CLIENT BACKGROUND

Jasmin Vardimon Company is dedicated to the choreography of Artistic Director, Jasmin Vardimon MBE. The Israel-born UK-based choreoghaper and dancer has been a leading force in Brisih dance theatre for twenty years and in 2022 received an MBE for her services to dance.

Founded in 1998, it has rapidy rose to become a significant element within the British dance theatre scene. They tour nationally and internationally performing at high profile theatres throught the UK, across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the USA.

NEW HOME

In Spring 2022, the company moved into its new creative home in Ashford, Kent. A culture centre dedicated to the company’s creative research and future productions. The creative home aims the growth of cultural legacy by increasing its capacity to import. and export high quality performers of a world class calibre. In late 2021, Eclipse were asked to quote for the design, bracketry and installation of an outdoor screen mounted to the side of the JVC building. Working alongside Eco Electrical, a 2x4m LED screen was finalised in time for the grand opening.

“The digital sign truly brings our establishment to life during performances.

It is a delightful way to showcase our work and it adds an enchanting touch. tothe building.”

Amy Bevan, Administrator, Jasmin Vardimon Company.

Installation

The installation process took only a matter of days, however these had to be staggered to work alongside multiple contractors from groundworkers to electricians. We worked alongside Carm Precision, to design, manufacture and install bespoke fixings and bracketry. The first step was to fix around the steel box section of the building, meaning this had to be done prior to the cladding. Once this step was completed we had to wait for the panelling to be finished and then we could continue. Next was the framework, which again was designed and manufactured by Carm Precision. It then took three engineers two days to complete the installation of the brackets, panels and modules. The power was passed through the building and into a comms cabinet located inside. The cabinet holds an LED controller, media player and multi function box. The multi function box is connected to a light sensor, located on the side of the screen, to adjust the brightness depending on the ambient lighting.



Engineers

A combination of four engineers carried out the entire project, from the initial site visit and structural conversations to the on-site installation and screen configuration. All of our engineers are IPAF certified, permitting them to control the powered access equipment, such as scissor lifts and cherry pickers, required for the installation. Due to this being a building site for the majority of our tenure, our CSCS certifications were also requested.



Software

embed signage was selected to deliver the content to the LED display. Running on a Windows media player, the custom resolution of the LED display can be set optimising the content. Using the WYSIWYG layout builder, multi-zoned, multi-media layouts can be designed easily. Advanced scheduling capabilities allow rules to be set, allowing different content to be shown depending on conditions such as date, time, weather conditions and temperature, amongst others.

“The digital sign serves to display Jasmins’ work, as well as any upcoming performances or events. It ultimately showcases dance trailers, posters and the company logo, making the building easily recognisable for people to locate us.

The content is uploaded upon the request of Jasmin or member of the production team and after a few trials & errors, we have found the system quite easy and clear.

Eclipse have been exceptionally responsive whenever we have encounted issues or uncertainty. They promptly assist us and have been instrumental is helping us address any needs that occur.”

CLIENT BACKGROUND

Wembley Park is undergoing a major transformation and fast becoming North-west London’s go-to visitor destination and digital signage is playing a key role in the transformation. The Wembley Park redevelopment is being completed by property development and investment company, Quintain. The project has seen £2bn investment to date and once complete will boast 8.8 million sq ft of mixed-use development, 8,400 new homes and a 7 acre park.

About Quintain
Established in 1992, Quintain brings property and places to life through investment and development. Our most famous project is Wembley Park, covering approximately 85 acres of land around the UK’s largest National Stadium in North West London. To date Quintain have completed more than 3,000 homes and mixed use development at Wembley Park, including London’s first outlet centre which now attracts 7 million visitors a year. This year Quintain will have 3,000 homes under construction on this site, with outline consent in place for the delivery of a further 3,000. Previously, Quintain were instrumental in the conception of Greenwich Peninsula, a 15,000-home development around The O2 in South East London that is now controlled by Knight Dragon.

About Wembley Park
Wembley Park is a dynamic new cultural neighbourhood being created in North West London. Building on the international reputation for music and sporting events for which the area is known, Wembley Park is fast becoming a landmark destination with culture, entertainment and a community at its heart.

BOBBY MOORE BRIDGE



Overview

The Bobby Moore Bridge underpass is the pedestrian route into Wembley Park from Wembley Park Underground Station where visitors walk along Olympic Way to venues and visitor attractions such as the iconic Wembley Stadium, The SSE Arena Wembley, London Designer Outlet and Troubadour Theatre. Named after the legendary England player, it was dedicated in 1993 following his death. This space was identified as a vital / flagship area to improve throughout the redevelopment of Wembley Park.

One of the key benefits and main objectives of the upgrade is to allow cohesive day-to-day experiences along with temporary commissions from designers and artists both internationally and from the local community.



Technology

This bridge has been digitally enhanced with LED screens and lighting system all connected to offer a fully integrated digital walkway to and from Wembley Park. The system includes over 100m2 Absen XD6 LED panels in two high-resolution outdoor LED configurations, fitted to the northern and southern parapets of the bridge. Under the bridge, there are a series of LED lights behind diffuse glass panels to create a ‘dot’ effect, in keeping with the original tile artwork at the site, and finally, low resolution LED strips have been spread out across the ceiling in linear rows.

Technology used on Bobby Moore Bridge includes:

Stadium Side LED

45m2 Absen XD6 LED

Novastar LED controllers

iBASE Digital signage players

embed signage software

Station Side LED

65m2 Absen XD6 LED

Novastar LED controllers

Datapath FX4



Implementation

The project commissioned by Quintain at Wembley Park was designed by architects Dixon Jones and managed by The Light Lab. Lighting design company Speirs & Major provided the design architecture for the pedestrian underpass and Eclipse Digital Media provided the LED Digital Signage design, software and installation for the sides of the bridge.

Eclipse Digital worked with Quintain, Dixon Jones and The Light Lab to deliver the digital signage expertise required to successfully achieve the Bobby Moore Bridge upgrade. Being involved in the early phases on development and planning meant Eclipse Digital were able to complete the Absen LED installation within two weeks of starting works on site.



Software

embed signage is the digital signage software that brings the entire digital experience together on the Bobby Moore Bridge. embed signage is used to run the primary content on both Absen LED walls while also providing TCP commands to control the brightness levels of the panels based on an Astronomical clock, keeping in line with the site wide digital brightness policy. embed signage can also be used to run content underneath the bridge on the lighting technology, providing an option for Wembley Park to run content both on and under the bridge in a truly immersive digital experience.

“The solution provided by Eclipse Digital has dramatically improved the aesthetics of the main arrival point to the estate. It presents us with a range of new opportunities and gives all our partners enhanced coverage on the estate. One of the really impressive opportunities presented with the solution, is the ability to offer full digital takeovers for the bridge – that includes content on the large LEDs as well as the walls and ceiling of the underpass.”
Matt Simkin, Commercial Manager, Wembley Park

Benefits

One of the key benefits and main objectives of the upgrade is to allow cohesive day-to-day experiences along with temporary commissions from designers and artists. To launch the Bobby Moore Bridge digital transformation, architectural design collective miramandtom were commissioned to carry out a bespoke artistic installation. Their work, entitled Crossover, reflects the complex makeup of the community that live and pass through Wembley Park everyday.

WHITE HORSE SQUARE & OLYMPIC WAY



Overview

Considered the main public entrance to Wembley Park, Olympic Way runs from Wembley Park underground station to Wembley Stadium. Here, the first full wrap LED totem has been installed.

On a primary entrance route to Wembley Stadium, White Horse Square provides the pathway for visitors from Wembley Stadium train station to Wembley Park and the Stadium.

To give directional information and key messaging several outdoor full wrap LED totems have been erected standing 9m and 5m tall.

The totem structures were designed, built and installed by Astley Signs including the concrete plinths and wayfinding glass. Working together with Astley Signs, we were able to collaboratively ensure the entire structure was purposefully built for installing the LED and all necessary components.



Technology

The totem structures measure a grand 44m2 and 28m2 with Absen LED covering all four sides of the structure. These full wrap portrait orientated LED totems have significant presence and comprise of:

Absen XD6 LED

Novastar LED controllers

iBASE Digital signage players

embed signage software



Software

embed signage is used to run the primary content on all LED totems while also providing TCP commands to control the brightness levels of the panels based on an Astronomical clock, keeping in line with the site wide digital brightness policy. Content between the totems can be sync’d using software features within embed signage, giving Wembley Park an option to create experiences combining all totems.

PINK COACH & CAR PARK



Overview

The Pink Coach and Car Park at Wembley Park is Europe’s first multi-storey coach and car park developed by Quintain and Huber Car Park Systems. It’s a multi-award winner and features two parking levels for coaches, as well as a five-storey car park. The suspended deck also allows for the positioning of broadcasting vehicles for Wembley Stadium.

Digital signage was required to provide ever changing, event specific information including directional information, promotions and parking details. A mix of signage was required to meet the project requirements.

https://youtu.be/YmF8MN23rYk



Technology

This site uses digital signage in a variety of places. Upon the main vehicle entrance there is an IP65 rated high bright outdoor display and bespoke manufactured totem enclosure. At various locations around the parking areas there are 55″ high bright, IP65 rated displays in both portrait and landscape orientations. Inside the lower level staircase there is a 10m2 Absen LED display providing unmissable messaging for crowd management and directional messages for event days as well as advertising opportunities.

Technology used throughout the Pink Coach and Car Park includes:

10m2 Absen XD6 LED

Novastar LED controllers

All See Outdoor IP65 55″ High Bright Displays

iBASE Digital signage players

embed signage software



Custom Totem

As part of the project, an entrance signage display was required to display parking tariff and driver guidance to visitors. This information would change regularly and due to the placement and parking location identification required, a custom built totem was needed.

Working with our engineering partners, we were able to design and build a custom white portrait totem with pink ‘P’ identification symbol embedded. This totem houses an IP65 high bright display running embed signage software allowing Wembley Park the ability to update the content exactly as required.

RESULTS

“The solution provided by Eclipse Digital has dramatically improved the aesthetics of the main arrival point to the estate. It presents us with a range of new opportunities and gives all our partners enhanced coverage on the estate. One of the really impressive opportunities presented with the solution, is the ability to offer full digital takeovers for the bridge – that includes content on the large LEDs as well as the walls and ceiling of the underpass.

We’ve been blown away by the services and support provided by Eclipse Digital – they are a huge help. They have been truly excellent in terms of sharing their technical expertise, software training, troubleshooting and the team are on call at all times to ensure the solution is properly maintained.

The software (embed signage) we use to control the content is superb. It gives us the ability to add rules to our campaigns for when they should play as well as scheduling different layouts for specific event days. Not only is it great for content management, the software allows us to control the LED brightness through adhoc or scheduled commands. We are also able to sync brightness control to an Astronomical clock, aligning with our site wide policy to ensure night time residential amenity is appropriately protected.

We recommend Eclipse Digital without hesitation”

CLIENT BACKGROUND

Kings Place is an independently-funded arts and conference venue in the heart of Kings Cross. Their programme is as diverse, engaging and innovative as the city it’s based in. Kings Place provide a diverse offering of music, spoken word, festivals, comedy and visual art.

UNDERSTANDING THEIR NEEDS

Eclipse Digital Media began working with Kings Place in 2014, where the initial requirement was to migrate from an existing digital signage platform to a new, technically strong and feature rich platform. Over a period of ongoing consultation consisting of various on site meetings, product demonstrations and phone calls, Kings Place were able to identify their digital signage requirements clearly and outline exactly what was most important to them in terms of the new system and display solutions.

Kings Place required an on-premise signage solution with the ability to support live network broadcast streams from events. They also wanted a ‘big impact’ signage solution for their reception space to replace the manual wooden boards.

“Eclipse Digital presented expert knowledge with the ONELAN solution and understood our requirements and objectives perfectly”

Chris Phillips, ICT Director, Kings Place

INSTALL



Digital Signage System

After a consultation period and various product demonstrations and evaluations, Eclipse Digital Media helped Kings Place to settle on using a ONELAN digital signage system.

This system includes an on-premise Content Management Server (CMS) along with a number of Subscriber NTBs some of which include stream-in licenses to decode and display UDP streams broadcast on the Kings Place network.

The subscribers are connected to various displays around the building utilising the existing screen hardware available.



Reception LED Wall

Initially Kings Place specified a video wall requirement for the Reception area to deliver their ‘big impact’. With the dimensions available and desire for making a maximum impact to visitors, Eclipse Digital spent time proposing a variety of video wall solutions along side an LED Narrow Pixel Pitch Video Wall.

To help convince Kings Place LED was the right product for them, Eclipse Digital worked with PSCo to arrange an on site demonstration day where a 3.2mm and 2.4mm pixel pitch Absen LED panels were set up and Kings Place staff were invited to view and examine in detail. After this demo day, Kings Place agreed LED was exactly the right product and opted for the 2.4mm pixel pitch LED panels.

The solution installed was 30 Absen N2 panels covering 2.8m x 1.73m and offering a resolution of 1200 x720. This was installed with a bespoke mount and side framework, along with a light sensor to automatically modulate the brightness of the LED.

Eclipse Digital Media installed all the controllers, remote management computer, digital signage player and light sensor kit within a wall mounted data cabinet in an alcove area behind reception. Eclipse Digital Media also manufactured and installed the alcove door system with integrated light sensor.

RESULTS

“When we opened doors in 2008, the original design team had implemented a digital signage platform already. Although at the time, this system proved to be okay, technology in this area of the market was growing rapidly and it became obvious that the Windows based system was soon becoming outdated and unable to support modern video codec standards. As part of our review into potential replacement platforms, we spend time at conferences such as ISE in Amsterdam to compare the market in which more modern Linux based systems were becoming more common.

We first met Eclipse Digital Media when one of our companies, Green and Fortune were looking for a retail screen for their new events space for their new head office within the venue. Through our experience working with Eclipse, along with our growing relationship with Chris Wood at ONELAN, we opened discussions about the possibility to migrate our signage system to ONELAN in phases. Eclipse Digital presented expert knowledge with the ONELAN solution and understood our requirements and objectives perfectly, as such we soon progressed with a partial introduction as a proof of concept. This proved very quickly to be the right solution and we decided to replace the whole of C-Nario with ONELAN and never looked back.

In the middle of 2017, the Executive Chair of Kings Place Music Foundation, Managing Director and I discussed options to digitise the area behind the welcome desk as part of a venue wide digital upgrade. We outlined our ambitions with Eclipse Digital (as well as some other AV companies) and they came forward with a number of very well considered ideas, including the possibility of building a dedicated LED wall. Because there were uncertainties of this technology, Eclipse Digital arranged with their distributor to bring in two different versions of the Absen LED panels, one with a better pixel pitch, so that we could test the technology against our own content whilst pointing venue lighting on them to test against ambient lighting. This proved to absolutely be the right solution for us and everyone involved bought into the solution. Once this decision was made, Eclipse Digital were fantastic at their delivery and the system has proven to be robust and exactly what we wanted. We’d recommend their services to anyone!”
