Main and secondary images can be rotated, flipped and swapped around independently, with adjustable cropping area and aspect ratios.Each output is also supported by four inputs. PIP/POP functionality is provided to allow PIP (sub) images to be placed in any location and size on the projection-blended installation, with POP images able to be placed side-by-side or top-to-bottom, allowing up to four split views to be created in each output channel. Aaron Hsu at Digital Projection Japan, says having so many projectors in one room, creates a unique set of challenges.
Users are able to adjust outputted images in real time without pre-editing and without PC-based software control.ģ3x33 control points are provided for geometric alignment, allowing the UD10X to control multiple 4K content with the possibility of combining 4K outputs to create displays.Įach UD10X module is equipped with four inputs (three HDMI2.0 and one DP1.4) and one output (HDMI 2.0), able to be daisy-chained to support more than four projectors. Alongside Digital Projection laser technology, a VNS GeoBox video wall controller was chosen to control the edge-blending output from multiple projectors, coupled with a BrightSign media player to deliver the video content.
The GeoBox UD10X series allows for full control of edge blending and warping, of 8k/2k or 4K (4096x2160) content on 4K (4096x2160) projectors. The exhibition looks incredible, we are really proud to be a part of such a visually impressive project – it just goes to show what the E-Vision lasers are capable of.VNS has launched its GeoBox UD10X edge blending and warping controller, capable of geometrically arranging and blending 4K projection outputs. This art exhibition requires 360-degrees visuals, which involves a huge amount of edge blending without compromising on the quality of the image. Mark Wadsworth at Digital Projection was thrilled that the company’s products were chosen in a project of this importance: “For an exhibition of this scale and complexity, it’s imperative that technology suits the end goal. Digital Projection’s E-Vision Laser 10K projectors provided a stable and predictable light source for up to 20,000 hours and offered built in edge-blending capabilities, ensuring a seamless image is created from multiple projectors. The compact, E-Vision laser was an obvious choice, as it’s able to compete with high levels of ambient light, delivering 10,500 lumens from a solid-state laser light source.įor an exhibition of this scale, it was important to choose technology that was flexible and reliable. Using too many projectors on the floor would have caused light scatter and had an adverse effect on the image quality on the walls, so the solution of using UST lenses achieved optimal performance for all canvases. Whereas traditionally you would point projectors downwards to the floor, we actually pointed them up but used the UST periscope lens, thus giving us the extra height and coverage.” Ground projection and cylinder projection mapping throughout also help create a fully immersive experience with 360-degrees visuals.Īlongside Digital Projection laser technology, a VNS GeoBox videowall controller was chosen to control the edge-blending output from multiple projectors, coupled with a BrightSign media player to deliver the video content.Īaron Hsu at Digital Projection Japan said having so many projectors in one room creates a unique set of challenges: “Because of the exhibition hall’s ceiling height limitation, the ground projection required more projectors to successfully display the entire image – we needed a creative solution to achieve this. To achieve the magnitude required for Spirit of Japan, the venue was divided into three major areas to receive 360-degrees edge-blending projection across all the surfaces. This past has been given a new lease of life in the Spirit of Japan exhibition, which will be immersing visitors into Japan’s colourful history as it continues into next spring.ĭanny Rose Studio previously produced an exhibition in France, titled Dreamed Japan – Images of the Floating World, which attracted over 2 million visitors, and in light of its popularity the tour was reimagined for Spirit of Japan. Untranslated, the title of the Spirit of Japan exhibition reads Ukiyo-e Theatre – the ‘ukiyo-e’ are small art pieces created in Japan from the 17th to 19th century which depicted daily life as it was. Danny Rose Studio, the collective behind the current Spirit of Japan art exhibition at the Kadokawa Culture Museum, has deployed more than 30 Digital Projection E-Vision Laser 10K projectors to illuminate the floors, ceilings and walls of the venue.
