ANAHEIM DUCKS ARENA GETS AN UPGRADE Stage Precision’s software is at the centre of a projection-mapping project between Quince Imaging and the Anaheim Ducks. The pro hockey team’s home arena, the Honda Center, is installing a permanent solution for engaging visuals during games and intermissions. Quince Imaging has combined Stage Precision’s SP software – which enables precise tracking, calibration and real-time data integration – with Christie projectors, Mystique’s Pro Venue Edition platform and an automated rigging system. The complete solution encourages fan engagement and an elevated visual experience; it also expands what the Honda Center can offer during the 2028 Olympic Games. “Stage Precision is our Swiss Army knife,” commented Eric Gazzillo, VP of innovation at Quince Imaging. “It’s faster, more intuitive and allows us to automate complex workflows. This is the system we’ve been waiting for and the tool that brings everything together.”

Zhiyin Flower Moon Night is an immersive nighttime show at Wuhan’s Huabohui Scenic Spot. Featuring the 12 flower goddesses, it makes use of 13 Christie 1DLP laser projectors to transform the flower-themed park into a fusion of natural beauty and technical performance. Spanning five venues, Zhiyin Flower Moon Night blends projection mapping with traditional animation to create a striking visual and cultural experience. Christie’s line-up includes the Inspire Series DWU760-iS and DWU960-iS, along with the high-brightness DWU23-HS. In Wuhan, the DWU23-HS lit up the Appointment of the Rose church façade, while the Inspire Series models powered visuals for the floating sphere and Bell Tower Fantasy. The Huabohui Scenic Spot has become a high-footfall area, attracting thousands of visitors who have praised its immersive experiences. CHRISTIE LIGHTS UP SHOW

The final result included a mixture of Martin Audio products and software, striking the right balance between speech intelligibility and reverb.

To mark the 200th anniversary of Tasmania’s St John’s Anglican Church, its committee commissioned a major upgrade to enhance speech clarity. Guz Box Design + Audio led the project, selecting Martin Audio’s O-Line modular micro-array system for the sanctuary, platform and presentation areas. “With its compact form, O-Line excels in houses of worship where speech intelligibility is the main function,” said
