Two of Rennes’ most prestigious cultural and conference venues have recently been upgraded with projection from Digital Projection.
Spearheaded by Lille-based system integrator Manganelli, the twin installations – at the Couvent des Jacobins and Les Champs Libres – reinforce the Breton capital’s reputation as a leading destination for events, conventions and multimedia exhibitions.
Located at the heart of Rennes’ cultural and artistic landscape, Les Champs Libres (above) is a multidisciplinary venue housing a library, museum and science centre alongside its conference facilities. To support its diverse range of events, Manganelli integrated a Digital Projection’s Titan Satellite Modular Laser System (MLS) offering 20,000 lumens and 4K resolution.
Situated a stone’s throw away from Les Champs Libres, the Couvent des Jacobins (top image) is a landmark of Rennes’ architectural heritage. It was converted into a congress centre in 2018 after undergoing extensive modernisation while retaining its historic charm.
Within its 1,000-seat auditorium, Manganelli installed a Digital Projection Titan 33000 4K-UHD projector to provide mage clarity, brightness, and colour accuracy for conferences, performances and presentations. The original plan was to use the Titan in La Nef, a smaller 400 seats auditorium in the congress centre, but after being impressed by the performances of the projector, the end user decided to use it for the main auditorium, demoting the existing projector to the smaller venue.
