The Vendée Globe held the awards ceremony 2013 of his sailing regatta around the world, that begins and ends in Les Sables d’Olonne, in western France, in a setting located on the beach of Les Sables d'Olonne.

More than 100.000 spectators came last 11 from May to this closing event to witness a music show, video and colorful fireworks. AMP Visual TV was the main audiovisual contractor for the Vendée Globe and GL Events was the audiovisual provider responsible for processing the video and projections..

GL Events chose the Kshow video processor, of the Spanish company ShowKube, for processing ceremony video signals. They used six synchronized Kshow Pro (con framelock y timecode) y 11 projectors (some of them using double stacking) to display video content on three large screens, one of them semicircular 120 meters long and 16 meters at its highest point, as well as to display the contents on two large LED screens located in the center of the stage.

Kshow, the video processor that includes a 4K media server with timeline, live source mixer, and a powerful real-time video composition and processing engine, contributed in a single system, the tools required to carry out the closing ceremony of the Vendée Globe.

Keystone Tools, Kshow's Warping and Edge Blending helped fine-tune five edge blendigs on the two largest screens, as well as the position and shape of the projection on the screens. The SMPTE timecode signal generated by Kshow was sent to the fireworks systems to maintain synchronization..
