Ind - Field Test VI - Symmetry
[Text available only in English] Symmetry comes from a Greek word meaning 'to measure together' and is widely used in the study of geometry. Mathematically, symmetry means that one shape becomes exactly like another when you move it in some way: turn, flip or slide.

Concept, direction, design: Giuseppe Guariniello

What is needed

VIDEO
The video portion of Ind - I need darkness consists of a projection on three screens, the recommended minimum size of the projection surface is 6 linear meters.

Necessary equipment:
Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital (or Matrox TripleHead2Go DP Edition) (http://www.matrox.com/graphics/it/products/gxm/th2go/digital/)
or
Videomixer that allows you to split the video signal output from the computer on three screens as the Roland V-800HD (http://www.roland.com/products/en/V-800HD/)

Projectors
The Matrox TripleHead or Videomixer must be connected to three projectors with minimum resolution 640x480, 1024x768 preferable, to form a single surface of projection that goes from a minimum of 1980x480 to a maximum of 3072x768 pixels.
The brightness and the type of projectors depends on the space where the performance will be done.
If you do not have the multi-projection, you can use a single projector that has a very large projection surface, thus allowing to use only the central strip of a 16:9 projection also getting a balanced result.

Connections
DL-DVI or VGA video

Preview
If the console is behind the screen would be appreciated prewiev of an lcd/plasma screen, the preview with TripleHead can be obtained with the use of a Matrox MXO2 (http://www.matrox.com/graphics/it/products/gxm/ th2go/mxo2 / #), and if you use a Videomixer the preview should be available directly from Videomixer. The preview screen can be a lcd / plasma minimum size of 19 ".

Console dimensions
200cm wide / / 100cm deep / / 120cm high


AUDIO
4-channel mixer jack / RCA dual out, one for system and another jack or RCA with separate volume to enter the computer that runs the video.
The audio works on very low frequencies, it would be appropriate to consider the presence of one or more independent subwoofer.
