Originally, system integrator and content provider Giant Step proposed a leading brand’s media server to the Incheon International Airport Corporation (IIAC) to drive the Media Tower. That server ultimately had sync issues and was not up to the task.
Given the Media Tower’s massive pixel canvas, the LED processor needed 21 Full HD (FHD) outputs to cover the display. Analog Way’s Business Development Manager in Korea, Chris Choi, demonstrated how an Aquilon C coupled with six Analog Way DPH104 units could power the Media Tower without any synchronization issues – the only solution for a display of this size.
For the Media Tower, sources are input from the media server to Aquilon C then six DP104 units split the inputs into 21 FHD outputs. Those FHD signals are then sent to the LED panels by 21 LED controllers for a perfectly-synchronized display. Two extra DPH104 units are on hand as backup systems.
The Aquilon C and DPH104 install not only solved the Media Tower’s sync problem but given the newly optimized video processor environment, creatives can utilize a PIP function with smooth transitions in the future – a capability the tower did not have before.
