“The end user requested bright and colorful projections on various surfaces during the light show, including the iconic 18-meter-high mobile steel sculpture, which is rarely executed in China,” said Tony Chen, general manager, Wincomn Technology.

WUXI, China (PRWEB)
September 30, 2020

Christie® 3DLP®laser projectors are lighting up the picturesque Smile Square at Nianhua Bay with spectacular projections on various structures and surfaces, delighting visitors and raising its profile as an attractive tourist destination.

Located in Wuxi, a major city in Jiangsu province, Nianhua Bay has gained popularity as a modern Buddhist resort known for its tranquil monastic lifestyle. Most of the buildings in the vicinity are built in styles prevalent during the Tang and Song dynasties (618-907 AD). Among the key attractions is Smile Square – an open space designated for nighttime performances featuring an 18-meter-high moveable steel sculpture designed by renowned Georgian sculptor Tamara Kvesitadze.

This is the first large-scale dynamic sculpture by Kvesitadze to be showcased in China, and it serves as the centerpiece of a mesmerizing light show with stage design accomplished by the lighting design team behind the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games’ opening and closing ceremonies. The show itself is an enormous endeavor that combines various elements such as projection technology, artistic lighting, water effects and live performances. In particular, the digital projections are delivered by Christie’s longstanding Chinese partner, Wincomn Technology, using 16 Christie Crimson Series 3DLP laser projectors.

“The end user requested bright and colorful projections on various surfaces during the light show, including the iconic 18-meter-high mobile steel sculpture, which is rarely executed in China,” said Tony Chen, general manager, Wincomn Technology. “After a detailed site survey and evaluation, we’re of the view that the Crimson Series projectors, which are built tough and feature an IP5X-sealed, solid-state laser light source capable of providing reliable and virtually maintenance-free operation, are best suited for this extensive outdoor light show.”

Wincomn’s engineers took into consideration various factors during the installation process, such as the visual quality from visitors’ perspective, coordination of projected visuals with live performers, as well as the impact of environmental effects such as water and mist on the projected content. Besides projecting on the surface of Kvesitadze’s giant sculpture, the Crimson Series projectors are used to display lifelike images on 10 gauze screens and an underwater platform.

“We adopted a non-obtrusive technique of installing the projectors to display images on these special screens, so as to ensure the perfect presentation of the projections, whilst delivering optimal visuals to visitors,” Chen added.

Supported by a fleet of 300 “dancing” drones that soared above Smile Square, the majestic extravaganza beautifully integrated lush landscapes with live stage performances, state-of-the-art projections, artistic lighting, holographic images, fireworks and environmental effects, culminating in an unprecedented and spellbinding 360° visual feast that has earned Nianhua Bay the status of “an unmissable night tourism venue in Wuxi”.

April Qin, director of sales, Enterprise, Christie China, commented, “We are delighted that Wincomn has deployed our Crimson Series laser projectors for this extraordinary light show at Nianhua Bay. With its long-lasting laser illumination, high-performance, color accuracy and reliability, the Crimson Series has become the trusted choice of cultural and night tourism venues across China that delights audiences with fascinating visuals.”

Featuring proprietary Christie BoldColor​ Technology, the Christie Crimson Series high-brightness laser ​projectors produce big, bright and intensely colorful images. As well, with the ultra-fast processing of Christie TruLife™ electronics, as well as built-in warp and blend capabilities of Christie Twist™, these rugged and dependable projectors offer installation flexibility and amazing visual experiences.

LCR-Reader-MPA All-in-One Digital Multimeter with Bluetooth Data Acquisition Tool

Siborg’s fall sale pricing for all models of Digital Multimeters begins October 1st and includes the newest LCR-Reader-MPA Bluetooth model as well as other LCR-Reader and Smart Tweezers devices.

WATERLOO, Ontario (PRWEB)
September 29, 2020

Fall is coming and to celebrate Siborg Systems Inc. is offering up to 30% on their SMT testing tools in the LCR-Reader Store and on Amazon sales channels in North America and Europe. The sale will include their LCR-Reader and Smart Tweezers multimeter devices, including the new Bluetooth enabled LCR-Reader-MPA model. The sale will begin October 1st, 2020 and will end October 31st at 11:59 EST.

Siborg has been offering test equipment for Surface Mount Technology since the early 2000’s when they imitated Smart Tweezers multimeter project. Since then, Siborg has created a new line of tweezer-based multimeters, including the LCR-Reader line of budget-friendly devices. The LCR-Reader followed the tried-and-true design of a powerful multimeter combined with a set of sharp gold-plated tweezers as probes. The devices are able to determine the type of component when it is in contact with the probes; the multimeter will also determine the best test parameters to use in order to test with best possible accuracy.

Budget-friendly LCR-Reader lacks some features; the device is able to test with a 0.5% basic accuracy, but only allows users to change to measure LCR and ESR.

Over the last few years new models in the LCR-Reader family have been developed such as the LCR-Reader-MPA and LCR-Reader-MP devices. These devices offer a wide range of features and the highest available accuracy, outperforming Smart Tweezers, with 0.1% basic accuracy. Features include a 100 kHz test signal frequency, oscilloscope mode, super cap testing, easy short/open calibration, AC/DC voltage/current measurements, signal generator mode, frequency meter and more.

Recently, Siborg has introduced the LCR-Reader-MPA BT, a Bluetooth enabled model with the ability to quickly test components using a preset test conditions. The device comes with a Bluetooth dongle and LCR-MPA-BT Logger software for Windows and Android. The main feature of the software is the custom component test profiles and automatic pass/fail granting. Users are able to set specifications that a component must meet when the component is tested, the program will determine if the component meets the criteria and grants a pass or fail status. The program will indicate the status by the display color and the pass/fail status is marked in the recorded test results. The ability to remotely record values, and quickly see if they meet specifications is essential for incoming testing on a production line.

Users can set 2 kinds of custom test profiles: Single Component Test and Multiple Component Test. Single Component Test is best for tasks where the same component type is tested over and over again. Users can set their desired values and test conditions; and record test results into a new row by pressing the space bar. Multiple Component Test is best when there are a variety of components that need testing for a complete project. Users set a list of desired values as well as test conditions for each component; and each test result is written into the tested component line the test table. Test results can be exported into an Excel file for later analysis.

Other devices that Siborg offers that are on sale include:

• Smart Tweezers ST5S and ST5S-BT devices; with 0.2% basic accuracy, automatic and manual LCR/ESR measurements, Diode/Continuity tests, variable test signals, parasitic offset removal, etc.
• LCR-Reader Kelvin Probe Connector; shielded two-wire connection set that can turn LCR-Reader and Smart Tweezers devices into a probe station allowing to measure components larger than the tweezers’ spread.
• LCR-Reader, MPA and Smart Tweezers task kits; a pre-bundled kit of device and various accessories.
• LCR-Reader-CT, recently released Ring Coil Tester

The LCR-Reader Online Store offers a variety of other basic test equipment, accessories and spare parts. Siborg’s sale begins on October 1st, 2020 and goes until October 31st at 11:59 EST in their online store and Amazon sales channels in USA, Canada and Europe.
