Follow on Google News | Taiwan travels to edge of Universe with Exteme Black Digital StargazingThe planetarium at the Taipei Astronomical Museum has upgraded to Global Immersion’s Fidelity Black™ digital theater system for audiences to experience realistic, high resolution and high contrast immersion under the digital night sky.
By: Global Immersion Evolution: From Observatory to Planetarium The history of TAM dates to 1938 when the facility stood as an observatory in the center of Taipei. After relocating outside of the capital city to the Yuanshan Scenic Area, renovations were finally completed in 1997 including the centerpiece dome theater featuring IMAX® and optical star projectors which remain in place today. High Contrast Theater Offers True Flexibility & Performance Global Immersion collaborated with their Taiwanese audio-visual integration partner, Dacoms Technology Co. Ltd, during the initial stages of the project. Maintaining the two existing display systems, the theater’s new digital fulldome solution increases the flexibility of the theater as a multi-purpose venue and now permits three separate media programs to immerse and engage audiences. Inside the planetarium, the 30-degree tilted dome sits above 304 seats and is filled with a 4K resolution display powered by twelve Zorro® 2015HC projectors from Rockwell Collins. This display technology is a core feature of Global Immersion’s Fidelity Black™ digital theater solution which also includes a high performance Media Server cluster. Senior Project Manager at Global Immersion leading the project, Tony Scott, spoke about the new planetarium; The Zorro® 2015HC projector offers superior contrast, resolution and black levels and was originally developed for military simulation applications. The Zorro® 2015HC is exclusively available from Global Immersion in digital planetarium and immersive theater markets. The new TAM planetarium show program features two fulldome productions from Clark Planetarium, which feature in the schedule alongside continuing OMNIMAX® movies and live astronomy presentations.
