Digital Projection equips a virtual studio with its M-Vision lasers

The French rental and scenography company CarpeDiem Evènement has installed the laser projectors of Digital Projection for your new virtual recording studio and generate additional income.

In the heart of the French Alps, The event scenography company CarpeDiem Evènement has built a new virtual recording studio, called Studio 321, that uses the M-Vision laser projectors of Digital Projection compared to other technologies, how Led Video.

After recently moving to a larger facility, CarpeDiem Evènement took the opportunity to transform an unused space of 321 m2 in a virtual studio. State-of-the-art facilities to offer AV equipment for brands and companies in the area.

Studio 321 It has a main space for the Virtual production of the recordings and an adjoining room, of 40 m2, for production. In the first, a white cyclorama wall has been installed in the shape of a L, of 24×4 meters with a 90° circular angle on the ground that offers Multiple camera angles, with a Immersive visual background.

The floor has been covered in white, which allows this large canvas to be used for video projection and recording of productions of all kinds, from photo shoots and company presentations to demos.

For maximum versatility, the project manager of CarpeDiem and Studio 321, Andréas Vion-Endresen, opted for Digital Projection's video projection technology over Led. "Among other things, We organize photo shoots, So we needed a surface that was uniformly white throughout to minimize shadows. This is not possible with an Led screen in the background".

Another deciding factor was the cost of the screen. "The studio had to be operational every day to attend to last-minute requests. Maintain a fixed LED display of 96 m2 in it would have been a very expensive investment in terms of energy consumption, not to mention the price of high-quality equipment to meet the recording requirements".

To achieve the right visual impact, The researchers estimated that four video projectors would be needed. CarpeDiem Evènement relied on two single-chip DLP devices M-Vision Laser 21000 of Digital Projection, whose 21.000 lumens brightness and WUXGA resolution They ensure an immersive experience for both live and time-shifted events.

The incorporation of the ColorBoost+Red laser technology in these Digital Projection projectors it also produces a much wider color gamut, allowing for more realistic reproduction of images.

"We already had two M-Vision laser projectors from Digital Projection with image alignment," Vion-Endresen points out. After successful testing with them, We realized that we only needed two more to complete this setup. The last step was to try to find a way to lower them from the ceiling for easier use at events and reinstall them quickly to maximise profitability.".

Ceiling-mounted, the four M-Vision lasers project content in superimposed images, in a great pantalla de 24 meters long, via HDBaseT network connection. To save time during reinstallation, The Automatic recalibration technology Vioso 6, which made the studio operational in less than an hour.

At the back of the studio is located on a PC the Vioso multimedia server 6, Mounted on a custom rack, combined with a capture card DataPath 2xHDMI 4K 4:4:4. One TouchDesigner platform Manages fonts and provides access to a graphical remote control, that outputs signals to M-Vision laser projectors using Vioso's calibration technology.

Twelve fixed luminaires MAC Aura of Martin Lighting; four VXC8 ceiling speakers, Audio Matrix MTX3 and an amplifier XMV Eight-channel, All from the manufacturer Yamaha, Complete the installation.

"The time saved by Vioso's automatic calibration tool is the cornerstone of our studio's economic model," says Vion-Endresen. We have invested more than 100.000 euros in this installation and using our M-Vision laser projectors one day in the field and the next day in the studio allows us to Quickly make this investment profitable».

Other advantages of these projectors are their Quiet operation, the Solid-State Laser Technology and the ability to maintain consistent gloss levels over time. During the trial period, Vion-Endresen compared lamp source vs. laser technology, finally confirming that "the intensity of light does not decrease in laser equipment, regardless of projection time, and they do not need any type of maintenance".

Among other applications, He points out that "we use projectors for large screens during conventions, as well as to map buildings, always creating an immersive and captivating experience. These teams are powerful, lightweight and, together with Vioso's calibration software, allow us to expand our services, diversify the offer and increase revenues".

Jérôme Cadilhac, Business Development Manager at Digital Projection, he adds that "I have been working with CarpeDiem Evènement for about ten years and I have seen how the company has grown spectacularly. The creation of this studio is a further step and I am convinced that our M-Visions will fulfill their new mission perfectly. The projectors are not only robust and of exceptional quality, but their versatility makes them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. In combination with Vioso, The studio is a success".
