Atrait Consulting designed the installation for a live event space built in cooperation between Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) in Morocco and Office Chérifien des Phosphates (OCP). A subsidiary of the construction group VINCI, Cegelec Maroc, was the AV integrator.
The AV system can fill the 8,611-square-foot (800-square-meter) round auditorium and domed ceiling with images, color, sound, and light. To create an immersive environment, content from 66 sources, ranging from media servers and players to PTZ cameras and a live-production switcher, are available for display on a captivating curved 313-degree videowall surround and video projections onto the ceiling. The Direct View LED videowall resolution is 35,139x1080 and the projected ceiling resolution is 23,625x3914. Since the AV cables would run next to high-voltage line, a multimode fiber optic cable infrastructure and an Extron XTP system and Quantum Ultra videowall processor were the ideal design solution.
