Colourful and fun-filled events were held at different locations across the city and Christie high-powered projection was at the centre of the action. Auditoire was awarded the project for the Doha Corniche, which featured illumination, audio and large scale PA equipment, video projection and LED screens, distributed along the Corniche area. TechnoPro (Qatar) was awarded the execution and supply of the technical production.
As a part of the celebrations, a giant 36m x 25m projection on the Commercial Bank building presented images of Qatar's past, alongside Qatari children's artwork, over a three-day period. TechnoPro llc selected four Christie Roadster S+20K SXGA+, 3-chip DLP projectors to present the artworks in a colourful and vivid outdoor display, on the giant landscape.
The building itself measured 86m high and TechnoPro used warping technology to feed the signal, blend the four sections of the image and correct the Keystone of the picture.
The four Christie Roadster 20,000 ANSI lumens projectors, fitted with long throw zoom lenses, were installed at ground level, facing the building from a 130m distance.
Stated TechnoPro MD, Nabil Bourgeili: "This was one of the more interesting and outstanding features of the festivities. Once again Christie's high-powered projectors proved their ability on a large scale."
