A total of four D20WU-HS projec- tors have been deployed for the water screen projections. They are double-stacked and fitted in a water- proofed, air-conditioned control room built directly across the performance area. The Alta Media team’s primary challenge was to accurately calibrate the images on water screens that are located 200 meters away from the control room.

The Christie D20WU- HS, with an output of 20,600 lumens and Christie BoldColor Technology, that accurately reproduces colourful images without sacrificing brightness, ticks all the boxes and emerged as our preferred choice in terms of both qual- ity and budget,” Tu explained.
