Videlio expands looks for Basilica of Saint Pius X with Chauvet

Pélerinage Militaire International (PMI) attracts some 14,000 military pilgrims from forty different nations. This year, their services at the Basilica of Saint Pius X in Lourdes, France, were enriched by a new lighting system that features 79 Chauvet Professional projectors supplied by Videlio.

Working with Vincent Fernandez, Audiovisual Department Manager at the Sanctuaire de Lourdes, Videlio Business Manager Jean Camlong and Videlio Project Manager Joel Cathala oversaw the installation of the new fixtures throughout the spacious basilica, which has an oval nave that measures 201 metres (659 ft) long by 81 metres (266 ft) wide (12.000 m² - 39.370 square feet). In addition to installing the new units, the production team reused some of the existing fixtures and renovated some of the electrical and DMX lines.

A collection of thirty Ovation F-265WW Fresnels and three Ovation E-260WW ellipsoidals provide smooth even fields of light across the basilica, while two Ovation E-910FC units add richly textured colours. This light provides a better experience for worshippers in attendance, and also creates a superior visual environment for services and events that are televised and video recorded.

A group of 36 Ovation P-56WW Pars and four Ovation P-56 FC Pars create accent lighting for the altar, while four Rogue R3X Wash moving fixtures add a variety of effects. “Our goal was to replace the old lighting system and its dimmers with a more powerful, versatile and energy efficient solution, and to improve colorimetric rendering for video recording and diffusion”, says Joel Cathala. “The Chauvet projectors helped us achieve these objectives.”
