Al-Attaba Al-Abbasiya Mosque in Karbala (Iraq) it is considered by Shia Muslims as one of the holiest places. Dedicated to Imam Al-Abbas, the sanctuary is visited by millions of visitors each year and is attended by more than 3.000 professionals and tens of thousands of volunteers.

A holy place that is also the target of a large number of terrorist threats so they decided to provide the building with security measures that would protect both those who work there and the faithful.

In 2014, the facilities were equipped with a closed-circuit television system (Cctv), composed of hundreds of surveillance cameras, and a powerful and intelligent video analysis system has been implemented iOmniscient who is able to manage the large crowd that comes. For this, the mosque has been equipped with facial recognition applications, people count, crowd control, detection of abandoned objects, recognition of license plates...

The management of all this security infrastructure is carried out from a control center, operational 24×7, in which has been installed a large videowall composed of 27 rear projection cubes eyevis EC-56-LWXT-1000 DLP.

“We needed a visualization solution that was capable of displaying the images collected by hundreds of cameras and that could be mounted in a limited space where it is difficult to maintain them.. In addition, we needed reliability and great resolution. The 1,920×1,200 pixel DLP solution from eyevis was the answer to our requirements", comment Firas Abbas, project Manager at Al-Moashour Ing.

The EC-56-LWXT-1000 DLP is a modular solution that features a screen diagonal of 56 inches and WUXGA resolution (1920×1200 pixels). It uses Led technology and is specially designed for applications that require reliable operation 24×7, as is the case of the Karbala mosque.

Being a videowall of large format, composed of a large number of screens, the assembly has been carried out on an infrastructure that moves on a servomotor that facilitates maintenance.

This videowall has been installed next to an eyevis ACT-CommBoard for automatic color tracking, solution that is completed with Eyecon V4 software, which allows you to control large format screens like this, and the videowall management system netPIX 4800.

Eyevis worked on this project with the companies that had been in charge of the installation of the video analysis system, iOmniscient and Al-Moashour Co, pioneer of information technology in Iraq.
