TARMLED 4x4 makes the world shine brighter
Following up on TARMLED 4x4's successfully employment at numerous productions this year, this time it was the highlight of an event staged by Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart. For the first time, the system was installed horizontally above the heads of the around 400 invited attendees and thus emulated an innovative LED‑ceiling of top artistic quality. At the finale of an approximately two-minute laser performance, the Mercedes star appeared in breathtaking brightness on the auditorium's "LED‑sky" and bathed its entire interior in a gleaming, unforgettable, closing vision.
Thanks to TARMLED 4x4's lightweight construction and daisy-chain cabling from module to module using just a single, combined, power and data line, the total weight of the approximately 50‑square-meter "CREATIVE LED-surface," including all power supplies and processors, could be reduced to around 600kg, which was an essential factor in arranging such a production, due to the limited load-bearing capacities of the existing suspension points. Data transmission from the control panel to the "LED‑sky" via a fiberoptic cable provided interference-free control over the entire system.
Another criterion for employment of TARMLED 4x4 was its 82% transparency, which allowed its installation beneath the auditorium's sprinkler system, without adversely affecting fire protection.
