Coordinating 40 Projectors and LED Displays with hecoos at the 2026 CCTV Mid-Autumn Gala

Inspired by traditional Chinese xuan paper, the stage featured a large, irregular structure that served as a continuous visual canvas for projected imagery and LED content.

Productions of this scale require visual content to work across different display surfaces while remaining consistent with the physical stage design. hecoos provided the playback and control infrastructure for this multi-display setup, supporting the delivery of visuals across the stage.

The stage’s irregular geometry and the tight preparation schedule made advance planning particularly valuable. The production team used hecoos’s previsualization capabilities to review the stage and projection setup before arriving on site.

By checking how content would map onto the physical structure in advance, the team could identify potential adjustments earlier and reduce the amount of fine-tuning required during final preparation. This helped make better use of the limited time available on site.

For large-scale live productions, previsualization offers a practical way to connect the creative plan with the technical requirements of the actual venue. It allows teams to work through spatial and mapping considerations before moving into the final stages of production.
