INITION installed 10 full HD Canon projectors with synchronous 10-channel playback into the ground floor marketing suite of London’s South Bank Tower
INITION recently blended together 10 full HD projectors with synchronous
10 channel playback – located on the ground floor marketing suite of
London’s South Bank Tower – giving prospective buyers a realistic, 360°
panoramic representation of what they might expect to see from the high
value, premium apartments on the upper levels.
“The show apartment is situated on the lower floors of the tower,
however, the building’s key selling point are the views which are not yet
accessible as the upper floors are still under construction,” explained
Stuart Cupit, technical director and co-founder of INITION.
INITION was given timelapse footage with which the company
recreated the impressive views from the building’s upper levels using a
huge rear projection display.
“This installation was technically challenging and ambitious,” Stuart
said. “L3 Creative Projects custom designed a 1:1 mock-up of the show
apartment’s window façade which would provide the area upon which
the timelapse and real-time footage was to be projected. This simulated
the experience of looking out of the windows from the upper levels of
the building.”
For the projection itself, INITION integrated five Harkness Translite
Grey rear projection surfaces mounted on custom built-frames (creating
a 14m wide and 9600 x 2060 pixels surface) into the ‘window’.
However, the 15m x 3m space available for the control room was
located behind the window façade and was extremely narrow, resulting
in a short throw distance of less than 2m.
“With this in mind, we selected 10 HD Canon XEED WUX400ST digital
media projectors which overcome this issue,” said Stuart. “At the time of
the project’s installation, these projectors were the first to arrive in the UK.”
To ensure frame synchronisation between all 10 projectors, INITION
integrated the use of 10 Brightsign XD230 networked media players.
Crestron software was also installed to control and monitor the
projectors, whilst iPads were equipped with Brightsign Author and PJlink
software respectively, to allow the client to wirelessly alternate between
different views and sequences and control the projectors remotely.
Using an iPad, staff can now show Northeast, Northwest, Southeast
and Southwest views, morning, daytime or night time, as well as dusk to
dawn timelapse sequences capturing London’s iconic skyline. Finally, a
NUC PC was used to control the whole system via a dedicated network.
