On the occasion of his 50 birthday, The Brighton Pavilion became an emblematic enclave thanks to the video mapping that was projected on its façade.

The theme chosen for this projection was based on the history of the building itself and the role it played during the First World War as a hospital for wounded Indian soldiers.. With this argument 'Dr Blighty' was born, a ten-minute piece directed by Ajay Chhabra and whose content was created by immersive animation experts Novak with music from Shri Shri Ram.

Its facade, reminiscent of a Maharajah's palace, was illuminated with brilliant images that further highlighted its architectural details with vibrant colors.

Novak's design required continuous projection, that flowed uninterrupted across all surfaces, which involved covering all the architectural elements with projected light and from all possible angles., of the most notable architectural landmarks to the back of the columns.

To achieve the necessary coverage, it was necessary 22 synchronized HD outputs, sent from the d3 4x4pro servers of D3 Technologies, and a projection power of 500.000 lumens.

Six Christie Boxer 4K30 projectors 30.000 lumens and 16 Christie WU20K-J WUXGA de 20.000 lumens, arranged in vertical and horizontal orientation and with a range of lenses from 0.72:1 y 3.89:1, were necessary for the realization of this videomapping. The signals reached each projector individually via multicore fiber optics., con 9 structures housed in the projectors and control equipment. The sound infrastructure was delivered by a system of d&b audiotechnik.
