Video
The Voxel's video infrastructure is focused on our 8-projector stage floor surface, in total 40,000 lumens. Any device that can output to a NDI display can work with our mapped floor.
Four additional portable projectors are available, as well as a freestanding screen for simple presentations.

Stage floor projection system
Our 8 projector stage floor system powered by a dedicated Mac Studio M1 Max machine is permanently installed on a special vibration-isolating mount above our standard grid. (The Mac Studio M1 Max computer running this system is separate from the Mac Studio available for your use.) Stage lights hung from the regular grid do not block the projectors. The projectors may not be repurposed or moved.
The full resolution of the stage floor video input is 2365 x 3013 at 60fps. A "direct" 3840 x 4800 60fps NDI input to the 8 projectors with no mapping applied is also available.
Capabilities include:
- NDI Input for custom video design using tools like QLab 5 and MadMapper.
- Virtual Groundplans to see the scenic design laid out full scale on the floor.
- Seating arrangements demonstrate accessible ways to lay out the room.
- Rigging guide to see the centerline, rigging grid, and roof steel translated to the floor.
Networked Video Devices
The Voxel's production network is primarily handled by a Netgear ProSafe M4300-52G-PoE+ switch. The switch is designed to handle NDI, Dante, Art-Net, and other IP-based control technologies.
