The project is allied to the BBC public space broadcasting network to provide some of their live events content. It also shows a high percentage of relevant local arts material, reflecting the wide range of cultural influences and ensuring that the installation benefits the entire community.
The screen features processing by Lighthouse's proprietary X-drive Pro, LIP-DX and automatic brightness control.
"TMC's work ethic is to provide a solution that not only performs as per the specification, but also serves as an example of our attention to details," says Martin Tarpy of TMC. "With that in mind, we have designed and fabricated an aluminium extrusion subframe that replaces the usual cumbersome steelwork. This brings many benefits, ensuring that the installation and operation of the Lighthouse screen is extremely easy to manage.
"We have been associated with Lighthouse Technologies for many years, but this is the first project of this magnitude that we have been awarded the contract for. The 16mm screen is perfect for the site."
