Jerusalem celebrates 50 anniversary of the city's reunification with a spectacular projection

Twenty Epson EB-L25000U projectors were installed to illuminate its walls., with more than six kilometers of fiber optic cables and one hundred hubs, and hundreds of drones were used. This combination has allowed us to create colorful animated images under a sky covered in messages and shapes..

On the occasion of 50 anniversary of the reunification of the city of Jerusalem, The walls of the Ancient City became a large-scale audiovisual spectacle. This is one of the most ambitious projects in which twenty projectors have been synchronized to illuminate 4.500 square meters with colorful animated images under a sky covered with messages and shapes created with hundreds of illuminated drones.

This project combined the capacity of the most modern laser projection and drone technologies with the resistance of the walls, that have stood for almost five hundred years, to narrate the history of the city through cheerful and colorful images in a challenging environment for projectors where heat and dust accumulation predominate. To carry it out, EB-L25000U 3LCD laser installation projectors were used. Epson.

“When we conceived the idea of ​​participating in one of the largest multimedia projects organized to date in Israel, “We were clear that we had to use the most avant-garde technology to break the mold and create a whole world of content and ideas that were practically unimaginable.”, Affirma Malki Shem-Tov, co-producer and co-CEO of AVS, company specialized in multimedia solutions from Israel and responsible for the show.

In addition to the twenty Epson projectors, and with the technical help of S.A.. Systems, an Epson Israel collaborator, AVS deployed six kilometers of fiber optics and one hundred hubs to transmit the images to the projectors.

“The final spectacle that the citizens of Israel were able to enjoy on the night of the inauguration, and that you can see until mid-July, “It is the result of more than two months of intensive planning effort.”, explains Lee Harrison, development director of the Professional Displays division of Epson Europe.

“The EB-L25000U model is the most advanced and powerful Epson laser projector with which the Japanese firm has entered a new era in large-scale fixed projection.. Our new flagship projector, which is already being used all over the world for congresses, outdoor events and large-scale shows, It weighs less and is smaller than competing models and offers a very powerful light source of 25.000 lumens. Besides, It is tough and very durable to function properly for hours without interruption under extreme environmental conditions., like the 35 degrees of heat and dust that we found in Jerusalem”, Harrison continues..

The endurance and reliability of the EB-L25000U has overcome the dusty and hot environment in which it had to operate. Besides, Its installation was simple thanks to a cooling system that allows the installation of the projector, and even the projection, at any angle, as well as a sturdy tubular frame and base structure that prevent damage from impacts during transport and assembly.

Besides, Its sealed optical unit and inorganic phosphorescent wheel provide 20.000 hours of reliable operation, maintenance free. And its 4K enhancement technology has made it possible to reproduce clear images on a large scale.
