AV Stumpfl Pixera media servers put dinosaurs in spotlight

Date:

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong’s handover to China, the special administrative region’s science museum is staging a large-scale dinosaur exhibition, called The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: The Big Eight – Dinosaur Revelation.

Multimedia projection techniques and special lighting effects are being used to illuminate eight of the most well known prehistoric creatures, original fossil material and fully intact skeletons,  creating immersive experiences by blending the worlds of scientific research and scenography.   Local system integrator, Cosmovision, was tasked with setting up multiple short-throw projectors with rotating lenses – in both landscape and portrait orientation – on to a wave-shaped canvas structure. Jason Yeung, Cosmovision’s technical sales engineer, says: “The 10m by 7m wave-shaped canvas required a complex placement of equipment. We had to take into account overlapping areas to blend edges and eliminate any projection shadows. It was difficult, but using Pixera’s integrated Vioso camera calibration software, the calculations could easily be done automatically.” Two units of AV Stumpfl’s Pixera two QUAD media servers were deployed alongside the short-throw projectors. The Pixera system is an integral component of workflows that can feature ultra-high definition or even Unreal engine content, and is available as a hardware-based or software-only solution.  The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: The Big Eight – Dinosaur Revelation exhibition will run until 8 July at the Hong Kong Science Museum.
