Digitally-Animated Christmas Tree in Times Square

Four signs high atop One Times Square joined together to create a digitally-animated, multi-colored Christmas Tree. Representatives from Toshiba Corporation and TDK U.S.A. Corporation joined in a special “5, 4, 3, 2, 1” countdown to light the digital tree which appeared on the Toshiba Vision, TDK, and for the first time, Dunkin’ Donuts screens underneath the world famous New Year’s Eve ball, on Thursday, December 18.
The digitally-animated Christmas tree, measuring 204-feet, was lit on the Toshiba, TDK and, for the first time, the Dunkin' Donuts screens on One Times Square. Encompassing four digital signs, and rising 400 feet above street level, the 204-foot digital tree utilizes state of the art graphic designs, designed for maximum visual exposure in Times Square. As it debuted, first seen in silhouette, a gradual pulsating glow behind the tree began, letting viewers know something special was in the offing. The tree began to sparkle, while another Times Square tradition, a special countdown, slowly appeared. As the countdown got to “1,” thousands of white lights shimmered, with the new rotating tree getting brighter and brighter in sparkling lights as a sash with “Season’s Greetings” enveloped it.
“There is no place like Times Square to kick-off the beloved holiday season,” says Eddie Temistokle, Sr. Manager Corp. Communication & CSR Toshiba America Inc. “We are excited to have the Dunkin’ Donuts’ screen join as part of this year’s display, creating the world’s tallest digital Christmas Tree!”
“We are delighted to be part of this holiday tradition, joining Toshiba and TDK to create the world’s tallest digital Christmas Tree,” said John Costello, President, Global Marketing and Innovation, Dunkin’ Brands. “Times Square is the perfect place to celebrate the holiday season in such a powerful and visual way.”
“TDK is always thrilled to be a part of this holiday tradition in Times Square, the magnificent digital Christmas Tree, which gives holiday cheer to all passing through the crossroads of the world,” says Frank Sweeney, President and CEO, TDK U.S.A. Corporation.
The tree will decorate the winter sky and set the mood for the holiday season in Times Square from December 18, 2014 to January 13, 2015, appearing on the screens every 5 minutes, 24 hours a day.

Volcano.
Here is a 6 minutes mapping projection. For the anniversary of the geography faculty of Geneva, Switzerland, we proposed a huge volcanic scenography. We took care of everything, from conception to realization, construction and installation of the structure which was mapped. We worked in 3K resolution, and with 2 VP of 20’000 lumens. This involved, as you can imagine, long and hard work to create, but the result seemed to work on the public.

Projection on Ice.
It’s
that time of year where our minds turn to other things: like ice hockey. You
might not give a puck but millions cherish the winter sport.
And if you are in pro AV, you’ll cherish the opportunities that come with ice hockey stadiums.
For an example, we’ve chosen the New Jersey Devils because Lord knows they are not playing well and they need the help.
Their Prudential Center arena unveiled a newly-installed 3D projection imaging system. Devils management says their NHL team is the first in the U.S. to permanently install the technology. And it cost them more than $1 million….
“Watching this for the first time is really hard to explain…you have to think of the first time you saw an IMAX movie, or went to Disney, or saw one of the 360-degree screens,” says Hugh Weber, the team’s President of Business Operations.
We could tell you more about the show, but it’s easier for you to watch the video (link below).
Devils management worked with Quince Imaging to install twelve 26,000-lumen projectors in the Prudential Center during the off-season.
NHL fans may have seen Quince’s work before. The company has done one-time special event displays at other sports arenas, including a pre-game show at a Montreal Canadiens Stanley Cup playoff game (see the link below).
Devils management says it's hoping the technology at every home game will draw people to their Newark, NJ arena. The technology will eventually be used during period breaks and for special events, but the focus right now is on pre-game entertainment.
That sums up a crystal-clear sports philosophy for New Jersey: If you can’t beat ’em, best entertain them.
