Pixel Mosaic

Pixel Mosaic Pixel Mosaic is a media creation and ex*****on firm for live events and fixed installations

Pixel Mosaic began its journey in 2005 when JJ Myers founded J2 Creative Media Design. The thought behind the venture was to approach media ex*****on for the live event market from a completely unique perspective. JJ recognized there were companies that specialized in the art of creating content and companies that specialized in the science of creating content. However, there was a substantial lac

k of ventures that blended art and science in an efficient, results-oriented fashion. The mission behind J2 Creative Media Design was to provide a level of service for the strategy of content creation that took into account art and science starting from inception. Today, Pixel Mosaic is known for our passion to boldly go where few (or none) have gone in the live events industry. We are constantly pushing the envelope and taking calculated technological risks to bring a level of production to our clients that is unmatched in the industry. If there were metrics for "value for your pixel", we feel quite certain ours would be at the top! Pixel Mosaic offers Media Server Operations for a variety of servers including Disguise (d3), Millumin, WATCHOUT, Power Point, and/or Keynote. In addition to media server operations, we can also provide custom motion graphics for live events that provide quality and seamless integration with a live event presentation and theme.

We’ve moved! Pixel Mosaic has found a new home in South Holland, IL. Our new location offers a spacious warehouse to store and prepare our equipment for shows, as well as room to build new servers. The office space includes a server room, where we can feed lines directly to a command station for testing feeds and training. There's plenty of room for collaboration and productivity, and we couldn't be more excited to start the new year in our new space!

At Pixel Mosaic, we understand there is a lot of curiosity and mystery surrounding the codecs and formats we insist on for various playback situations. We decided to produce a little video that helps unravel that mystery and bring clarity to how different codecs work, and what they are engineered for.

Pixel Mosaic was in Atlanta this past week at the State Farm Arena (home of the Atlanta Hawks) working with White Tie Productions and Friendship Creative at the National Leadership & Skills Conference hosted by SkillsUSA.

SkillsUSA is a workforce development organization empowering students to become skilled professionals. Their National Leadership & Skills Conference celebrates the skilled trades and accomplishments of leaders across the US in a week-long event. You can check out videos and photos from this event and previous events on their website.

Here’s a brief breakdown of this large-scale event:

- White Tie Productions developed their own brilliant scripting system that is used for this event to handle the communication and management of the massive volume of show cues involved with this event. We’ve been so busy, we have not had a chance to do a final tally, but we believe it was in excess of 500 total manual cues for the media server position alone! Whatever it ended up being, we believe it breaks any previous record!

- We brought along our Watchout System with new SilverPro display machines. These machines have 8TB of storage in the form of 4x 2TB M.2 drives and 25Gbps network infrastructure.

- We integrated with the arena’s internal LED system, providing content for all internal ticker and scoreboard screens as well as a 6000x1000 stage-designed LED!

Major kudos to Eric, our media server operator from the Pixel Mosaic team, for his hard work and dedication in tackling such a demanding show.

There may be one ring to rule them all, but we had 12x LED Infinity rings that ruled this show!

If you have been following Pixel Mosaic’s journey in recent weeks, you’ll know we recently provided service to 5 different rooms at Chipotle AMC 2024 in Las Vegas. We are extremely grateful to have been given the opportunity by Unbridled to work with some of the best professionals in the industry!
Here is a breakdown of what was provided:

General Session:

- Disguise system consisting of 6x Disguise servers (3x main, 3x understudy)
- 12x LED Infinity Rings, including 4 for an automated chandelier (Somebody call Guinness, cause I’m pretty sure that’s a record!!)
- 3x large curved LED screens (1x concave, 2x convex)
- ~30M total LED pixels

4x Breakout Rooms:

- 1x Cinematic style theatre experience, featuring a custom WATCHOUT system running a 35 min UHD TIFF Sequence
- 3x rooms consisting of multiple LED and projection screens, all driven by Mac Studio based Millumin systems

Thanks and credit for joining the Pixel Mosaic team for this job:

- Ryan Greenburg
- Jesse Walker (Kinematic Media Solutions)

We recently supported an event that involved a long-duration video (35 minutes). Being a corporate event, we wanted to provide our client a solution that would retain the ability to revise/edit all the way up until show time, all while the editor remained at a remote location. Take a look at how we went about it!

Last week, we had the privilege of joining OPAV on-site to help drive content for a massive stage design. The design featured 2x projection screens at ~4:1 aspect ratio, several LED screens as a scenic backdrop, and an LED infinity ring. Altogether, nearly 70 million pixels were being driven by our servers. We used 10x Disguise servers (includes redundancy) to do the job. It was a massive undertaking and we are very thankful and grateful to OPAV for the opportunity!

Hey Matt, we found your trunk! Shout out to one of the onsite producers, Katie, for her wonderful Vanna White impression when communicating the relocated work trunk to your very busy media server operator. Anyone who works on live events knows how cases can sort of magically migrate to different places backstage. Having each other’s backs is key to a great production team!
