| The minimum active space required
is 10 meters by 7.5 meters by 3.5 meters high,
or 35 feet by 25 feet by 12 feet high. The major
consideration in terms of space is the total avoidance
of ambient light. The space should be painted
a non-reflective black and no light source should
exist, other than the one that emanates from monitors
themselves. Also include a low bench seating four
or five people. The entrance must be well insulated
from light and sound. Most ideal is a double trap
door with sound insulating material. (See entrance
diagrams.) |

| The Vasulkas can provide all the equipment listed below, or share resources with the exhibitor. This will be reflected in both shipping and equipment budgets. |

12 stackable
matching video monitors (could be as few as 4)
1 monitor support table (custom)
4 Pioneer Video Laser Disk Players, LD-V Series
4 program video laser disks, NTSC, color
1 four channel synchronizer
2 stereo audio amplifiers (4 audio channels)
4 speakers (internal speakers of superior quality
may be used)
4 speakers stands or wall mounts
10 video cables approx. 3 feet (1 meter) long
each
2 pairs of stereo cables
4 speaker cables
21 power outlets |
| NOTE: The laser disk
synchronizer used by the Vasulkas is custom built
and interfaces only with Pioneer Industrial Laser
Disk Players (2200 to 8000 Series). It is not
interchangeable with laser disk players from other
manufacturers, such as Sony and Phillips, which
require a commercially available synchronizing
device. |

| The 12 monitors must be matching in size
and manufacture. They should be stacked three by four
on a single low bench or square platform one foot (30
cm) high. The platform must be custom-made to the size
and shape of the monitors. The equipment except the
monitors and speakers could be located inside the platform
or in an adjacent tech area. |

| If the monitor speakers are of superior
quality, the audio can be chained the same way as the
video (4 discreet audio channels), the volume tuned
so the sound emanates from each monitor in equal intensity.
Alternate audio wiring: Connect the two stereo cables
from each player to the two amplifiers, and the four
speaker cables to the speakers. The speakers should
be hung on the walls at equal distances. |

| Treble should be normal and bass at maximum.
All 75 ohm terminators located on the back of the monitors
must be switched to open, except for the last monitor
on each chain. Contrast should be high and brightness
below middle. The basic rule here is to set up the proper
deep color black as a reference to the maximum contrast
and brightness. With that, the other components (hue,
color saturation) can be assigned. The persons installing
the environment must use their esthetic judgment as
to the proper monitor settings for maximum visual impact. |
