Christie and Charmex provide immersive projection technology for the Vila-sana CIM

Manufacturer and wholesaler have collaborated with Inside Consultores and Creative Rent in the AV creation of the Vila-sana Immersion Center (CIM), that has revitalized this town in the province of Lérida.

The promotion project of the municipality of Vila-sana (Lleida), as part of the Catalan government program Living in Poble Mes and European Feder funds to revitalize this area in which its lagoon has been regenerated so that the birds return to this wetland, has the CIM (Vila-sana Immersion Center).

Designed by communication specialist, branding and corporate architecture Inside Consultants, In this room visitors can see the film The Lake of Ivars and Vila-sana, fourteen minutes long about this rich natural reserve in Catalonia, also made by this company and shot in 4K, timelapse and aerial recordings with drones.

This documentary, in which all the moments of the day in the lagoon and its ornithological habitat are collected, It is projected in a super panoramic format adapted to this space, with stepped amphitheater-shaped design, and its 10" curved screen×2 metros, which forms a 90º semicircle, “that follows andropometric principles”, as they point out from this company.

The auditorium therefore has a small round platform in front of this curved screen and, below the stands, whose curvature design inverse to the screen simulates the effect of the waves created by a stone falling on water.

Added to this is a Surround surround audio system. 7.1, that offers 360º sound in the room so that the visitor has the feeling of being inside the movie, with realistic fonts and sound effects.

Three signature projectors Christie in blending and a server allow a single image to be reproduced on this large curved screen, no breaks, as well as other types of standard formats (4:3 y 16:9).

In its development, the specialists of Creative Rent they contacted Charmex, partner of this B2B audiovisual manufacturer and supplier, to provide them with three projectors of the DHD600-G model, a device with 1DLP technology that offers 6.200 center lumens, with an optimal contrast ratio 4.800:1 and homogeneous color, with a resolution of 1920×1.080p HD.

As Xavier Romeu explains, director of Inside Consultores, the architects found teams at the level of their creation, “since the quality offered by these projectors is very high and the image is very well defined. Systems at the level of 4K projection were needed and we have achieved it. There is no other room like it in Catalonia that has this equipment.”.
