CANTON, OH – February 12, 2010 – The Pro Football Hall Of Fame's GameDay Stadium Theater recently received a major AV overhaul featuring two Digital Projection large-venue projectors.
Specified by the Russ Berger Design Group (RBDG) and integrated by Altel Systems Group, the updated venue includes two rooms displaying separate but synchronized programs, a turntable floor to move the audience and a series of video displays in the waiting area. By moving the theater from film projection to HD video projection, program content can now be updated efficiently and cost-effectively.
Displaying footage shot by NFL Films of Mount Laurel, N.J, the GameDay Theater uses two distinct Digital Projection projectors. A 20,000 lumen Lightning 40-1080p lights up the main theater's 30-foot-by-16-foot Stewart Filmscreen Cinecurve screen, while a 5,000-lumen Titan 1080p Ultra Contrast projector is installed in a companion theater, which also uses a Stewart screen. The digital content is synchronized with an Alcorn McBride V16 Pro Show Controller, which also acts as a control trigger for the automatic doors, rotation of the theater and all aspects of lighting and video playback.
The Pro Football Hall Of Fame also uses Digital Projection's dVision 30-1080p projector in an interactive section of the venue. Displaying archival footage of some of the best-known coaches and players in the NFL, the dVision feeds a screen measuring about 12 feet in width.
"When the Pro Football Hall of Fame asked RBDG to upgrade their GameDay Theater from a 35mm film chain to high resolution video, we called on Digital Projection for the hardware," said Chuck Chiles, RBDG project manager. "The results: excellent reliability, great service and stunning images."
