Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania wanted to enhance their popular horticultural displays by incorporating complex multimedia elements like fountains, fireworks, flame-jets, lights, and music. The challenge was to integrate these diverse systems while ensuring safety and operational efficiency.
TAIT provided a state-of-the-art TAIT Show Control™ System powered by TAIT Navigator. This system formed the backbone of the multimedia displays, allowing the synchronization of lighting, audio, and non-traditional entertainment technology like pumps and water treatment systems. With TAIT Navigator, the fountains were choreographed as if they were moving lights, integrating them smoothly into the overall show.
The TAIT Show Control™ System enabled efficient show programming. When the attraction is open it facilitates the automatic scheduling of fountain shows throughout the day. It also ensures robust safety, interfacing with fire alarms and propane-detector systems to prevent danger and to inform operators through custom GUI panels. The system's two-way communication allows for real-time monitoring and adjustments, ensuring safe and spectacular performances.
This innovative approach transformed Longwood Gardens' displays into a mesmerizing blend of nature and technology, regularly drawing sell-out crowds. The integration of multimedia elements enhanced the visitor experience, making the gardens a must-visit destination for both horticulture enthusiasts and fans of spectacular son-et-lumiere.
