FAQ

Projection mapping is a visual display technology that uses high-brightness projectors and specialized software to project video, graphics, and animations onto almost any surface—including buildings, arenas, stages, courts, fields, and scenic elements. Advanced calibration tools warp and blend the imagery so it aligns perfectly with the shape, scale, and dimensions of the surface, even when it’s curved, textured, or irregular. The result is a seamless, immersive visual experience that transforms physical spaces into dynamic storytelling environments.

Projection mapping is ideal for organizations looking to create high-impact, immersive visual experiences that engage audiences and elevate live events. It is widely used by professional and collegiate sports teams, venues and stadiums, event producers, corporate brands, unions, and experiential marketing agencies. Projection mapping is especially effective for game presentation, brand activations, product launches, ceremonies, and large-scale live events where visual impact and audience engagement are critical.

Projection mapping can be applied to a wide range of surfaces within arenas, stadiums, and event venues. Common applications include playing surfaces such as ice rinks, basketball courts, baseball diamonds, and football fields. It can also be used on architectural features like walls, ceilings, and building exteriors, as well as custom scenic elements, including stage backdrops, statues, water features, and rock walls.

Each surface presents unique challenges and opportunities. Our team evaluates every environment and performs precise calibration to ensure the projected visuals are bright, immersive, and perfectly aligned for maximum impact.

The price for projection mapping varies based on venue size, projector placement, infrastructure, and whether you are seeking a one-time event activation or permanent system integration. Every project is custom scoped, and we provide detailed proposals after an initial consultation.

• Event activations typically start in the low six figures.
• Permanent turnkey systems can range from mid-six figures to over one million, depending on arena size and technology requirements.

Quince Imaging is not a rental house or wholesale projector provider. Instead, we deliver full-service solutions, which include projection technology, servers, controls, broadcast video systems, and most importantly, our experienced team plans, operate and support the system for your live events.

• Live Events: We provide temporary activations with full-service support.
• Perminant Installs: We design and integrate turnkey systems tailored to your venue and train your staff how to operate.

Project timelines vary based on the type of activation and venue requirements.

For live event activations, the full planning process typically spans 4–6 weeks from contract signing to show day. This timeline includes system design, content development, previsualization, testing, on-site setup, and dedicated rehearsal time to ensure flawless execution.

For permanent integrations, timelines generally range from 2–3 months, depending on construction progress, rigging design, and coordination with the venue’s AV and operations teams.

Projection mapping systems typically include high-brightness laser projectors, media servers, and specialized mapping software to accurately align visuals to surfaces like buildings, courts, stages, or fields. Additional components may include rigging and mounts, control systems, and networking infrastructure to support live events and synchronized playback. Professional installation, calibration, and technical support are also key to achieving reliable, high-quality results.

Yes. We specialize in seamless integration. Our projection systems can be connected to your existing AV infrastructure, including video routing, scoreboard systems, and in-game presentation workflows. We design flexible systems that work with your current operations team.

Yes. A dedicated control system is required to operate the projectors, servers, and show cues reliably. This ensures that content plays correctly; transitions are seamless, and the system can be monitored and adjusted in real time. Our team provides an integrated control solution and will train your staff to manage the system with confidence.

Yes. Quince Imaging offers full creative services, including 3D animation, motion graphics, and real-time data integration (player stats, live feeds, fan engagement activations).
