Easy Technical Integration

Kinetarium is designed for large projection surfaces and can be integrated into existing dome infrastructures.

  • Use of existing projection technology

  • Adaptation to different dome sizes

  • Easy installation

  • The planetarium must have a digital fulldome projection system (e.g., Vioso Anyblend, Screenberry media server) capable of accepting a real-time video signal (via screen capture or Spout). For systems with a single projector, experience has shown that setting up the Kinetarium client is very simple and can be done with just a few clicks.

    The computer running the Kinetarium Client should have the following or comparable hardware:

    • Hard drive: 1.5 GB free space

    • RAM: 16 GB

    • Processor: 3.1 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7

    • Graphics card: GeForce RTX 3050 6 GB

  • The computer running the Kinetarium Client requires a constant and stable internet connection.

    Visitors also need internet access on their mobile devices to participate. We recommend providing an open Wi-Fi network for visitors. If there is good cellular reception inside the dome, Wi-Fi is not required.
