on june 8th the brand new comcast center opened in philadelphia and immediately became the tallest building in the city. now, whilst the building itself is a beauty, the thing that made me dribble slightly and the thing that no-one seems to have picked up on yet is the phenomenal video wall in the skyscraper’s lobby, built by barco. first of all take a look at the pictures, watch the videos, wipe your mouth and then prepare for some facts.
now for some clips…
here’s another video. skip to about 1:30 for some dancing action.
i’m told that to see it in action, in person, is breathtaking. i’m also told that the screen cost a whopping $22million to design, construct and install.
for that money, you get the following…
1. the largest four-millimeter LED screen in the world, measuring 83.3ft x 25.4ft
2. 10 million pixels mounted in a seamless flat array - that’s 5 times the resolution of high-definition tv
3. an automated control room, home to 27′000 gigabytes of information, six dx-700 led digitizers, seven encore video processors and three matrixpro routers
wow.
at least we now know where some of the bandwidth charges are gonna go.
