Production company, 3D Communications together with their technical staging specialists, The Show Company and computer graphics design house, Cadco, teamed up with Blitz Birmingham to give the presentation a futuristic look. It was delivered on a hemispherical centre screen and the challenge for Blitz was to select projection equipment that would ensure the sharpest images and allow maximum flexibility in manipulating both videotape and graphics images on this centre screen as well as two side screen areas.
Blitz selected six digital projector 5100s and two Extron 408s to switch videotape and graphics between all three screens. In order to maximize available space within the conference room, the images were front projected from a 20mt truss flown high above the audience. Jan Da Costa, managing director of 3D commented: "It is always difficult finding impactful ways of delivering these corporate messages, but the outstanding feedback we had from our client and their members was extremely positive. We shall certainly consider this type of approach in the future."
