"This was a great project for us," says Phil Haldane, Black Light's company development manager. "We have experience in working with LED lighting and we worked closely with the manufacturer of the facade panels to ensure the interfacing of our systems to theirs was seamless." The team also had to think ahead to 'future proof' the new installation. Due to the amount of lighting that needed to be installed, the potential for cost savings were significant and this was a key driver for the project itself.
Traxon LED Dots were chosen as the solution for this project as they are an ultra-bright, fully-customisable solution for creative and demanding media projects. A total of 9680 individual dots were riveted to the facade and individually addressed to create the screen. "By combining these with e:cue Video Micro Converters and an e:cue LAS 2 FX Server, we were able to offer complete control of the facade at individual pixel level", says Phil.
