Adrian Goh,
managing director, Hexogon Solution, commented, “This is the first time that we
are presenting a projection mapping performance of this scale for this
eagerly-anticipated sports event, using the floor of the new National Stadium
as the canvas. This is by far the biggest deployment of Christie projectors
that we have undertaken for a single event. The entire installation process has
taken us a month to complete, but we are very encouraged by the end results and
are absolutely delighted that the time and efforts that we have put in has set
a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title.”

Hang-mounted
on specially-built towers above the highest seating area in the stadium, the entire
fleet of projectors was carefully set up by the experienced team of engineers
and technicians from Hexogon Solution. They spent long hours blending and
calibrating the projected images that displayed in stunning 4K resolution. Two
dedicated control rooms were set up above the seating area – one on each side
of the stadium – to house the Pandoras Box Media Servers and other equipment
that supplied the contents to all projectors.
