omniSHAPES are revolutionary digital LED rear projection modules, installed by Creative Technology at the IAA 2011 on the Volkswagen stand for the first time and immediately available in the rental park of the international full service media technology supplier CT. The modular displays with flexible sizes and forms are adapted perfectly for the creative use at exhibitions, conferences, events, shows and on TV - worldwide.
The new small display cubes omniSHAPES represent a step forward in digital display evolution. For the first time it is possible to have not only rectangular displays, but also polygonal screens of almost any shape. The funnel shaped design of the housings further allows realizing curved screens in concave or convex configuration. There are virtually no more limits regarding video wall design or shape.
The omniSHAPES are based on a 1-Chip DLP® projection engine with LED technology, a strong frame unit with locking bolts for fixing with other units and one screen. The modular concept of omniSHAPES from the three main building blocks projection screen, base frame and projector provides great advantages, can be fitted out and supplied from a larger choice of base frames and projection screens in different shapes and offer automatic color and brightness adjustment. Each "shape" is equipped with an internal processing unit, with no longer need of external picture processing devices.
