1 Windmill Lane

Built on the site of the iconic Windmill Lane recording studios where U2 recorded most of their material.

Our brief was to deliver a cost effective 4K cinema experience in the open area of the 1WML building. Our engineering team delivered a 30,000 lumen 4K cinema experience on a fraction of the cost of a commercial cinema. To achieve this we used multiple lower cost projectors and stacked them to provide an image overlap. This tripled the brightness of the system and delivered a 4K 30,000 lumen solution for less than 20% of the cost of a single unit. An automatic camera calibration system was utilised to quickly overlap the images to the exact pixel and the system features a 5.2 surround system 11,000 watt sound system.

As the venue is normally a corporate space the new system was integrated into the existing Crestron control system to provide flexibility between corporate presentations and use as an event space.
