Switzerland - Zurich's Flughafen Airport has come up with a novel idea in using one of its old terminal buildings. The terminal has been developed in to a multi purpose venue called 'Event Dock' which includes a Museum along with various other corporate event and exhibition facilities. In developing the terminal certain criteria had to be met with regards to equipment and software that was to be installed, especially as the majority of event managers at the site are not fully experienced lighting technicians or engineers.

Project manager Andreas Stahl from EBZ in Switzerland recommended and installed the Frog Box and Frog Touch Screen system from Zero 88 to control the 30 Clay Paky Points and 16 Clay Paky Colorwave 300's used throughout the terminal. The main reason for the Frog range being used was that it was the only product on the market capable of providing the number of programmes required (over 40 scenes and chase sequences) in a package that was easy to learn and operate.

Franck Tiesing, who looks after Northern Europe for Zero 88 described the new facility at Zurich Flughafen Airport as "An innovative and exciting project which required specific equipment requirements which only Zero 88 were able meet. Now that the lighting has been installed and programmed the Frog Screen provides a simple and effective way for staff to recall the pre-programmed effects."
