Barco Beijing and Glory Vision have developed a 3D video
system, consisting of a large, curved 3D projection
screen, especially for the Beijing Capital Museum ’s
exhibitions on Chinese and Beijing history and installed
a Medialon Show Manager system to control the Barco
system plus all of the museum’s projectors, computers
and room lighting.
The Beijing Capital Museum , located in the 14th century
Confucius Temple , focuses on life in Beijing in bygone
days through pictures, models and cultural relics,
including stoneware, bronzes, ceramics, stone
inscriptions, calligraphy and paintings. A recent
reconstruction project lasted for four years and has
resulted in 13 themed exhibition rooms displaying 5,622
items. The museum covers an area of 63,390 square meters
and boasts a 2,000 square meter central hall. It is
second in size only to the China National Museum.
Medialon met the challenge of a short turnaround time,
which required considerable on-site improvisation.
Medialon Show Manager pilots six display computers and
the main computer at the museum, six projectors
controlled by a serial box server, and four room
lighting relays controlled by a Nudam relay box.
Show Manager acts like an intelligent remote,
controlling computers and projectors with a countdown to
replay the show and dim the room light. Medialon trained
museum technicians to use the system for current and
future installations.
