as texture to heighten the dramatic intensity of game play.”

For example, when a player chooses to bet all their money, they are said to have gone ‘All In.’ “When that happens, we’ve designed red textured moving content for the wall that swoops into the wall to punctuate the tension of that moment,” Garrone explains. “The thirteenth bay stands alone, so we use it to backlight a large Mansion logoed column in the upstage right center.” read more at project page
