Will The Sphere revolutionize the concept of entertainment?
The Sphere, that is its name for a new futuristic building that is very different from what we are used to. The arena can hold 18600 seats for a total of 20000 people and opens in Las Vegas, USA in September 2023, but let's start from the beginning.
The project was initially a partnership between the Madison Square Garden Company (MSG) and the Las Vegas Sands announced in February 2018. The Sphere is located off the Las Vegas Strip and is located east of The Venetian. The latter contributed to the project by providing the 7.3 acres of land needed for construction. The Sphere, which includes the world's largest LED screen inside, was designed by Populous, an architectural firm specializing in the design of convention centers and sports facilities.
There are rumors that the building will probably be replicated in London, but who knows?
Technical characteristics of The Sphere
The 18,600-seat auditorium is being marketed for its immersive video and audio capabilities, which include an internal semi-spherical LED screen with 16K resolution, speakers with beamforming and sound field synthesis technologies, and 4D physical effects .The exterior of the arena also features 54000 m² of curved LED displays. The Sphere measures 112 meters in height and is 157 meters wide. Both the indoor and outdoor screens were manufactured by SACO Technologies, a company specializing in video displays and LED lighting.
The application of experience gained in the analysis of interior and exterior features has represented a significant advance in the scenic design of future buildings from an emotional point of view, which we believe will give rise to a significant technological advance. In the context of today's technology, more and more space is being made for augmented reality, and this technological progression will certainly have a revolutionary impact on the special effects used in theaters, arenas, arenas, and concerts in the coming years.
Amlux's role in technological progression
AMLUX is keeping up with the times and brings you LED displays with a pixel pitch of only 2.97mm as The VS2. A high resolution video panel with a configuration of a 3-in-1 SMD2121 RGB LED, a brightness of 1000 NITS and 4 LED modules per panel this allows for easy maintenance. Connections of the VS2 include powercon in/out and RJ45 in/out connector for signal. Each panel is equipped with the integrated Novastar A5s receiver card.
The Smart PXL 60 module is a lighting fixture composed of strands of LED knots that can be folded and adjusted according to the needs of your project. Featuring high-resolution, high-flux RGB/RGBW direct-view pixels that can be individually addressed (available at 24 V or 48 V for extended cable lengths) allows you to create crisp lighting effects by adding a sleek design element to your indoor or outdoor venue or pixel installations. Designed and manufactured to withstand the harshest environments, SMART PXL 60 spots are available with a range of lens options and a maximum light output of up to 65 lumens RGB or 110.4 lumens RGBW.
All managed by the NOVASTAR MCTRL 4K, an extremely large capacity LED display controller developed by NovaStar. A single unit presents a load capacity of up to 4096×2160@60Hz 4K resolution. Supports any custom resolution with maximum width or height up to 7680 pixels, meeting the on-site configuration requirements of ultra-long or ultra-wide LED displays. Supports HDR function in both HDR10 and HLG standards, which can greatly improve the image quality of the display, presenting clearer and more vivid images. Possible individual gamma adjustment for RGB when the bit depth of input source is 10 bits or 12 bits, which effectively controls image non-uniformity under low grayscale conditions and white balance offset to improve image quality. MCTRL4K is stable, reliable and powerful, dedicated to providing the best visual experience. It can be mainly used for fixed and rental applications, such as concerts, live events, security monitoring, Olympic Games and various sports centers.
