Projection and immersive display technology

Axion Displays represents Digital Projection across key EMEA territories, providing access to a broad portfolio of professional laser projectors. The range includes E-Vision, M-Vision and TITAN systems, with options designed for demanding applications where brightness, image quality and installation flexibility are important.

For the attractions sector, these technologies can support projection mapping, immersive environments, interactive 3D experiences and museum installations. Digital Projection's Satellite Modular Laser System separates the light source from the projector head, helping designers overcome challenges around space, heat and noise in sensitive environments such as museums and heritage attractions.

The technology has been used across a wide variety of projects. Examples featured by Axion include projection mapping at the historic royal residence of Saint-Germain-en-Laye in France, an installation at Norway's Kilden Performing Arts Centre, and large-scale 3D projection mapping at Egypt's New Administrative Capital Stadium.

LED, media servers and content delivery

Axion's offering extends beyond projection. The company works with professional LED display solutions and represents Brainsalt media servers, providing technology for complex multimedia and immersive installations.

This combination allows Axion to support projects where multiple technologies need to work together, from large-format displays and projection mapping to interactive and location-based experiences.

Axion has also developed Pilot, its own cloud-based digital signage platform. Designed to simplify content management, Pilot enables users to create, schedule and update material across one or multiple screens from a central browser-based dashboard. It can work with a variety of connected devices without requiring proprietary playback hardware.

Technical expertise and project support

A key part of Axion's proposition is the technical expertise surrounding the products it represents. Its pre-sales services help partners assess requirements and develop appropriate technical solutions before installation, while after-sales and technical services provide ongoing troubleshooting, maintenance and hardware support.

This approach is particularly relevant for complex AV installations, where selecting a projector, display or media server is only one part of creating a reliable visitor experience. Axion combines product distribution with technical knowledge, regional sales coverage and support infrastructure to help partners take projects from initial specification through to operation.

Technology for visitor attractions

For museums, theme parks and other visitor attractions, Axion's portfolio offers tools for creating increasingly ambitious visual environments. Applications range from discreet projection within heritage spaces to large-scale mapping, immersive galleries, interactive 3D installations and spectacular event experiences.

With expertise spanning projection, LED, media servers and digital signage, Axion Displays provides a useful technology resource for attraction designers, AV integrators and operators looking to create high-impact visual experiences.

"Themed entertainment is unforgiving — a show has to look as good on night three thousand as it did on opening night. We build for that reality. Our team understands every layer of the system, from the calibration algorithms to the reality operators face, and that depth is what lets us say yes to ideas other providers have to walk away from."

Products

VYV's product suite includes PHOTON, XENON, TACHYON, ALBION, COPERNIC, and dedicated hardware solutions. These technologies support everything from single-projector environments to complex multi-projection environments, high-resolution LED wall systems, architectural mapping, uncompressed media playback, 3D tracking, show marking, and accurate pixel delivery for demanding productions.

• PHOTON – The all-in-one media server platform for large-scale immersive installations, live events and permanent attractions. PHOTON combines high-resolution video playback, a built-in node-based effects engine, auto-alignment projection mapping, real-time compositing and synchronized show control in a single system.
• XENON – A specialist projection mapping and uncompressed media playback solution built for architectural and object-based mapping projects, along with large-format LEDwall systems. XENON provides advanced automatic geometric correction, edge blending and precision alignment tools for transforming buildings, stages and physical environments into dynamic visual canvases.
• TACHYON – A compact, cost-effective and reliable media playback system designed for smaller installations and distributed media applications. TACHYON delivers high-qualityvideo playback with a streamlined workflow and easy deployment.
• ALBION – A professional 3D tracking system that enables operators and creative teams to accurately track moving scenery, performers, props and puppets in live performance, providing PSN tracking data to any show system.
• COPERNIC – A family of compact 3D-positioning optical markers designed to work withALBION and VYV's other tracking and calibration systems. These IR emitters track the position and movement of performers, screens, scenery and props almost invisibly, and integrate discreetly into most structural elements to provide real-time data for the automatic calibration of projectors and camera systems.

What sets VYV apart?

• Automatic projector calibration at scale. PHOTON automatically calibrates systems of more than 150 projectors and keeps them aligned through daily operation. For a permanent attraction, this means consistent image quality year after year without flying in specialists to re-align the system — a meaningful difference in long-term operating cost.
• Projection that follows the action. ALBION tracks performers, props and moving scenery in real time so projected content stays locked to its target. VYV has event-tracked deforming surfaces: for Cirque du Soleil's Drawn to Life, the system followed oversized animation sheets as they twisted and bent mid-performance, alongside 17tracked props and costumes.
• Custom engineering when the brief demands it. When a creative vision goes beyond what any off-the-shelf product can do, VYV's in-house R & D team develops the show-specific software and hardware features to deliver it — capabilities that frequently become part of the product line.-
• Built for handover. Automated backup programming protects show integrity in live operation, and project-specific documentation, training and international remote support mean an operator's own team can run the show with confidence.

BRINGING EMOTIONS INTO IMAGES

Drop The Spoon was founded in 2015 by Patrick Neys and Jean-Luc Gason. Both had spent over fifteen years on major live productions, working alongside Franco Dragone on shows like CélineDion's A New Day, Le Rêve, The House of Dancing Water, The Han Show, Paris Merveilles and La Perle. That experience taught them to treat video as a living part of the performance, not as scenery on a wall. They founded Drop The Spoon to take that idea further. Ten years later, the studio has built projects across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North America. From Bastogneto Bruno Mars, every show is another spoon dropped.

The ideas move fast

Drop The Spoon stays involved from creative concept through to final show, working alongside directors, lighting designers, choreographers and stage engineers. Content is built in relation to the space, the sound, the performers and the physical elements of the production, whether that means water, ice, architecture or a 360-degree stage. The studio's method comes straight from the theatre. Directors need to see propositions before they commit to an idea, so the team prototypes and fine-tunes on site, during rehearsals. Content evolves in real time until it fits. A mapping on a cathedral or a product launch on a custom stage,
