The Palacio de Congresos de Valencia has undergone a major AV upgrade featuring Digital Projection’s TITAN Laser 33000 4K-UHD laser projectors.
The Valencia Conference Centre has undergone a major AV upgrade as part of a far-reaching digital modernisation project funded by the European Union’s NextGenerationEU programme. At the centre of the transformation is a powerful new projection system featuring Digital Projection’s TITAN Laser 33000 4K-UHD laser projectors, specified and supplied by Estalella Audiovisual and integrated by Telefónica Tech.
At the heart of the installation, two TITAN 33000 projectors perform a seamless edge blend across a 15-metre screen in the main auditorium of the Norman Foster-designed venue. A third TITAN 33000 is used in single projection mode in one of the convention centre’s main congress rooms, with the super bright, ultra-high-definition performance offered by the three TITAN projectors representing a significant upgrade on the older projectors they replaced.
“From the outset, the client asked us to deliver a high-quality, perfectly blended solution in the auditorium,” comments Carlos Bonet, business development and marketing manager at Estalella Audiovisual. “The TITANs were a clear choice, not only for their performance but also for their ability to deliver precision control without the need for external tools.”
To ensure consistency across the edge-blended image, Estalella carried out colour matching using a Qalif spectrometer, as well as brightness matching between the units. All warping and blending was carried out using Digital Projection’s Projector Controller II software, powered by its next-generation Nexus technology, which also allowed for efficient commissioning and fine-tuning of the system. As part of the handover, the local technical team received dedicated training from Digital Projection to operate and maintain the system with full confidence.
Delivering up to 31,000 lumens of brightness at 4K-UHD resolution and a contrast ratio of 18,000:1, the 3-chip TITAN Laser 33000 is the ideal projector for even the most demanding large-venue applications. In addition to featuring in-chassis warp, edge blending and geometry correction, the TITAN 33000’s advanced electronics also offer on-board HDR processing and Constant Brightness Control for uncompromisingly bright, vivid visuals.
The new projection infrastructure plays a key role in the centre’s wider AV ecosystem upgrade, which also includes new camera and production systems and a building-wide NDI-over-IP network.
“Technology is not just a means – it’s a tool for transforming the way people experience a space,” says Juan Agustí Pedro-Viejo, sales consultant, digital spaces, for Telefónica Tech, commenting on the installation. “At the Palacio de Congresos de Valencia, we have installed systems – most impactfully the large-format screen, which represents the cutting edge of projection and video technology – that guarantee the highest quality in audio-visual technology.”
Digital Projection provided on-site support during commissioning, working with Estalella Audiovisual and Telefónica Tech to ensure the project was delivered smoothly and to specification. The final result has been warmly received by the venue’s operators and visitors alike, says Bonet, who adds that the success of the project has opened to the door to future collaborative opportunities between Estalella and Telefónica Tech.
“This installation has significantly raised the bar in terms of brightness, clarity and definition,” he concludes.
