Germany - Commissioned by Airbus, the Hamburg events agency Kontrapunkt staged the hand-over of the first A380 wide-bodied jet to the Emirates airline with a multimedia show that included elaborate panorama projections for the 500-plus guests gathered on the premises of Airbus in Hamburg. Images of the official hand-over to the Arab airline went all round the world. To provide media support for the delivery of the aircraft, Kontrapunkt engaged the tst Gesellschaft für audiovisuelle Systeme, a company based in Berlin.

For the event, tst provided among other things a 20 x 4m soft-edged panorama projection using purpose four Barco FLM R20+ projectors of 20,000 Ansi lumens each in connection with ten Wings Platinum 3 from AV Stumpfl for the master, slave and redundant computers as well as further equipment. A particular challenge for the tst team was the very short projection distance onto the roller screen used, this being a mere 4.6m.

The roller screen was raised during grand finale to reveal the new Airbus A380 of which Emirates was taking delivery, which was parked on the runway.
