As with all projection applications, there is more to a respectable display than just the
projector. An effective display solution relies on several factors that are essential to
maintaining a setup that serves your requirements to the best standard possible. One
such component is the projection screen, something which Pro Display and Eclipse
Installations knows all too well. One of Eclipse Installations’ most recent projects
required an innovative alternative to conventional large video walls in order to avoid
the dissecting bezels that cuts content into parts. The Chalhoub Group were seeking a
single screen solution for their luxury shoe store, Level Shoes in The Dubai Mall to
display high-quality content, without the usual join lines that are so often seen on
traditional video walls.
Pro Display rose to the challenge by supplying their unique optical screen technology
for ultra-short throw rear projection applications – Digital Glass. Digital Glass is a
rather special screen that displays incredibly high-quality images. Manufactured by
using a special process that coats their advanced proprietary optical projection layer
directly onto ultra-clear glass or cast acrylic, Digital Glass is a cost effective large
format Ultra HD screen that is specifically designed for Ultra Short Throw applications,
allowing it to be used in areas where space is limited and at a premium. In this case,
it served as a high-quality alternative to video walls alongside an Epson EB-L1405U
projector, which is a large-venue projector that combines a laser light source and
3LCD technology for powerful, uncompromising images, meeting The Chalhoub
Group’s requirements.
Epson comments, “Eclipse Installations’ concern was to find a trusted vendor that
could provide a high-quality projector for this prestigious project. They decided to
meet with Epson’s team in Dubai to understand whether they could provide an apt
solution and, for the Rear Projection surface, the UK based company Pro Display.’ Pro
Display’s reputation in AV innovation is one to behold. They pride themselves on their
commitment to the development of their technologies, operating for over 25 years in
optical screen Research & Development. Digital Glass falls amongst one of their
newest innovations, catching the interest of major projector manufacturers all over
the world for its outstanding image quality and performance.
David Fell, the director of Eclipse Installations, comments on the collaboration:
“Clients come to us because they know we source the very best equipment possible
for the solutions we design and, with that, that we will not compromise on
performance or quality; choosing to work with Epson and Pro Display for a project like
this was, therefore, a natural choice.’ He adds, “Quality and performance have always
been our criteria when choosing our technology partners.’
Pro Display is proud to have contributed to this amazing project and look forward
continuing to collaborate with Eclipse Installations and Epson in the future. Ben
Hadfield, Pro Display’s sales lead on this project explains “Pro Display have a great
working relationship with partners. We have worked hard over the years to build a
solid global reseller network which sees our products sold all over the world. We are
delighted to be able to work alongside companies such as Epson and Eclipse
Installations at each stage of a project’s life – allowing us to be a part of some of the
world’s most exciting and pioneering AV installations, as well as putting us in a
position to offer advice and support, ensuring the project is completed to the highest
of standards.’
