Erabi, a Spain-based AV integration firm, has completed a major fitout at the San Mamés Stadium Museum in Bilbao, Spain.

The museum, located in the basement of the stadium, tells the story of more than 120 years of football history and boasts a 500-piece strong memorabilia collection, and almost 600 videos detailling the history of one of Spain's most iconic clubs, Athletic Bilbao, also known as Athletic Club.

The musuem is divided into three sectors, differentiated by the team's colours - green, black and red - and features a number of AV display, including a visual projection, projected on to an eight x four metre metal wall, telling the story of Athletic Bilbao, its founding and the history of the Bilbao. The projection is powered by six Christie Captiva DHD410S laser projectors, with a total of 30 being installed throught the museum, and one of three Christie GS Series projectors.

Eneko Elorriaga, co-founder of Erabi, said of the Captiva projector: "The quality of the ultra-short throw lens is superb, especially for museum applications, becuase it gives you a much more dynamic experience and avoids shadows."

"Captiva guarantees faithful colour reproduction and excellent brightness. Another factor worth bearing in mind is that they can be controlled by platforms like AMX and Crestron," Elorriaga added.

Asier Arrate, director at the Museum, said: "Laser solutions give better benefits in terms of downtime and running costs."

"The projector can be mounted at a very short distance from the screen or wall, either vertically or horizontally, which means that the public can view content with the appearance of bothersome shadows that interrupt the image."
