GBvi Completes Delivery of Specialist Multi-Channel Optical Blending for European Fast Jet Simulator

Plumpton Green, United Kingdom, January 19, 2016 (Newswire.com) - UK-based expert in display technology innovation and multi-channel projector blending, GBvi, has completed delivery of a five-channel Chronos optical blending installation for a European Fast Jet Simulator installation.

The company was awarded the contract by Antycip Simulation in August 2015, after a year-long commercial relationship.

Antycip Simulation markets, distributes and supports a range of commercial software solutions for the modelling, simulation and training communities. GBvi was chosen to provide Chronos, its proprietary high performance film/glass blend mask solution, for a seamless multi-channel digitally projected display.

Antycip Simulation’s requirements detailed display design validation and the specialist need for wide-angle lens compatibility, among other key contract requirements.

Riccardo Rovelli, Area Manager for Italy and Germany, at Antycip Simulation notes, “Antycip Simulation uses GBvi technologies in a range of fast-jet and helicopter simulation applications – their experience, dedication to innovation and exceptional support, help us meet the technical and design challenges clients present us with”.

He went on to say, “It’s critical to our projects, that our technology partners maintain unrivalled levels of accuracy and attention to detail in both system design and delivery. I’m very pleased to say that GBvi is an excellent partner, in these regards, and far exceeded our expectations."

Geoff Blackham, Founder and Managing Director at GBvi explained, “This was a notably exciting project for us. Our team employed several design customisations including projector alignment boresight pattern generation, specialist mounts, custom blend masks, HUD filter assembly and warp mesh generation. Our engineers were fully integrated as part of the team with Antycip Simulation and on-site at the end client, for successful simulator integration.”

GBvi supported both the projection display and blend installations. A key feature of the Chronos optical blending technology is its fast installation time and full customisation process. GBvi completed blending installation in just one day on this contract – a phase that can typically take several days.

“We were chosen as providers of the highest quality blending system available in the market and for our positive customer support reputation.” Blackham continued. “This successful project illustrates that we offer valuable scope well beyond product supply – we are delighted to have been a part of the installation team on this project.”
