2022 TAIT Yearbook

Outernet London The Now Building

Part of London’s Outernet concept— an immersive entertainment complex located above Tottenham Court Road Crossrail—The Now Building is home to the largest video display in the world, with over 2000m 2 of 26K and 360° floor-to-ceiling screens. Outside, the giant street-facing video walls, installed during the COVID pandemic, can vanish at the press of a button. Developed at our Production Park facility and the result of collaboration between our Wakefield, Neasden, and Lititz teams, these hulking video screens can deploy and retract into storage and maintenance areas behind the remaining static walls to effectively disappear from view. The TAIT Navigator™ Automation Platform was deployed to provide pinpoint motion control and ensure that the AOTO LED screens—split into 42, 9.6m high, self-propelled columns— accurately align with pixel-perfect precision. Outernet has big plans for this remarkable entertainment space’s future, and with TAIT Navigator at its heart, Outernet can handle complex show control alongside cutting-edge screen automation.
