Champs-Élysées, Paris

Festive lighting control for the 2025 Champs-Élysées illuminations, synchronising approximately 1.5 million LEDs across ten independent zones spanning the full length of one of the world’s most recognised avenues.

  • Ten VLC+ M controllers deliver a total of 800 universes of pixel-accurate playback across controllers with 50 and 100 DMX universe capacities, each outputting multiple layers of complex lighting and video content
  • Frame-accurate synchronisation across ten physically and electrically independent zones is achieved via a fibre optic bridging solution, enabling the complete avenue to operate as a single cohesive display
  • Ten BPS panels provide button-trigger interfaces across the installation without adding unnecessary network infrastructure
  • The system was configured for fully automatic operation throughout the festive season; installation began in August with the public opening taking place in mid-November 2025
