Client: Ramus / Fed Square
Location: Melbourne, VIC, Australia
Year: 2018
iion worked with Ramus on the physical design and control system, as well as content commissioning and dynamic/interactive content.
The scale of the building and desired pixel pitch meant the canvas resolution exceeded 4K. At the time this would normally have required more that one LED processor, as well as other compromises within the control system (especially balancing output quality with signal chain complexity and latency). We implemented CORE, making use of its powerful remapping features to generate a pixel-perfect virtual canvas and driving the entire facade through a single processor.
Knowing live sources would frequently be displayed on the facade, CORE's combined capture, playback, compositing, mapping, and output capabilities ensured video latency was minimised.
We consulted with content creators on the unique potential of this particular platform for the creation of dynamic artworks and interactive pieces, as well as working with local tertiary institutions to see student works successfully showcased on the big screen.
