For a Philips VIP event, CREATE was asked to create 2 panorama screens of 30m * 5m and a front projection on the stage of 8m by 3m. Also we had to create the content for the 30 min show, where Philips wants to give a showcase of their new innovating product. For this job, we used 6 Pandora’s Boxes, 10 Panasonic 6000 Lumens projector and a Christie Full HD 8000 lumens projector.
The tricky part in creating the content was that the videos and images for the two panorama screens had to have a resolution of 5120px over 768px. Luckily, Philips provided us with a lot of high-resolution images, that we transformed into professional videos.
For each panorama screen, we used 5 projectors and 3 media servers. Each projector showed an image of 1024px by 768px. For the final video rendering, we had to cut the total video into 3 parts, each with 256px overlap to make the soft edge blend.
The middle video had a resolution of 2560px by 768px, larger than full HD! All movies had to be rendered in mpeg-format, for proper playing on the Coolux media servers. Therefore, we had to do some research to find the right codec. Most mpeg-codecs do not allow resolutions over 1920px * 1080px.
All 6 servers were controlled with a GrandMA Light Controller for a proper synced video show.
For the third year we were present at EIBTM 2010. Together with ASP Bluesquare we shared a stand in the technology village.
EIBTM is Europe’s largest tradeshow for the MICE business, CREATE was present as a supplier for multimedia and AV technology. We support events all over Europe with basic or advanced setups.
Our interactive ePoster system was a big hit in the technology village. For many medical and scientific conferences the ePosters are an innovative solution to bring more attention to the poster sessions.
We also showed some holografic iwindow screens and multi-touch solutions.
For the opening of the new tourist season in the heart of the “Flemisch Ardennes”, the city of Brakel was proud to present a custom made iWindow solution. On the day of the official opening of the interactive window by the mayor of Brakel, there was a lot of press attention. Television as well as newspaper reporters were at location to report about this next-generation manner of providing information, 24/7.
Included in this blogpost you can take a look at the local tv-station’s report about the opening.
