New DP Configurator Tool Makes Radiance LED Video Walls Easy to Design and Install

 

There’s an art and science that goes into the design and installation of LED video walls—neither of which is particularly easy. DP has simplified the process significantly with the introduction of a new online LED Configuration Tool. By inputting a few specs—display height, width, pixel pitch, and viewing distance–you get a complete video wall design customized to the specific application. You’ll know the type, size, and number of Radiance LED panels to buy to achieve the desired imaging experience.

Other details such as the mounting preference, type of venue, number of AV sources, and any on-site services needed can further tailor the final output. Finally, to help your customers visualize the final installation—key to closing more sales—just upload an image of the space in which the video wall will be installed and sample content that will be displayed to generate an accurate rendering of the finished space.

Check out the LED Configurator here.

As always, DP’s customer service and concierge support are available to answer questions and guide you through the design and installation process.

New Satellite MLS Projectors Elevate Educational Pursuits at Virginia Tech

Universities across the nation are advancing their AV systems to keep pace with modern teaching practices. At Virginia Tech, DP’s new Satellite MLS projectors are part of the progressive curriculum. Installed in the university’s “Cube,” a highly regarded center for exploratory research and learning, the modular design of the projectors enables exceptional freedom in how lessons are presented. More compact and lighter than traditional projectors, each Satellite MLS can be moved and repositioned to best suit the particular course of study; for example, transitioning the Cube from a venue where art students can explore new digital mediums to that of a scientific laboratory that incorporates virtual reality.

Summer is prime time for campuses to update their classroom AV systems. Get your foot in the door now with a DP projector or LED display offering!

Continuing with the showcase of our Satellite MLS, Digital Projection demonstrated at a recent series of CEDIA Tech Summits for the residential market.

We provided our attendees the chance to experience incredible imagery with super sharp visuals and amazing color. For that big screen experience at home, this new model from Digital Projection is a true game changer!

We participated in the following summits:

  • October 18 in Denver, CO at the Denver Marriott West
  • November 1 in Irvine, CA at the Irvine Hilton
  • November 3 in Woodland Hills, CA at the Marriott Warner Center
  • December 6 in Tampa, FL at the Embassy Suites Tampa – USF/Near Busch Gardens
  • December 8 in Coral Springs, FL at the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Coral Springs Hotel & Convention Center

Digital Projection was thrilled to exhibit our current technology for the residential entertainment industry at the CEDIA Tech Summits.

On November 14-20, 2022, Digital Projection participated at LDI. LDI is a show that caters to Live Event Designers. In the past, Digital Projection has been a critical supplier to rental and staging companies. These days, Digital Projection is being used more often in Performing Arts venues as well as other “visitor attraction” venues such as amusement parks and museums.

Digital Projection partnered with an industry leader, AV Franklin. AV Franklin provides a variety of live event and staging products, including set elements, stage lightning, and of course great quality screens.

Digital Projection used AV Franklin’s booth at the show to display 2 incredibly popular projectors. On one screen we displayed one of our most dependable high-brightness 1-chip projectors, the M-Vision 21000. Illuminated by both red and blue lasers, this color accurate 20,000 lumen projector is an affordable workhorse! It is popular in large auditoriums, sanctuaries, and many other venues where large bright screens are a necessity.

We also displayed our revolutionary new Satellite Modular Laser System. It is a modular projection system that provides for a small projection head that is separated from modular light sources via a fiber optic cable. Our proprietary cable system allows the whisper quiet head to be installed up to 100 meters away from its light source. The entire system operates on 110V and can be as bright as 40,000 lumens.

LDI enjoyed great crowds in Las Vegas and the buzz around our new Satellite projector series was one of the main talking points at the show.

Our display products need to be seen to be fully appreciated, and that was accomplished at LDI.

MultiView is set to have a huge impact on the future of VR without Head Mounted Displays.

Our INSIGHT HFR 360 MultiView projector was first shown at ISE to much acclaim and is set to have a huge impact on the future of VR without Head Mounted Displays.

With Multi-View 3D projection, a single projector, with ultra-fast frame rates will accommodate several viewers, each being tracked and each having a view of the image that remains appropriate to their changing position. This allows the users to see and interact with each other in a truly shared collaborative manner.

The video below has been created by our parnters at the University of Weimar

To enable users to view images from their correct perspective, each user must be tracked to 6 Degrees of Freedom [6DOF] and Digital Projection has worked with leading industry partners in head tracking to achieve this. In every way, Digital Projection provides truly collaborative technology.

A closer look at MultiView and the INSIGHT HFR 360

If you or your company is involved in Commercial Audio, Video, and Data solutions and Unified Communication & Collaboration, then you should attend the Symco Technology Showcases, brought to you by Symco and AVIXA.

We’ll be there and these events are open to all Integrators, VARs, Consultants, Technology Managers, and End Users.  These sessions will provide you exposure to, and interaction with, today’s leading technology solutions…and the people who are designing, installing and using them. CTS RU classes will be provided so don’t miss this exciting opportunity to engage and see the latest in AV technology.

The NEW E-Vision 4000 4K-UHD is the perfect combination of high-quality imaging and affordability for smaller displays in a wide variety of spaces. With 3,300 lumens, this 4K projector delivers superb imaging complete with sharp visuals and beautiful colors, allowing its HDR capabilities to truly shine. Key to this new model is the spectacular 500,000:1 Advanced Black Contrast feature which produces stunningly crisp content in low-light environments.

For projectors at this price point, users will often have to select between a model with high brightness, but low contrast or vice versa. The E-Vision 4000 4K-UHD is unique in offering a strong balance of both depending on the needs of the space in which it is installed. While many projectors offer HDR as a feature, few affordable models have the illumination capabilities to showcase its full potential – this isn’t an issue with the E-Vision 4000 4K.

Further, the E-Vision 4000 4K is unique in that it is the only 4K solution that utilizes laser-illuminated DLP technology at this price point. With DLP technology being the premier choice for the most discerning, commercial displays, the E-Vision 4000 4K puts this technology within the reach of residential users and spaces.

Jérôme Cadilhac Joins Digital Projection

Digital Projection has hired Jérôme Cadilhac as its business development manager for the South of France, a newly created role, effective immediately.

Cadilhac will report to Digital Projection’s EMEA sales and marketing manager, Dirk Siedle, as well as working closely with Stéphane Bourdon, Digital Projection’s historical sales manager for France, Spain, Portugal, and North Africa.

“I have been working in the audio-visual world since 2006,” said Cadilhac. “After five years at French AV wholesaler, IXAM, I spent nine years at Christie Digital Systems, where I was first in charge of projector, LED, and media server distribution in the South of France, then across the country for the company’s new ‘Enterprise’ vertical.

“These 14 years of experience in the field mean that I have an excellent grasp of the various distribution networks in France and have built solid relationships with the main players in the market; from integrators and service providers to design offices and wholesalers.”

Although Cadilhac’s designated sector will be ‘South of France’ he will also be involved more widely with major key accounts thanks to his pre-existing relationships with the companies.

“I’ve known about the potential of Digital Projection’s product range for a long time,” said Cadilhac. “Stéphane Bourdon has done excellent work for over a decade, and now is the perfect time to strengthen the team and the brand’s dominance in the French market when other players seem to be pulling back.

“Digital Projection is a company that is as innovative as it is adaptable. The company has been very smart in the way it’s been growing over the years, and their new RGB laser range (with the Satellite MLS) is a particularly good illustration of this. Despite its reach, the team remains close on an interpersonal level, and the managers are dynamic and attentive to the teams in the field, an environment I look forward to returning to.”

Cadilhac identified Digital Projection’ cutting edge 3-Chip DLP® laser RGB Satellite MLS as one of the key products for the company moving forward along with the Radiance LED range.

“On a daily basis, it is the sale of the DLP Laser projector range that will get my full attention,” he confirmed. “My main objective is to significantly increase Digital Projection’s turnover in France and to structure the office to meet the high expectations of our partners, who I hope will be more and more numerous in the months to come. My existing contacts in the industry were all interested to hear that I’d joined Digital Projection, and the relationship of mutual trust that we’ve built over the years will very quickly enable us to strengthen our presence on the French market.”

Digital Projection’s Dirk Siedle added: “We’re really happy to bring Jérôme on board. His breadth of experience in the French professional projection market will be invaluable to us moving forward and his already established relationships are sure to help us increase our footprint in this strategically important market.”
