Norway-based p*ojectiondesign® has supplied core technology to Electrosonic for the new building of the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia, US.

Electrosonic was the main contractor involved with the installation of audiovisual equipment and systems throughout the building and tasked with delivering AV systems that met the needs of media consultancy RomeAntics and media designer and producer Local Projects. Depending on the throw distance, image brightness and resolution required at each location, Electrosonic selected p*ojectiondesign F12, F22, or F32 projectors.

The NMAJH is the only American museum dedicated solely to telling the story of Jews in the US, from their arrival more than 350 years ago to the present day. The museum's new building offers exhibits over four floors, with themes ranging from Dreams of Freedom to Moving to America, Establishing Communities, and It's Your Story.

A variety of AV techniques are used to bring these themes to life, including the edge-blending of multiple projected images, image-masking, and a mixture of flat and curved screens, as well as the integration of projection and LCD panel technologies.
