| The Angry Birds 4D theatre at Thorpe Park / Simworx |
 |
Thorpe Park’s Angry Birds 4D effects theatre is using 7thSense Design’s ‘Delta’ media server with passive stereo 3D output to power its projection system.
The UK-based uncompressed media serving and display specialist also supplied an audio server with 8-channel output to support a fully immersive and integrated experience.
The 326-seat theatre was developed and supplied by Simworx and opened to the public this summer as part of a new Angry Birds Land at the theme park.
Terry Monkton, managing director at Simworx, said 7thSense’s scalable hardware platform had “really removed the technological barriers that existed just a couple of years ago, allowing us to create incredibly high resolution canvasses to play with in our new system designs”.
“This, coupled with the ability to serve fully uncompressed TGA sequenced movies at high frame rates, means no loss of image quality and no file conversion requirement either, making the entire workflow simple for the creative team,” he explained.
