The Mundo E shopping center has a mapping on an ice rink

Eight Christie D13WU-HS projectors and Pandoras Box Quad Player and Pandoras Box Manager media servers have been used for the installation of this video mapping.

Located north of Mexico City, and with 30 million visitors per year, World E It is one of the most important shopping centers in the country. Recently, It was remodeled with a new, modern architecture that includes more than 300 Commercial premises and entertainment venues.

Likewise, It has an ice rink on whose surface a video mapping of 34.75 is projected×17,26 meters that can be seen every day from seven in the evening. This facility, called 'Recórcholis', impact the public through personalized content with temporary themes such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, etc.

This is the only projection of this type that has been made in the country and for its realization the company Altea, Project Manager, has used eight laser phosphor projectors the HS Series of Christie as well as its Pandoras Box system.

Altea has installed eight Christie D13WU-HS projectors that work in dual and have been mounted in the four corners of the track, to approximately 15 meters high. Each pair of projectors covers the opposite quadrant of the ice rink. These are very quiet projectors with 1DLP technology that offer 13.500 ISO lumens and WUXGA resolution.

"We chose these Christie devices mainly because of the duration of their light source", explains Carlos Márquez, projection director of Altea. HS Series projectors offer 20.000 Hours of low-cost lampless operation.

"Its dimensions and weight were also crucial factors in its choice, since they are suspended in false walls. In his operation we also noticed a high contrast (Deeper blacks) and, thanks to built-in BoldColor technology, the intensity of its colors is superior to many products with which I have had the opportunity to work", adds Márquez.

On the other hand, The use of blending and warping is essential to fit the images precisely into the large surface on which they are projected. "Because of the complexity of the shot and the unique position possible for this project, The cross-court shots required a lot of blending and warping work. Despite the light conditions and the complexity of the shot, an excellent result was achieved", explains the projection director of Altea.

To manage the projection of this mapping in Mundo E, Altea has installed a Pandoras Box Quad Player and Pandoras Box Manager solutions. "These media servers allow us to control and automate all the projections, offering enormous creativity and flexibility", says Carlos Márquez.
