Evolution technical were commissioned to design and deliver a custom wireless-triggered lighting control system for the KSA Pavilion's opening sequence at Expo 2025 Osaka.

Developed in under a week, the battery-powered solution combined bespoke electronics, DMX control, and redundant triggering to provide a reliable lighting reveal for an international live event.

The Challenge

The opening sequence required a compact lighting control system capable of triggering multiple RGBW lighting zones without relying on existing venue infrastructure. The solution needed to be battery powered, easily transportable, quick to assemble on site, and robust enough for a live international presentation.

With less than a week available before shipment, the system also had to be fully engineered, tested, documented, and packed for export within an exceptionally tight programme.

The Solution

Our Lighting and R&D teams developed a bespoke wireless lighting control platform centered around ESP32-C3 microcontrollers and CueCore2 DMX control. A custom handheld transmitter communicated wirelessly with a receiver connected to the lighting controller through opto-isolated GPIO inputs, allowing pre-programmed lighting sequences to be triggered reliably without line-of-sight restrictions.

The entire system was designed as a modular battery-powered package incorporating power conversion, custom wiring looms, and plug-and-play connectors for rapid deployment. To maximise operational reliability during the live presentation, a secondary hardwired trigger was integrated, providing immediate manual control should wireless operation ever become unavailable.

As part of the build-up to COP28, Evolution Technical was appointed to deliver the complete audio, video and lighting and technical production package for the Global Faith Leaders Gala Dinner at Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi.

Held under the patronage of ADNOC following the Global Faith Leaders' Summit, the event brought together distinguished international guests for an evening of dialogue, networking and cultural exchange. Evolution's role was to provide a seamless technical production that reflected the significance, prestige and diplomatic nature of the occasion.

The Challenge

Delivering technical production for a high-profile diplomatic gathering required exceptional attention to detail, reliability and presentation.

The production needed to provide clear speech reinforcement for distinguished guests, elegant architectural lighting that complemented the venue, and discreet technical infrastructure that enhanced the atmosphere without distracting from the event itself.

Every element of the AVL system had to remain robust throughout the evening, supporting formal proceedings while maintaining the refined ambience expected within one of the UAE's most prestigious venues.

The Solution

Evolution Technical designed and delivered a fully integrated AVL solution tailored to the unique requirements of the gala dinner.

Audio reinforcement was centered around a L-Acoustics Syva system with Syva Low extensions providing the main PA coverage, complemented by L-Acoustics 5XT loudspeakers for ambient fill throughout the venue. The system was powered by LA12X amplifiers, delivering exceptional clarity for speeches and programme content. HK Audio floor wedges provided discreet stage monitoring, while Shure RF wireless microphone systems ensured reliable speech reinforcement and presenter mobility.

Lighting was designed to enhance the elegance of the venue using a combination of Astera Titan Tubes, AX5 and AX3 fixtures alongside Robe, SGM P5 and Chauvet lighting systems. All fixtures were programmed and controlled using a ChamSys MagicQ70 lighting console with Swisson Wireless DMX, providing flexible and dependable wireless lighting control throughout the event.

Lighting towers were constructed using Litec Varitower structures, providing the required height and fixture positioning while maintaining a clean, unobtrusive appearance within the venue.

The result was a cohesive technical production where audio, lighting and structural elements worked seamlessly together to support the event's diplomatic and interfaith significance.

Bringing together key voices from government and industry, the Make it in the Emirates Forum showcased the UAE's vision for manufacturing, investment and industrial growth at the ADNOC Energy Center.

Supporting the event required more than a traditional conference setup. Evolution was responsible for connecting two independent venues through a unified audiovisual and control system, enabling presentations, discussions and live content to flow seamlessly throughout the forum.

The Challenge

Unlike a conventional conference, the forum relied on two independently operating venues that needed to function as one coordinated event. Existing venue infrastructure had to be integrated with temporary AVL systems without disrupting ongoing operations, while maintaining consistent performance across both locations.

The production also required centralised control over audio, lighting and video, allowing technical teams to monitor system performance, manage live content and make real-time adjustments from a single front-of-house position. Achieving this level of integration while maintaining reliability throughout a live programme demanded careful planning and robust network architecture.

The Solution

Rather than replacing the venue's existing infrastructure, Evolution built upon it, combining in-house systems with additional production technology to create a unified technical environment. Professional audio, lighting, media playback and networking were connected through a central control platform, enabling both venues to operate seamlessly while retaining independent functionality where required.

A resilient networking backbone allowed production teams to distribute signals, monitor system health and coordinate operations across both spaces, ensuring every presentation, discussion and content cue was delivered accurately throughout the event.

Delivery Highlights 

• Integrated existing AVL infrastructure across the Main Auditorium and Ghasha Hall.
• Connected venue audio systems through Yamaha digital consoles and redundant Dante networking.
• Deployed L-Acoustics audio systems to complement existing venue coverage.
• Supplied Shure wireless microphone systems for presenters and panel discussions.
• Enhanced venue lighting using ROBE, Astera and Chauvet fixtures.
• Managed lighting control via Full Boar 4 and Road Hog lighting consoles.
• Delivered video control using a BARCO E2 Gen2 system and Ventuz media servers.
• Connected all AVL systems through a centralised Luminex network supporting AVB, Dante and Art-Net protocols.
• Enabled real-time monitoring, redundant signal routing and centralised front-of-house control.
• Provided complete technical management and on-site operational support throughout the forum.

Outcome

By bringing together permanent venue infrastructure and temporary production systems, the forum operated as a unified event across two independent spaces. Presentations, panel discussions and multimedia content were delivered consistently, while production teams maintained complete visibility and control over every technical system.

The project demonstrated Evolution's expertise in integrating complex venue infrastructure into a single production workflow, providing the flexibility, reliability and operational confidence required for a high-profile national forum.
