First Panasonic Media Processor To Simplify Multi-projection For Immersive Experiences
Traditionally computing power for immersive experiences is installed in dedicated server rooms – taking valuable space and requiring lots of cabling and power. The new Media Processor enables a new flexible and efficient approach with computing power deployed locally in the cellular system, with each projector having its own GPU close by. This eliminates cabling and provides resilience against signal loss.
The Media Processor combines the computing power of a media server with the flexibility of a compact and cost efficient media player enabling content to be projected onto any surface such as flat and curved screen with capabilities for domed and 3D objects to follow in future versions. The new Media Processor will be available in two formats. A compact hardware box for convenient location outside of the media server room and closer to the projectors and an Intel Smart Display Module (SDM) version for integration directly into Panasonic SDM-equipped projectors simplifying systems. Both versions will be available for an exclusive preview at ISE 2024 in Barcelona from January 30th to February 2nd.
“For the entertainment industry, it’s all about delivering the best possible immersive experience for audiences with minimal fuss,” explained Hartmut Kulessa, European Marketing Manager for Visual System Solutions at Panasonic Connect Europe. “Our new Media Processor draws on all our experience in this sector and is easier to transport, set-up and operate than traditional media processors whilst making it simple to deliver the all-important quality of image when using multiple projectors.”
Everything about the new Media Processor is designed to make the lives of operators easier without compromising on quality. For touring attractions, it reduces transportation space, speeds installation and set-up time with its tailored functionality, minimizes the need for skilled engineers and enables users to deal with just one manufacturer in case of any questions or issues. For fixed installations it also provides the choice to reduce costs by eliminating the need for the server room and extensive cabling – removing backroom infrastructure and providing more space for the attraction.
“Our vision is to continue to simplify the AV systems and workflows for the Location Based Entertainment industry,” added Hartmut. “As we move forward, we will develop new functionality for the system while ensuring that users have the flexibility to update only what they require. This will further increase usability and maximise return on investment from the solution.”
The box type Panasonic Media Processor is scheduled for release in Q2 of 2024 with the SDM version to follow in Q4 of 2024.
