    Barco displays for Dubai mall

    LED display manufacturer Barco has signed its largest-ever contract for a fully integrated system of LED screens, to be installed in the world's largest shopping mall in Dubai. The contract with developer Emaar is worth over Euro 24 million euro and includes a total of 571 square meters of LED displays

    The LED displays will be used both to inform and entertain visitors to the Dubai Mall, which will open in September 2007. Deliveries for the installation will take place in 2007.

    Visitors entering the Mall will first see ten digital banners along the Grand Drive, made up of Barco’s OLITE 612 LED tiles and measuring 10 meters square each.

    The Fashion Catwalk will be the setting for the most prestigious and creative LED construction. A total of five separate rings of OLITE 510 LED displays will embrace a central structure. The mechanically powered rings will be able to move independently of each other to form eye-catching, unusual configurations. In addition to the rings, eight separate curved columns of ILITE 6XP tiles, each measuring 2 square meter, will enhance the focus and entertainment value of the area.

    Also the indoor skating rink will be an attraction in its own right, with an LED display totaling 200 square meters. This giant display will feature Barco’s ILITE 12 LED tiles and will project latest news and information, as well as advertisements from the Mall.

    To commemorate the occasion, the network created a spectacular studio set, located at the Rod Laver Arena in the heart of Melbourne’s city centre, entertained a sell-out audience of 15,000 football fans.

    As part of the set design, over 130 Lighthouse LED video panels were strategically deployed around the stage to create a number of R4, R10 and R16i/o high-definition video displays which were used to project vibrant images of the event. This included the showcasing of football highlights, live interviews and special performances by some of Australia’s top music acts.
