Ras Laffan Gas Refinery Inauguration
WRG Creative commissioned CT Dubai to provide video
projection with Dataton Watchout, LED screens and camera
systems on their recent event for Qatargas, the Inauguration of
the Ras Laffan Gas Refinery.
WRG designed and had the main screen constructed that would
part in the middle during the main reveal. Each section was just
over 10m wide and had a pair of Barco HD18 projectors utilising
a total of four pairs of HD18 for each state; open and closed.
Hanging under each screen was a 10mx2m strip of G-LEC 30
that was used for creative and visual effects.
The main screen opened to reveal a 20m

Lighthouse R7 LED
screen clad with a facia exposing a circle. Feeding the G-LEC
and Barco projectors, was a 12 channel racked Watchout
system that included full backup. The Watchout channels were fitted with HD/SDI capture cards to enable picture in picture both
from the cameras and various presentations. Fibre was used to distribute the Dataton Watchout signal to all the display
systems, thus avoiding any loss in signal integrity.
CT Dubai also provided their Kahuna 2ME system, a high end HD vision switcher used for the multiple inputs / outputs required
to cope with this type of event. To complement the Kahuna, three Thomson LDK6000 HD cameras were used to cover and
record the event, one of which was fitted with a long lens, and recording was on to three Sony HDW2000 Recorders. In
addition, a fourth RF Camera was positioned on the roof to cover the VIPs and guests making their way from the main building
to the Dome structure that housed the event.
