SIGNAL HILL, Calif., Oct. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As a part of a newly redesigned seal exhibit at Discovery Bay, in the Minnesota Zoo, a large video wall has been added, giving the public a close up view of these rare mammals.

Adaptive designed the 1600 lb. modular video wall that allows contractors like Tierney to safely install large multi LCD video displays and added motorized hoists allowing Zoo staff and technicians to raise and lower the entire video wall assembly at the touch of a button
Tom Tautges, Sales Engineer for Tierney Brothers, Inc. proposed replacing the old projection system with high definition video wall consisting of 16 NEC LCD flat panel displays providing a much brighter, clearer and more lifelike picture. "The old projection screen was suspended over a large salt water pool, so replacing it with a 1,600 pound video wall structure presented a challenge," he said. "After consulting with NEC, we confirmed that Adaptive Technologies' Flyable Video Wall Frame was needed. The final product is a beautiful 13'5" wide by 7'6" crystal clear high definition video wall that we are proud of. The folks at Adaptive provided engineering assistance and product expertise throughout the process."
According to Jessica Madole, Interpretive Program Developer at the Minnesota Zoo, "The video wall is used during the live monk seal training demonstrations where guests can now see clearly without special cameras. It has definitely enhanced the Discovery exhibit," she says.
