An Outdoor TV That Rises & Unfolds, Design by Porsche

  • PDF

C SEED 201 TV

In its world premiere, the C SEED 201 TV takes high-tech TV onto the outdoors with a 201-inch (5.11m) 16:9 LED screen. But this is more than just a big screen…

You can direct the performance by radio remote control. You press a button to raise up the screen to the desired height from its hidden shaft in the ground and then rotate it to a maximum of 270 degree angle for optimal viewing comfort.

The C SEED 201 column takes 15 seconds to achieve its full height of 4.65 m (15 ft). After the next 25 seconds, 7 massive LED panels soundlessly unfold. A TV tech sculpture now dominates the outdoor scene…

Designed by Porsche Design Studio, The C SEED 201 grew out of a passion to deliver the ultimate outdoor LED TV…

Instead of taking up space when not in use, the C SEED 201 folds up and retreats below ground, where it stays safe and dry in its water-resistant shaft. Only to rise again…and again…and again…

Buckaroo

And the winners are…it’s time again for the Buckaroo Awards, those annual InfoComm best-of-show awards from Pacific Media Associates. The Buckaroo award is named after the pioneering cowboys of the Great Basin country of the American West (parts of California, Nevada, Idaho, and Oregon).These cowboys were known for fancy gear that displayed lots of silver ornamentation, so the name is fits as recognition of products that produce the best-looking pictures. The Buckaroo Awards recognize those products in the front projector category that lead the herd by enabling projection of attractive images in a broad range of situations.

Says PMA: “Although data-capable front projectors using digital imager chip technology such as 3LCD, DLP, or LCOS date from 1994, the industry has made giant strides in technology, yielding giant improvements in brightness, resolution, color gamut, and a host of other features and performance measures.”

At the Berlin Wall Memorial, an extensive programme of readings, exhibitions and film screenings was part of the commemorative event.
