Technical Configuration
-
Projectors: Three Optoma ZU500UST units were positioned 2.48 meters from the walls. The ultra-short-throw projectors minimized spatial constraints.
-
The GeoBox video processor (model: M813) was the core of the setup, ensuring unmatched reliability and seamless visual blending.
• Image Alignment: GeoBox precisely aligned images across the three projection surfaces, and de-warped the images on the curved wall corners.
• Blending: It ensured a flawless transition at curved wall junctions, erasing visible borders and delivering a cohesive panoramic display.
-
Input source: Use 3 BrightSign media players, each providing 4K output. This combined video quality meets the requirement for a high-resolution immersive display.
Two lateral walls (5m each) and one central wall (4.45m), all 2.48m high
Challenges and Solutions
