The new concept was chosen by PRS for Music, for the British Music Experience at the 02 London.
In a video display that rotates just like a propeller, three PlasMotion screens are installed on truss stands, side by side, and co-ordinate image content and screen rotation to create stunning imagery. PRS for Music used the screens as part of the welcome area leading into the exhibition. The screens display musical connections between famous songwriters, all of whom feature in the main exhibit.
The speed, direction and duration of the rotation can be set according to requirements, receiving video signal and power supply via slip rings in the drive shaft this means continuous rotation in both directions is possible.
Alex Spargo, PRS for Music, commented: "The plasmotion screens have enhanced the content we created and catch people's eye in the way a static screen could not. They look fantastic and the visitors love the way they rotate and are therefore drawn into the content displayed."
