Water Screen Systems
  
Water screens add a breathtaking element to any event.  This amazing projection medium creates a then film of water that is ideal for rear projection of video, lasers, gobos, and other lighting effects.  The images appear to float magically in front of the audience, enhanced by the surrealistic effect of genuine water flowing in front of them.
  

  

 

 

 

 

 The water falls cleanly and silently from an overhead  nozzle system and into a special recovery basin where it is re-circulated by a high pressure pump system.  The surrounding area is left dry, and performers or speakers on stage behind the system are unaffected by the curtain of water just inches away.

Our system is comprised of modular 4' sections which are combined to create flexible screen sizes.  Linear size is virtually unlimited, but typical screen sizes are 20-40 Feet in width.  Screen height is typically 15-20 feet, and would only be limited where excessive air current affects the flow of water.

 

 

Screens may be arranged in unique shapes, or even surround guests entirely.  A typical configuration is the placement of the screen 2-4' downstage from the stage edge.  A false front to the stage is created with drapery to completely conceal the effect.  Screens may also be placed mid-stage with a grate for water return.  Separate 4' nozzle sections may be controlled individually to allow the curtain to part, allow a speaker to walk through, and turn on again behind them.   There is room for great flexibility and creativity with our designs.

 

 

 

Our systems are operated by a standard DMX interface, allowing tight integration of the effect into show queues.  We typically provide a standalone console in events where the LD does not wish to burn the screen status into distinct looks, or where independent control is desired.

The most exciting shows are created with a combination of video and laser overlaid on our screens -- request a demo DVD from your salesperson for some great examples.   We synchronize laser and video content tightly with industry standard timecode.  Laser images, laser beams, video content, audio -- even pyrotechnic effects -- are all seamlessly integrated with frame accuracy.

 

The screen is activated on demand, allowing for a screen placement that is not possible with traditional screen surfaces.  Here is an example: a water screen show segment completes.  Screen content goes to black, the water screen is turned off, and stage lights are raised to reveal the keynote speaker in place at the podium -- where they were concealed and waiting.  The screen is effectively striked by lowering a DMX fader -- instantly.

 

 

 

Our bright DLP projectors insure bright, crisp, high contrast images are delivered to the audience.  We also offer the brightest and most image capable full colors laser available.  The results are breathtaking, and irreproducible by any other medium available.
