Full Production illuminate the rainforest with ENTTEC pixel control

ENTTEC collaborated with Full Production to light up Treetop Adventure Golf at Birmingham's Bullring. The project used ENTTEC's pixel control technology, including LED Mapper software, S-Play, and OCTO pixel controllers to create an immersive rainforest experience.

Entertainment industry specialists Full Production Limited designed a smart lighting and gameplay system that really brings the two 18-hole courses to life.

The Treetop venue relies heavily on technology to create a fully immersive experience. A realistic soundscape is paired with multiple sensors built into each hole to trigger interactive lighting effects, videos, UV reveals, automation and sound. The decision tree architecture and array of available content per hole means that each player will trigger a different effect.

These sensors are great for analytics too! The gathering of data such as the progression rate of people moving around the course, or the most popular routes that balls get hit, allows the venue to get better insights and make modifications over time to ensure that people flow smoothly through the system and have the most varied and enjoyable experience possible.

This may be miniature golf but the technology employed at Treetop has made sure that it’s a big adventure for all visitors!

Full Production Limited relied on an ENTTEC 32-Universe S-PLAY show controller, OCTO pixel controllers and ENTTEC’S installation-grade LED pixel strip to bring all pixel tape elements of the project to life. Using the ENTTEC LED Mapper software (ELM), the team created effects that could be saved onto the S-Play and then played back once UDP triggers from the show control system were received.
