Autosymphonic, a German Spectacle, Uses coolux Pandoras Box

On the September 10, the city of Mannheim, Germany celebrated the 125th anniversary of the invention of the modern automobile by Carl Benz, with a spectacular multimedia show called Autosymphonic.

This epic concept combined different styles of live music, a full symphony orchestra, 80 cars being used as instruments on stage, water fountains, and architectural projections onto a local landmark --the Mannheim water tower. Seventeen thousand people attended.

coolux Pandoras Box products were used for the beamer and LED feeds in addition to being used for the architectural projection that made the Mannheim water tower come alive.

LOOP LIGHT employed four Pandoras Box PRO Server systems in conjunction with the coolux Widget Designer PRO software to create the projections.

Two Pandoras Box Managers were triggered via the Widget Designer to synch the running systems. One challenging aspect of this particular part of the autosymphonic project was the warping, that did not just use four Barco R22 projectors, but had to integrate four additional 10.000 ANSI Lumen projectors as a backup solution.
