Panasonic projectors at the D-Day Landing Museum: An immersive historical experience.

Visitors are first invited to take a seat in an auditorium, for an introductory film on the period between 1919 and 1944, projected by a PT-RZ790 mono-DLP™ laser projector.

They will then cross an overpass and have the opportunity to view a 10m x 3m panoramic image that depicts the events of the night of June 5 into June 6, 1944. A ray of light is welcome after reliving some of the darkest hours in modern history. 

The projection distance is very short in this immersive space, leading integrator Auvisys to choose four 1-Chip DLP PT-RZ790 laser projectors and ET-DLE060 short-throw lenses. As visitors are in close proximity to projectors, these are set to 'QUIET' mode to ensure that viewers are not disturbed. The projector brightness has been adjusted to ensure constant light output.
 

All projectors are connected in HDBaseT™, via the DIGITAL LINK port. This guarantees a reliable connection over long cabling distances. Integration is discreet and secure, with a single cable connecting the projector and video source. 

Panasonic's laser projectors require minimal maintenance. The 3LCD PT-MZ and 1-Chip DLP PT-RZ series are designed to deliver 20,000 hours of maintenance-free operation with long-lasting brightness and color uniformity, thanks to a state-of-the-art dust-resistant optical engine. 

"The high level of technological innovation within the museum, thanks to Panasonic's market-leading projectors, brings a pivotal part of history into the present day."concludes Frédéric Sommier.
