Stagebar 54™, Full MAC Rig Illuminate “Premios Fox Sports Awards”

A full Martin rig which included 50 Stagebar 54’s, 12 MAC 600 wash lights, 19 MAC 250 Entour’s, 22 MAC 2000 Profile’s and Maxxyz lighting consoles together created an extraordinary backdrop for the 5th Annual “Premios Fox Sports Awards.”

Presented by DHL, the star-studded event took place at the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theatre and was telecast to over 33 million homes throughout the United States and Latin America.

Paradigm turns to Stagebar 54
Because this award show was a high profile production, the team at Paradigm Production Services (FL) relied on the most dependable lighting products most certain to create a visual presentation that would be as dynamic to the studio audience as it was on screen.

“The Stagebar 54’s were very effective,” said Jorge Valdez of Paradigm Production Services. “They were a pleasure to work with.” The Stagebars were located upstage and between video panels as backdrop eye candy.

As a first time user of Martin’s new Stagebar 54, Jorge took a liking to their versatility. “They looked awesome,” he said. “I didn’t know they had so much power and they looked very good on camera because you don’t see the pixels. That’s all it took to convince me to go buy them.”

The new Stagebar 54 is a compact, powerful LED luminaire with a comprehensive color range, all-in-one simplicity and a tough temperament for the touring market. It functions as a pixel bar for displaying imagery and video or as a wash luminaire for floodlighting surfaces and stages.

MAC 250 Entour
Jorge was also very happy with Martin’s MAC 250 Entour. “Everybody knows those lights are awesome,” he continues. “They stood out even beside a large LED wall.”

The MAC 250 Entour features an enhanced optical system that produces unsurpassed quality imaging which, together with the added array of graphical effects, an achromatic lens system and additional gobo wheel make the Entour a powerful lighting tool.

The MAC 250 Entour also boasts a specially designed dimming system for exceptionally smooth and even dimming. By achieving new standards in light output and image quality, the Entour is ideal for environments where powerful effects are required like stage, studio and event applications such as “Premios Fox Sports Awards.”

Premios Fox Sports
Premios Fox Sports is the only award program to recognize the accomplishments of Latino athletes both on and off the field, and what makes it even more unique is that it allows fans to vote for their favorite sports stars online, taking public opinion into account.

The award show also offered viewers an opportunity to watch the athletes in action with the use of footage shot straight from fields and arenas from around the world, but profiled the various sports stars who were chosen by an expert panel of judges comprised of Fox Sports en Espanol Magazine editors and contributors, producers and on-air television and radio personalities.
