Calling it, “a Swiss Army Knife of a digital billboard,” 3M GTG introduced a new generation of billboard, the MetaTwistTower at the MAC (Munich Airport Centre) Forum, a large outdoor multi-purpose event area, to mark the airport’s 20th anniversary.

After being commissioned to develop a digital display system under the roofed section of the MAC Forum, 3M GTG redefined the classic approach of a digital billboard with the concept of a media installation in keeping with the venue’s spatial arrangement, ambience and uniqueness. As a result, the MetaTwistTower was created – a spectacular 10.6 metres high triangular tower with a 41m² rotating and revolving LED surface.

The installation has three layers, each with three LED panels on precisely engineered rotation and folding mechanisms. These nine connected elements can be adapted in format and orientation (square, landscape or portrait), and unfold to give a powerful performance with never-before-seen dynamics. Switching between these formats, and the movement of the panels, is an integral part of the visual performance. When combined with synchronised content, the MetaTwistTower delivers a high impact advertising and media production tool for large-scale, public audience communcation.

Starting in September in Europe, Extron Electronics will hold the The Extron Workshop: Designing Digital Systems That Work, a one-day event for system designers and integrators that focuses on the practical aspects of designing digital AV systems.

Instructors from the Extron Institute program provide a full day of training and real world demos on how to solve common digital AV challenges by integrating a wide range of products such as cables and equalizers, extenders, signal processors, switchers, matrix switchers, and XTP Systems into system designs.

"The Workshop concentrates on the practicalities of system design and integration, sharing all the valuable lessons we've learned in the lab and in the field during our long history with digital technologies,” says Andrew Edwards, President of Extron. "As I promised, we're reaching out to you, our customers, with more places and ways to learn about Extron digital technologies and products to grow your business."
