Datapath Drives Meditation Centre Visual Experience In India
Datapath used its 40+ years of video processing expertise to provide stunning visuals to one of the
biggest meditation centres in the India subcontinent
Pixelart Colours used a combination of 15 Epson projectors and various active LED displays to
deliver the content
As the world headquarters for the Heartfulness Institute, the Kanha Shanti Vanam, located on
the
outskirts of Hyderabad, Telangana, is an ecological paradise, a place for spiritual retreat, where
attendees can experience simple living in-tune with inner and outer nature.
Visitors can benefit from meditation areas, spiritual connection, and therapeutic healing
facilities. Adding to the atmosphere of peace and serenity at the centre, the interior is enhanced
by huge visual displays covering the Vanam's large walls and interior spaces. With such large areas
to cover, the imagery would need to blend from one source into another, providing seamless,
jaw-dropping displays of harmony in pixel-perfect 4K resolution.
Integrator for the project - Pixelart Colours - used a combination of 15 Epson projectors,
plus
various active LED displays to deliver the content. Providing the edge blending and seamless visual
experience, Pixelart chose Datapath's tried and trusted Fx4-SDI processors to manage the
content.
"Datapath Fx4-SDI is one of those unique products available which gives the flexibility to control
the resolution with the frame rate", explained Moses Madhi, MD at Pixelart Colours.
Four FX4-SDI were installed across the Centre, capturing 4K sources and converting each source them
to 1080p@30Hz before being blended into one large image and/or separate moving content.
The result is something which is a feast for the senses as the slow, calming imagery adds an
additional air of natural calm. "Datapath's Fx4-SDI and Epson's Projection mapping are the perfect
blend to achieve the required solution and visual treat to the Vanam's audience," added Moses.
Andy Lee, Senior International Sales Manager for Datapath spoke of the impression that the
project
has left on him, "During my years at Datapath, I have been involved in countless projects and have
witnessed some stunning projects across the world. But I had not seen just how powerful video can be
in an environment such as the Kanha Shanti Vanam. Moses and the Pixelart team have done a simply
stunning job in amplifying an atmosphere with video content and the end result is something that
Pixelart Colours, Epson, and Datapath can all be immensely proud of."
