"The link" has quickly become a crowd pleaser drawing guests to the walkway with a stairway at the front and LED video tiles across its front, back and side walls and ceiling. “Everybody comments about it and takes pictures or videos,” says Josh Swift, Senior Project Manager – Audio Visual with JCM Global. “It’s definitely an attention-getter.”
High-resolution CreateLED 1.9 mm tiles comprise the truly three-dimensional installation, which measures 35 feet wide, 30 feet deep and 14 feet high. JCM Global faced architectural challenges with “The Link’s” sloped floor, curved walkway and varied ceiling height. The video content “had to line up perfectly over the stairs and stay perfect across the walkway although the floor slopes and the ceiling is different heights,” Swift notes.
He notes that “The Link” has an 8K file canvas overall with 14 inputs that require synchronization. Sources include the media servers for content, media players running off gaming systems for marketing messages, plus 13 JBL audio speakers and a sub woofer, BSS DSP and Crown amplifiers for immersive audio.
“The basic video background is one layer while the animals and VFX form another seven or eight layers, then there are the windows for marketing displays and other messages,” explains Swift. “Analog Way is extremely efficient at being able to size those windows and configure what’s needed for the display.”
