Explore the full project story

The Brief

TOCA Social engaged Pro Technical to supply and install LED pixel installations for two distinct features at their Paris venue: a pedestrian tunnel feature and a front shop-window display. The project scope recorded by Pro Technical specifies 'LED Pixel installation tunnel and front shop window displays' with completion in March 2026. The delivery encompassed pixel LED tape and custom-built LED pixel strips together with the control hardware and media-server integration required to present coordinated graphics across both features.

The Challenge

The project required supplying multiple independently addressable pixel-based installations that would be controlled and synchronised from a central graphics workflow. Evidence supplied for this case study confirms the use of Madrix Nebula controllers, Resolume graphics control and custom-built pixel LED tape and strips. No verified counts, power budgets or structural constraints are available in the record; this case study limits its technical statements to the installed technologies and the documented project scope.

Design Decisions

Design choices for this installation were driven by the project brief and the specified components. Pro Technical specified and installed: Madrix Nebula controller hardware to manage LED pixel addressing and DMX/Art-Net outputs where required; Resolume software for real-time graphics playback and layer-based compositing; and custom-built LED pixel strips and pixel LED tape for the tunnel and window feature forms. Where a project uses Madrix and Resolume together, the typical functional split is that Madrix handles pixel mapping and pixel-level effects while Resolume provides timeline and layer control for visual content; this case record confirms both technologies were used on the project. Pro Technical’s design included custom fabrication of LED strips to match the architectural requirements of the tunnel and window display as documented in the project scope.

Equipment and System Architecture

The documented equipment list for the project includes: Madrix Nebula controllers, Resolume graphics control and custom LED pixel strips / pixel LED tape. The architecture installed by Pro Technical linked the pixel output hardware to the venue’s media server environment: Resolume provided the visual composition and playback engine; Madrix Nebula provided the pixel control, mapping and timing outputs to the custom strips and tape. Custom LED pixel strips and pixel tape provided the physical pixel density and form factor required for the tunnel and front-window installations. The project record does not include verified quantities, specific pixel pitch, cabling topologies, or amplifier and distribution amplifier details, therefore those elements are not asserted here.

Installation

Pro Technical installed the custom-built LED pixel strips and pixel tape in the tunnel and front shop-window locations specified by TOCA Social. The Madrix Nebula controllers were physically located and networked as required to address the deployed pixel channels. Resolume was integrated as the primary graphics playback platform and connected to the Madrix Nebula controllers and the venue network to deliver coordinated visuals. The project scope indicates both tunnel and window displays were included; the record does not provide installation durations, staffing or detailed on-site procedure notes, so this case study confines its installation description to the technologies deployed and their interconnection.

Commissioning

Commissioning activities documented for this project consist of configuring Madrix Nebula for pixel mapping to the custom strips and tape, establishing network and timing links between Resolume and the Nebula controllers, and verifying pixel addressing and playback across the installed runs. The case evidence confirms Pro Technical completed commissioning in line with project completion in March 2026. No further measured acoustic or photometric commissioning data was provided in the project record.

The Result

The project record verifies the LED Pixel installation for the tunnel and front shop-window displays at TOCA Social Paris was completed in March 2026. Installed technologies documented by Pro Technical are: custom-built LED pixel strips, pixel LED tape, Madrix Nebula controller(s) and Resolume graphics control. The described delivery established an integrated pixel rendering chain from media-server/graphics software (Resolume) to pixel control hardware (Madrix Nebula) and onward to the custom pixel fittings installed in-venue. The project record does not list verified audience metrics, operational outcomes or client quotations, so no performance claims are made beyond the completed installation and commissioning.
