Case Study: Leo Baeck Institute brings the "Stolen Heart" exhibition to life with BrightSign 4K projection players

BrightSign-enabled 3D Projection Mapping Brings New Exhibition to Life at the Leo Baeck Institute in New York

The Leo Baeck Institute needed to bring its exhibition “Stolen Heart: The Theft of Jewish Property in Berlin’s Historic Center, 1933–1945” to life with a technically ambitious, interactive centerpiece: a 3D projection-mapped video table that tracks property expropriation through archival imagery and time-lapse maps. To meet demands for high-definition playback, precise synchronization, and reliable, low-maintenance operation, designer C&G Partners used BrightSign media players, specifically BrightSign 4K units including the BrightSign 4K1142.

BrightSign’s 4K players drove the projection-mapped relief map and other exhibit media, delivering crisp HD video, exact alignment, scheduling (“set-and-forget”) functions, and greater economy versus PC-based systems. The BrightSign-powered installation has been viewed thousands of times each week, attracted overflow crowds and major press coverage (The Wall Street Journal, The Forward), and—according to C&G Partners—has performed flawlessly since the exhibit’s 2016 opening.
