Vivitek DU9057 All-Weather Full Sealed Air Conditioner Enclosure Specialized for Water Screen 3D Projection Mapping

The Vivitek DU9057 is a specialized protective enclosure system designed to house and protect high-brightness projectors for demanding outdoor projection applications, particularly water screen 3D mapping. This solution transforms standard projectors into robust, all-weather devices capable of operating in environments where exposure to water, dust, and variable temperatures would normally be prohibitive.

Key Features & Specialization for Water Screen 3D Mapping

Full Environmental Sealing (IP65 Rated)
- Complete Protection: Provides an airtight and watertight seal against rain, splashing water, sea spray, humidity, dust, sand, and insects.
- Critical for Water Screens: Essential for installations near fountains, waterfalls, or marine environments where mist and water droplets are constantly present.
Integrated Climate Control System
- Built-in Air Conditioner & Heater: Maintains a stable internal temperature and humidity level regardless of external conditions.
- Prevents Condensation: Actively manages dew point to prevent lens fogging—a common and critical issue when projecting onto a water screen in cool or humid air.
- Optimal Operating Temperature: Ensures the projector runs within its specified thermal range, preventing overheating in summer and enabling startup in freezing winter conditions.
Optical Precision & Stability
- High-Quality Optical Glass Window: Minimizes image distortion and maintains color fidelity for the precise alignment required in 3D mapping.
- Vibration Dampening: Isolates the projector from external vibrations (e.g., from pumps, wind, or machinery), ensuring a rock-steady image essential for complex mapping onto moving water surfaces.
Durability & Construction
- Robust Casing: Typically constructed from powder-coated aluminum or stainless steel to resist corrosion, especially important in humid, saline, or chemically treated water environments.
- Security Features: Often includes lockable doors and tamper-proof fittings to secure valuable projection equipment.
Integration & Connectivity
- Pass-Through Ports: Sealed cable glands for power, control (HDMI, DVI, 3G-SDI, network), and other signals, allowing for clean, protected external connections.
- Remote Management Compatibility: Enables monitoring and control of both the projector and the enclosure’s climate system from a central location.

Why It’s Ideal for Water Screen 3D Mapping

Overcomes the Primary Challenge: Water screens generate immense ambient moisture. The DU9057’s sealed, climate-controlled environment is the only reliable way to protect sensitive projector electronics and optics in this setting.
Ensures Image Integrity: By preventing thermal shutdowns and lens condensation, it guarantees uninterrupted, bright, and sharp projections—vital for public shows and permanent installations.
Enables Permanent Installation: Eliminates the need for setup and teardown for each event, allowing for fixed, “always-ready” outdoor projection systems.
Extends Equipment Lifespan: Protects a significant investment in high-lumen laser or lamp-based projectors from accelerated corrosion and wear.

Typical Use Cases

Permanent Water Screen Shows: At theme parks, public plazas, waterfronts, and large fountain complexes.
Maritime & Cruise Ship Entertainment: For projections in poolsides or over ship wake water screens.
Touring Festivals & Events: Where reliable outdoor performance in any weather is non-negotiable.
Architectural Mapping on Wet Surfaces: Near waterfalls, building facades with water features, or in rain-prone climates.

Target Projector Compatibility

Designed to house Vivitek’s DU9057 (or similar high-brightness 3-chip DLP projectors ranging from 10,000 to 30,000+ lumens), which provide the necessary light output to penetrate water mist and create vivid images for daylight or night-time water screen spectacles.

In summary, the Vivitek All-Weather Enclosure is not just a box; it is a critical life-support system for professional projectors, enabling the stunning and technically challenging art of 3D water screen mapping to be performed reliably and repeatedly in the real world’s harshest conditions.
