It’s all in the title: on May 30th, there was a big sunny day, when the sound check took place… The display is clearly insufficient and even with a sun visor it’s complicated. Isn’t there a solution, like for example a specific sun visor in smoked plexiglass?
You have to have cover (ie a tent, etc) over FOH. It shouldn’t be white either because that simply causes a white reflection on the screen. The darker the color, the better.
My two solutions have been a laptop sun shade, which offered only a marginal improvement, and controlling the mixer with an iPad configured to invert the screen colors. This pretty much eliminated the problem. It still helped to be in the shade but as long as the sun wasn’t hitting it head on I was able to see it pretty well.
