Where the program was being broadcast live, a number of movie blimped generators were used to provide redundant power to the lights, the Satellite Uplink Truck, and the HD Production Truck. The 1400Amp Crawford Generator on ScreenLight & Grip’s 10-Ton Grip Truck provided power to the lights.

Twin paralleling 1400Amp Crawford Generators on a stake bed truck provided power to the Satellite Uplink Truck and the HD Production Truck. “It was important to have silent generators,” explains Holt, “because of their proximity to the set and the fact that the tent sides offered no noise buffer.”
