Part gentlemen’s club, part
nightclub
While
it may be called a gentlemen’s club by most, many women would disagree. The
girls, girls, girls atmosphere that most clubs in its realm possess is lost on
Scarlett’s. In fact, many of Scarlett’s patrons are women who accompany their
boyfriends and husbands to the nightspot.
This
openness has much to do with a rich entertainment factor.
“Scarlett’s
is a one-of-a-kind club, it’s a hybrid,” said Michael Meacham, Lighting
Designer and Programmer at idesign. “It’s part gentlemen’s club and part
nightclub.”
Helping
to create this unique atmosphere is a long list of Martin gear that includes
MAC 250 Kryptons, MX-10, MX-4 and Mania SCX600 scanners, and Wizard Extremes
all brought to life by a Magnum Club Smoke system. Lighting control is from a
Martin LightJockey.
LC Series™
Adding
a distinctively decorative look to the club is a wall of Martin LC Series™ LED
panels that work against mirrored pillars and chrome poles to emit a brightness
that seems to increase in intensity and range throughout the venue.
The
LC Series™ is a semi-transparent and modular system of LED panels which is
perfect for a venue like Scarlett’s. Designed for stage shows, TV studios and
commercial applications, LC Series™ is able to display video and images and is
stunning to look at.
“Its
brightness is remarkable and reliable,” said Michael, who had the panels
installed in the “skybox” at the back of the club.
One
truly innovative aspect of the LC Series™ is that while it may seem a
spectacular product in its dynamism, it has a simple assembly process and the
ability to be stacked as high as 46 ft high and as wide as necessary.
“It
took no longer than an afternoon to install and set up,” said Michael. “It’s an
excellent product with great display and ease of use.”
The
LC units are built to withstand various temperaments and have been used in the
touring market. With no external power supplies or drivers, each unit comes
with everything built in, which ultimately reduces costs and set-up time.
Maxedia PRO™
Paired
with Martin’s Maxedia PRO™ media server, the possibilities are endless.
“The
Maxedia media server is a great companion,” continued Michael. “We use
everything from custom content to live video feeds and its own stock content.
With Maxedia, there are so many ways to change a single image from its original
look.”
Incredibly
versatile, this pairing has increased Scarlett’s visual appeal by volumes and
has created an even more energetic place to visit.
