Christie Digital Systems Helps Planetarium Visitors Probe Universe
Summary
Part of a major renovation through E&S’ local agent, Siam TC Technology Company Ltd. that included the installation of 280 new, customized leather seats and a themed wall and lighting system, the installation is popular with astronomy buffs of all ages and features two Christie Boxer 4K30s projecting seamlessly onto the 65-foot (20 meter) dome using both the Digistar 5 and existing Zeiss system. Scott Niskach, Director of International Sales for Evans & Sutherland, said the Zeiss optical mechanical projector - while effective - is limited to Earth-based observation such as observing the constellations, while the Digistar 5 system can lift off from Earth, penetrating deep into the cosmos, affording the opportunity of seeing the planets, nebulae, distant galaxies, and other intergalactic matter up close in seconds. Digistar contains the entire known universe modeled in three-dimensions allowing audiences to fly through the stars and experience front-row views of the most amazing places astronomers have discovered,” Niskach added. Michael Daut, Creative Director/Marketing Director for E&S, emphasized how key the omnidirectional capabilities and brightness of Christie Boxer projectors were to this project. They include a host of smart monitoring features, single-phase power, built-in warping and blending, omnidirectional capabilities, a full-range of connectivity and Christie TruLife™ electronics.
