While Amy Winehouse rocked the stage at the Grammys with 5 awards, the Macs ruled the backstage. Running such a large event uses so many recourses and Jim Dalrymple supposes they would be the best choice. We all know how Macs are used in television and movie for production, but this really shows the power of the Macintosh.
“...more than 450 microphones, 155 tons of lighting, 13,000 amps of power, 19 video screens, 94 speaker cabinets – and an endless amount of Macs,” Jim Dalrymple reports for Digital Arts
Though Macs are very powerful on their own, 14 Macs were used for the show. This 14 include MacBook Pros, Mac Pros G5s and a G4 capturing video from the stage. The Grammy production team has always been using Macs to produce the shows audio and will continue to use them.
Don’t just be proud that the Grammys are using Macs, but be happy that one of their highest priorities was to make sure the Webcast worked on Safari.
