Medialon is providing both show control and digital
signage to Barcelona 's Museo de la Ciencia (Science
Museum).
Medialon Manager, installed by Barcelona-based
Bienvenido Gil, supplies show control for the
Planetarium where "A Journey in Space and Time" offers a
total immersion experience for visitors. An advanced 3D
astronomical simulation system and a powerful High
Definition audiovisual system unite in a merger of
animation and digital video to present a look at the
universe at different moments in history.
Medialon Manager starts the pre-programmed, scheduled
sessions in the Planetarium and controls the projections
of the cosmos by being slaved to the astronomical
simulation system, which renders 3D images of the sky.
Medialon also interfaces with a Dataton Watchout system,
which blends projected images for a seamless panorama of
the night sky.
Medialon Manager is also utilized to control live,
interactive events staged for special groups in the
Planetarium. In this application, the speaker may use
the system to trigger a pre-programmed presentation,
pausing and running the show as he/she interacts with
the audience. In addition, the system can be used to run
original multimedia presentations using standard sources
and projectors to play back media files. Medialon
Manager acts as the presentation master controller
allowing the speaker to conduct the presentation
according to the audience reaction.
Lunatus of Barcelona also ensured that Medialon also
takes the lead in the museum's dynamic signage system.
The Medialon Display System, a software suite which can
mix any kind of regular media to deliver messages,
distributes networked multimedia content to 50 player
stations whose screens supply information on temporary
museum exhibitions and guide visitors around the science
center. Displaying both video and slides, the signage
system provides effective show support as well as serves
as a helpful way-finding device.
Thanks to its powerful programming system, Medialon
Display System's scheduling and delivery process can be
easily adapted to various applications. It is comprised
of two main software programs: Display Controller to
create, schedule and deliver playlists and Display
Player to play back.
Jordi Pages of Bienvenido Gil installed the planetarium
system and Luis Pique of Lunatus installed the signage
system. |
