for unique products and projects that are easy to use on a daily basis. ProtoPixel can serve different professionals such as designers, integrators, and installers by allowing them to collaborate on any lighting project. From the smallest installation to the largest building.

Selected Case Studies

Fachada Mataró

Partnered with

Artec Studio

Transforming the Plaza de la Muralla into a vibrant canvas, here’s the new facade of Espai Mataró Conecta. This project was a collaboration between Artec Studio, Lumalia, LED Dream and ProtoPixel. A wall of 311 bars create a 36-meter wide display. Custom, dynamic and interactive content fed directly to the installation from our

ProtoPixel Mapping Tool and orchestrated by a Node. Artec Studio, the creative force behind the project, drew inspiration from Mataró’s visual and auditory map to create the Content, encapsulating the city’s essence. The lighting and control system developed by us created the backbone of this project.

These features provide great flexibility and allow the use of the facade as a communication element between the municipality and the citizens.

Illa Diagonal

Partnered with Lumalia

L’illa Diagonal, the first shopping center built in Barcelona, underwent an ambitious renovation project with a budget of 35 million euros. Led by the prestigious architectural firm Batlleiroig, the aim of this project is to redefine the shopping, art, and cultural experience offered by L’illa Diagonal. The center, which spans an impressive 35,000 square meters and boasts 170 stores,

attracts approximately 14 million visitors annually. Working in collaboration with the renowned architectural firm Batlleiroig and the studio Lighting Artec, Lumalia Studio has brought to life a dynamic 1,100 square meter installation that serves as a testament to the integration of architecture and lighting design.

La Casa de la Luz

Partnered with Simon Electric

La Casa de la Luz is a Simon unique space located in Madrid aimed to be the home of the new light, of which ProtoPixel had the honor to be part. In this venue, people can attend conferences, events, and training sessions, or enjoy an experiential environment in which to understand how light can transform environments and moods, change perceptions and emotions and, ultimately, change our

lives. Integrating the switches with ProtoPixel technology makes it possible to control the general switching on and off, thus representing each space’s tangible control. In this way, ProtoPixel offers us the possibility of modifying our moods by adapting them to our needs. Through integration with Simon 100 switches, ProtoPixel makes it possible to link interactions as simple as “all at the click of a button”.

1. All-in-one lighting platform

2. Allows DALI, SPI and DMX luminaires

3. Centralized control system

Unique Selling Points

The first floor is characterized by the need for functional light: it is a working and physical product display area. On the other hand, we enter a more experiential world on the second floor, where light becomes emotion. We focus on recreating light in the main spaces of our homes. Starting the tour in the bedroom we see the complete lighting simulation from waking up to going to bed.

Mineirao Stadium

The Mineirão Stadium, officially known as Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto, is a renowned football stadium located in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The stadium features an automation network composed of Protopixel equipment. This network enables the creation of a wide range of pre-programmed lighting effects that can be synchronized with music and on-field attractions remotely, using ProtoPixel’s Remote Access.

Partnered with Simon Electric

Mineirão will become the third stadium in Brazil to implement LED lighting, following the Morumbi Stadium in 2019 and the Allianz Parque in the previous year. This lighting upgrade not only enhances the visual experience for spectators but also contributes to energy efficiency and the overall development of the stadium’s infrastructure.

1. Synchronization of light and audio

2. Remote access for content updates

3. Ability to easily deploy custom content

Unique Selling Points

With the new LED technology, energy consumption will be reduced to less than half of the current: 800 kWh. The responsiveness of the lighting system has also improved, enabling instant activation and deactivation of the projectors. Previously, it would take approximately 15 minutes for the entire lighting system to fully illuminate, whereas now, it’s instantaneous, similar to turning on the lights at home.

Torre Glòries

The intervention Mix & Match put in the hands of thousands of people the possibility of drawing anything on the skin of the city’s iconic landmark. Controlled by tablets through our software Create, the façade of the Tower became during the 3 days of the festival an unmissable attraction for the public who went to the Poblenou neighborhood, the urban venue of the massive event. Since 2011, thanks to

Partnered with Merlin Properties

Merlin Properties, the company that owns the emblematic building designed by the prestigious architect Jean Nouvel, ProtoPixel has provided the technology and professional services for the lighting of the Tower, designing each and every one of the dozens of animations that have been seen over the years.

The upgrade of an existing installation that went from being underutilised due to the complexity of the control system, to becoming a dynamic element for the city and an asset for MERLIN, thanks to the ease of deploying new content offered by ProtoPixel.

Products ProtoPixel

Project Tool

Software

Software for managing lighting projects. It handles floorplan setup, luminaire control, space mood management, scheduler configuration, and is compatible with DALI devices. It also offers a WebSocket API for real-time control. It integrates different technologies while remaining agnostic and interoperable.

Mapping Tool

Pixel-to-pixel control tool, supports the creation of static and dynamic lighting scenes, interactive content using Python scripts, as well as the integration of image content from other software using NDI technology.

ProtoPixel App

The ProtoPixel App, also known as PPX, allows you to connect to a Project tool installation running on a node on the same network. With this app, you can see and control all elements, spaces, moods, and behaviors of your lighting project, depending on their capabilities. You can also create moods and apply them, as well as create behaviors for buttons and sensors.
