Israel - The X-Factor reality show is a multinational singing competition originated and created by Simon Cowell in the UK. Since then, many countries have adapted the format and began airing their own national version, including Israel.

For the first time and for the first season, X-Factor Israel took place at the primetime of the Israeli Channel 2 TV network. The first show of the season drew a record rating of 40% - the highest rating ever made for a music show.

The whole season was lit by lighting designer Dakar Azulay and lighting operator Yaron Shush, who relied on the Vector Reds and Vector Ultra Violet consoles.

The final show on January 14th was one of the biggest events in the Israeli TV. Therefore, a high standard of performances was expected in all aspects, especially in terms of the lighting. The two Vector Reds, one Vector Ultra Violet and one Vector PC Wing as a remote control complemented grandiose live singing competition TV show.

Dakar comments: "I have worked with Vector consoles for many years; it's the ultimate lighting console for me. Choosing to work with two Vector Reds as Master-Slave fully synchronizes gave me the full confidence during programing, rehearsing and mostly during the final live show. In addition I used a Vector PC Wing to control my backlights. I really enjoy working with Vector consoles in my shows and very happy with the results."

The lighting and sound equipment was delivered by Sincopa. Danor is the exclusive distributor of Compulite Systems in Israel.
