Date of Completion

Scope of Work
Audio/visual, show control of lighting, design, fabrication of four (4) complete turn key interactive kiosks along with documentation and installation.

Challenges/Solutions
The Universal Studios Kiosk is a video playback system that allows the guest to view one of the six (6) informational video presentations of classic Universal movies. One of the challenges that ETI encountered was how to archival media formatted in the 4:3 aspect ratio to be displayed correctly onto today's widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio monitors.

During testing of media ETI determined the configurations necessary to accomplish this. Once the parameters for the media were established, these were conveyed to the client so that their media designers could deliver the optimum playback format.
