Banking on PID
Supplier: Projected Image Digital / PID
More Projected Image Digital / PID details
|
Projected Image Digital (PID), working closely with architectural lighting design practice Indigo Light Planning, has specified and installed a spectacular Element Labs VersaPIXEL ceiling effect for the house gymnasium of a leading investment bank in London’s Canary Wharf area.
PID supplied 1500 25mm square VersaPIXEL's, a VersaDRIVE C1 driver and a Pharos LPC1 architectural lighting controller for the project.
The company also designed and manufactured custom steel mounting brackets for the VersaPIXEL's, which are installed in the room’s ceiling panels, and created 17 special clips of digital content.
Each clip is tailored to suit the pixel pitch of the screen, offering a wide variety of visuals including rainbows, spirals, Tetris space invaders, graphic equalizer effects, runners, clouds, weather symbols, lines and rings, birds, stars, heart traces, flying boxes and water - plus a retro 1970's clip.
Indigo's brief from project managers Logitek was to transform the former car parking space in the building’s basement into a vibrant, funky, inspirational relaxation and work-out area for staff.
The shape of the 'front' end of the gym (a 'stepped' space that has been scooped out from the former car parking decks) lent itself to being fitted with some sort of visual feature, with most of the work-out machines lined up to face this.
The pitch of the VersaPIXEL ceiling varies across its entire surface area and starts above the first row of gym machines where it is a sparse 1,000mm. This gradually increases in density until the ceiling drops vertically, creating a wall of pixels at a 125mm pitch.
The content has been specifically programmed so each clip plays back across the sparse area first, moving across the ceiling until it finally appears on the higher density area where it has the most dramatic impact.
The 1,500 VersaPIXEL's are controlled from a VersaDRIVE C1 controller. The C1 is connected to 11 PSUBB units, connected and addressed via a 6 pin Element Labs data cable leading back to a number of Pharos PHUB32s each of which connects to up to 32 VersaPIXEL's.
The video content is stored on the VersaDRIVE C1 which is then triggered by the Pharos architectural control unit, which was timeline programmed to fit the gym's opening hours.
