The
8,000-square-meter Hong Kong Space Museum has recently renovated the
Stanley Ho Space Theatre. The theater, sheltered beneath the museum’s
famous egg-shaped dome, is part of the planetarium area of the museum.
Integrated by PCCW, one of the leading AV and IT solutions company
provider based in Hong-Kong, a Medialon Control system is part of the
cutting-edge digital planetarium system installed in the Stanley Ho
Space theatre.
The Hong Space Museum, which hosts a diameter of 23 meters hemispherical
projection, is one of the first planetarium in the world to possess a
fully automatic control system in its theatre. It has also been the
first to have installed an OMNIMAX film projector in Asia.
The world highest resolutions Sky-Skan Definiti 8K full dome system is
driving 6 sets of SONY T110 SXRD video projectors for impressive full
dome moving pictures, and many others advanced audio visual devices.
Inside the theatre, the Medialon system coordinates the e:cue based LED
lighting system, a Dataton Watchout multi-display system, a Yamaha
digital mixer controlling multi channel sound to the 13 clusters of
MeyerSound loudspeakers behind the dome, the OMNIMAX large format film
projector, as well as the Carl Zeiss planetarium optical projector
through special automation interface, together with a SPICE package from
Sky-Skan to easily run different types of show in a day.
“The easy to change user screen and powerful logical task features of
Medialon Manager enable accurate operation of all shows. The powerful
Medialon Low Level Communicator (LLC) driver ensures good connectivity
to different devices, especially those in house custom made system.”
says Kai-Ming Wong, Project Manager at PPCW. “All these advanced
functions and features help to maintain quality in show delivering.”, he
concludes.
After a seven-month closure due to large-scale renovation, the Hong Kong
Space Museum's Stanley Ho Space Theatre reopened with a tremendous
success and positive responses from the visitors.
