Quince Imaging has helped the University of Tulsa to debut one of college athletics’ most cutting-edge projection mapping system setups ever, with a powerful combination of four Christie Digital D4K40 laser projectors, AV Stumpfl PIXERA media servers, BlackTrax tracking, CUE Audio integration, and Quince’s original 3D content.
For over 25 years, Virginia-based Quince Imaging has regularly taken live event experiences to the next level, through the use of the latest high-quality video and imaging technology. As an early adopter of projection mapping technology in particular, the company pioneered the use of real-time rendering and projection technology in many of the US’s professional sports leagues.
As part of the Tulsa setup, the Quince team also honoured the 50 year legacy of the legendary “Pong” by developing a custom paddle ball game that helped fans feel closer to their team by allowing them to interact with projections on the basketball court. It was also the first time that Quince Imaging used AV Stumpfl’s PIXERA real-time media server system.
“There was very little time between the first project meeting and the actual commissioning, but the flexibility of the PIXERA platform made it possible for our team to realise the final installation very quickly,” said Quince account manager Dan Ribaudo.
The ability to cross connect multiple show control technologies proved another decisive advantage. “We built a PIXERA control webpage, which made operating the setup very easy, even for minimally trained production staff,” he added.
