Spotlight approached German distributor, ETHA, who specified a Digital Projection Titan Super Quad 20,000 lumens 3-chip DLP projection system, as well as two Digital Projection E-Vision Laser 8500 lumen projectors to meet the company's imaging requirements.
Deployed immediately, the Titan Super Quad projected imagery and words onto the main curtain for the musical world premiere of Der Medicus. Staged in Fulda, the town celebrated as the leading centre for German musical productions, Der Medicus is the German adaptation of Noah Gordon's international best seller, The Physician.
The two Digital Projection E-Vision Laser 8500 were positioned side by side and precision edge blended - a standard feature of the model - to project content created by Czech video designer, Petr HlouÂek, onto the front of the 13m x 5m opera foil.
The projection system was such a success; it has been assured a permanent position. Spotlight's latest production, Treasure Island, has also benefitted from the newly discovered design versatility. The Titan Super Quad powerful 3-chip projector is once again in place to illuminate and illustrate the front of the main curtain, as well as onto a half circular screen with a 6-metre diameter through the performance.
Maik Walter, Spotlight's technical director, commented, "The projection was an immediate success and presented no challenges to us. We chose these models from Digital Projection because we wanted a cost-effective solution for versatile, large-scale and high quality projection of imagery. We have all this and more and we also have received the most wonderful service from both ETHA and Digital Projection. We - and our customer - could not be happier."
