Tempest, world leader in projector enclosure technology, will showcase its Oasis family of IP66 outdoor enclosure at ISE 2023, stand 5A650. Oasis is cooled using the latest in inverter heat pump technology, enabling projectors to operate in ambient temperatures from -15 to 50°C (5-122°F). Oasis cools and maintains a constant temperature where it’s needed — at the projector air inlet. ISE 2023 audiences will be the first to see the latest in enclosure technology on show, which is especially well suited to RGB laser projectors.

Tempest will showcase BreezePU – new projector enclosures designed specifically to the Epson EB-PU 1000 and EB-PU 2200 series projectors – at ISE 2023, stand 5A650. The new models, which are customised versions of Tempest’s Breeze enclosures, are intended as an economical solution for outdoor applications in temperate climates. The enclosures have been designed to bring outdoor projector operation within the budget of more projects, while maintaining a high standard of build quality.

Tempest has helped to enable an eye-catching projection mapping installation at Kumamoto Station in Japan. At ‘Aso Caldera Hike’ near the busy station, visitors were able to walk through the representation of a circular caldera – a large volcanic crater – and experience a spectacular show of light and imagery in a unique relaxation spot in the city. A custom Tempest Cyclone outdoor projector enclosure installed high up on a nearby building balcony protects a Barco UDX-4K32 projector with a Dynamic Projection Institute Mirror Head, enabling mapping coverage of the entire caldera. The project was carried out S.C.ALLIANCE, with technical direction from BASSDRUM.

Tempest Typhoon enclosures have been used to enable a string of outdoor projection mapping exhibits at the Royal Festival Hall, in London’s prestigious Southbank Centre. A total of three Tempest Typhoon outdoor projector enclosures – supplied by KSO AV – have been used to protect Panasonic PT-RZ31K projectors, which have projected a host of exhibits onto the building façade. The projection has been accompanied by a host of other creative uses of illumination to bring an uplifting experience to the surroundings for visitors to enjoy throughout the past year.
