FEATURES: INSTALLATION LDQTP5 touchpanels have been installed as wall-mounted user interfaces, described by the project team as Android-based tablets suited to fixed installation control points. In this deployment they were used to control Xilica processors via the XTouch application, providing a touchscreen route into the DSP environment for day-today operation across zones. Within the broader ecosystem, Xilica DSP and Powersoft amplification form part of the audio backbone, supporting routing, processing and power delivery across the installation. Roxtone cabling also featured heavily as part of the infrastructure build. Show playback and synchronisation have been addressed with Merging Technologies Ovation servers, which the project team positions as both a content source and a control component. In practical terms, Ovation handles audio playback across all zones, maintaining synchronisation between tracks while supporting a range of audio formats and channel counts as required. The same server platform is also used to trigger projection playback, linking audio events and visual playback into a coordinated timeline. Lighting, by contrast, was kept deliberately minimal and architectural, with the exterior of the dome illuminated using

Elsewhere, the venue incorporates Vision LED RGBW strip lighting around the site. Control for the lighting system is handled via a ChamSys MagicQ Rack console. From a delivery perspective, the installation was technically demanding with schedule pressures and first-time deployment challenges within the project scope. “The Public Security project by Tahakom represented a significant challenge for our team, both in delivering it within the required timeframe and in implementing advanced, innovative technologies for the first time within this scope,” explains Eng Mazen Ahmed, project technology manager at MOBC, adding that the project’s success was enabled by close collaboration with PRO LAB. “The supplier’s technical expertise and support was a primary factor in overcoming those challenges.” TMCA Group’s Tony Germanos also emphasised performance and reliability through the delivery cycle, crediting the brands selected by PRO LAB with contributing to a “flawless outcome” from planning through installation and final tuning. Germanos noted that client feedback has been extremely positive, positioning the project as a benchmark example of TMCA’s delivery capability when paired with a supplier providing an aligned technology ecosystem. For the Dubai-based distributor, the Tahakkum Dome is presented as a demonstration of how a consolidated portfolio
can support immersive builds that span projection, audio, lighting and control. PRO LAB’s head of sales for KSA, Akram Abdelbaki, also cites the project as evidence of the company’s momentum in Saudi Arabia, arguing that the collaboration has reinforced its presence in a rapidly growing market and underlined the compatibility between the supplier’s brand portfolio and TMCA’s engineering approach. “The Tahakkum Dome project exemplifies the impact of bringing together bold vision, technical expertise and industry-leading technology,” says PRO LAB CEO Rami Haber. “TMCA approached the project with ambition and precision, and PRO LAB was proud to support that mission with a complete ecosystem capable of elevating every aspect of the dome’s immersive experience.” While the project’s headline feature is its immersive, domebased show environment, the wider details showcase a far wider operationally complex brief than a single-room attraction. The inclusion of multiple zones, triggered presentation spaces, an interactive AI-driven audio feed and a presenter microphone integrated into the wider system has created a venue capable of hosting a range of visitor modes, from guided narration to interactive engagement, without fragmenting the underlying technical platform. www.prolabllc.com
