7thSense drives projection to 'Daily Planet' 
Demonstrating its ability to customize its Delta media-server product to match the image-manipulation of show-control needs of demanding environments, 7thSense has supplied core technology to the Daily Planet - an immersive dome experience opened this week by the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, NC.
The centrepiece of the NRC is the SECU Daily Planet. At regular intervals during the day, scientists will use the 40ft high, high-definition curved screen of the dome to present their latest research and its impact on current issues.
Ian Macpherson, Director, 7thSense said, “The system design is unique. We supplied a single Delta server to drive all six of the Christie projectors for the main display wall, with 2K x 2K uncompressed media resolution and real-time warp-and-blend to make a single, continuous canvas. A second Delta server then feeds another timeline into the live inputs of the first one. This allows the show-control system to drop media in real time onto this server as Timeline B, while Timeline A is playing the primary Delta. In effect, this means that both Delta servers can be re-programmed on the fly while the audience is watching the show, depending on the needs of the NRC and without any of the operators requiring any show-programming expertise.”
Gary Barnes Project Manager, Electrosonic said, “The show programming was accomplished by 7thSense and Smart Monkeys over four weeks of intense on-site activity. In total the Delta servers are providing six channels of HD video and 16 channels of audio, together with time-accurate commands to trigger lighting and the selection of the next show.”
