One of the great Catalan cava wineries, Agustí Torelló Mata , has installed the Christie Pandoras Box show control solution to manage an impressive curved screen of more than 30 meters that delights visitors.

Agustí Torelló Mata is one of the great names in the production of sparkling wines in Europe. Installed in the heart of Penedés (Catalonia, Spain), capital of cava, he forged his personal work, consolidating himself as one of the best winemakers in the country. In 1978 he produced his masterpiece, Kripta , recognized as one of the world's great sparkling wines.

Currently his two children Alex and Gemma are in charge of the family winery with an annual production of 500,000 bottles of cava and 120,000 of wine, which are exported to more than 30 countries. The cellars are located in the municipality of Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, in a bucolic combination of Mediterranean forests and vineyards. There, guided tours are offered that go through the vinification cellar and the underground cellars to learn about the characteristics of the Penedés and the peculiarities of the production and aging process.

One of the highlights of this visit is in the tunnel that connects the underground cellars. A curved screen more than 30 meters long is the background of the audiovisual show about the process of making cava and the native varieties used for it. A tour of music, images and sensations through the seasonal cycle of this sparkling wine, in what constitutes an unprecedented audiovisual installation in a winery.

To carry out this experience, four 6,000-lumen projectors have been used, equipped with wide-angle optics that offer a total screen resolution of 4,096×768 pixels. It is an audiovisual installation carried out entirely by the Kodec company, in which Charmex has been the supplier of the audiovisual equipment.

The surprise that this 10-minute audiovisual show generates in visitors is spectacular, since both the screen, which is camouflaged with the tunnel itself, as well as the audio and lighting are activated automatically when the public approaches the space.

This is achieved thanks to a motion sensor that is synchronized with a Crestron CP3 control system, which in turn integrates with Christie Pandoras Box video processing and show control solutions. Specifically, a Pandoras Box Compact Player is used, with four HDMI outputs, and a Pandoras Box Manager , to manage projection warping and blending.

Pandoras Box Widget Designer has also been incorporated, a software tool to create custom show control applications, which in this experience is used to program the projection automation.
