Water World Ocean Park trusted the systems integrator CosmoVision to carry out the design and implementation of the entire facility's AV system, including the large Led screen. A project in which the flexibility of the systems was a requirement to guarantee perfect integration in a somewhat unique public leisure place..

CosmoVision Technical Sales Engineer, Jason Yeung, this is how he explains it: “we had the luxury of pre-programming the Pixera server in our workshop before deploying the unit on site. With the project configured and prepared before installation, Aligning the resolution pixel by pixel with the Led screen was very simple due to its flexibility”.

Together with Pixera two media server, the project also includes a switch Calibre HQPro1000 Seamless for live feed processing, as well as Led control systems and reception cards NovaStar.

Cameras and basic controls BirdDog IS They have also been integrated throughout the indoor wave pool to showcase visuals when hosting events and parties..

The reason for this choice was to ensure a bright and sharp image in the indoor wave pool, which receives a lot of natural light from the top of the canvas, thus guaranteeing an optimal image.
