A 300-seat giant dome cinema in the Netherlands has become the site of the first European installation of the ESX projection system from digital planetarium and full-dome theatre specialist Evans & Sutherland.
The system uses a blended array of five Christie D4K40 RGB laser projectors, plus E&S’s own auto-alignment and auto-blending technology, on the 23-metre diameter dome at the Omniversum cinema in The Hague.
Omniversum, which opened to the public in 1984, previously used a 15/70 film projector, complemented by a 36-speaker array for immersive audio.
