AV 01732 759725 29 magazine Titanic Belfast, one of the most visited tourist destinations in Northern Ireland, has used Panasonic projectors to convey the emotional impact of the Titanic story, through the creation of an absorbing immersive space that places visitors at the heart of the liner’s ill-fated maiden voyage. More than 12 years on from the opening of the iconic building, the attraction has refreshed the Titanic Experience for returning visitors from around the world. Re-envisioning the human experience Working with integrator DJ Willrich Ltd, Titanic Belfast uses more than 30 Panasonic PT-MZ16K, PT-MZ780 and PT-VMZ71 LCD projectors to deliver the Titanic Experience, a stimulating re-creation of what it might have been like to be a passenger travelling on the liner. The self-guided tour is the most authentic way to discover the sights, sounds, and stories of the ship and learn about the people and city that made RMS Titanic. “Unfortunately, we can’t change Immersive sights and sounds the tragic ending of the Titanic story, but we wanted it to be even more impactful for our guests,” explained Judith Owens MBE, CEO of Titanic Belfast. “We felt that the best way to do that was through immersive technology.” Reliable and vivid colour reproduction The Panasonic projectors, equipped with Ultra Short Throw (UST) and Short Throw lenses, provide the optimal balance of high brightness and vivid colour picture quality for the Titanic Experience, alongside marketleading reliability, with up to 20,000 hours of maintenance-free operation. Critical to the success of the experience is the discreet, unobtrusive functionality of Panasonic’s LCD projectors, including quiet operation and UST lenses that enable the projectors to be positioned in any space, even close to walls, for the projection of stunning visuals without fear of visitors casting shadows. Judith Owens MBE added: “We have built a steel staircase in this incredible new gallery, The Ship of Dreams, where guests can follow the journey whilst being completely immersed in original images. The key to the success of the installation is that the guests never see the technology. They just feel that they are part of the story and that’s incredibly important for us.” Panasonic projectors set the standard in helping museums and attractions bring history to life in a variety of venues worldwide. Their use in the Titanic Experience has already helped Titanic Belfast to win the Outstanding Achievement – Visitor Experience Re-envisioned: Limited Budget Award at the 2023 Themed Entertainment Association Awards. https://eu.connect.panasonic. com/gb/en/case-studies/titanicbelfast Panasonic projectors help bring the Titanic tragedy to life for new and returning visitors Commerce Business Systems (CBS) is celebrating after being voted IT Supplier of the Year at the recent Yorkshire Prestige Awards 2023-4.
