Welcome to the movebox Shop

The special exhibition "Insect mortality, everything will be fine" at the NMBE (Natural History Museum Bern) impresses not only with its topic and scientifically correct, yet entertaining content, but also with its audiovisual presentation: a wide range of knowledge is conveyed in sound and vision at sixty independent media stations. The overall insectoid atmosphere is created by a large projection with huge insect images, which dominates the exhibition space with a width of 23.6 metres and a height of 6 metres. At the end of the exhibition there is also an audiovisual rear projection with the artist Franz Hohler. Exhibition organiser Peter Auchli was responsible for the media concept and planning. He attached great importance to the overall audiovisual experience and well thought-out media control. In the exhibition space, obstacles such as ventilation ducts and support columns pose a challenge for the desired seamless large-scale projection. The Natural History Museum wanted a concept in line with the budget, with high-quality technology designed for continuous operation for an audience keen to experiment. The client chose Crystal Display Electronics as its supplier and AV partner, a company that counts a large number of museums among its customers and is known as a specialist for sophisticated AV installations.

For the large-scale projection, we used three Epson EB-PU2213B projectors with a brightness of 13,000 lumens, each equipped with an ELPLU04 short-throw lens. The three laser projectors were aligned and mounted one metre from the ceiling horizontally to the projection surface. The video and audio content is transmitted to the projectors and loudspeakers by Movebox UHD 1000 media players, which were co-developed in Switzerland and work with frame accuracy and continuously synchronise themselves according to the master-slave principle, so that a uniform overall image is always created across the three projectors. All twenty or so media players and the projectors are integrated into a network for the exhibition. Crystal Display Electronics was responsible for the supply and manufacture of all the AV technology and for programming the media control system. The Movebox UHD 1000 media player, like the Epson projectors, has proven itself with its multiple control options and is continuously being developed further.

Our company will be closed during the summer vacations from 12 August to 30 August 2024.
