LED SPHERES · ENGINEERED BY DOIT VISION

LED sphere display. Make the story visible from every side.

A display built around a globe, a dome or an inward-facing hemisphere. Start with the shape and viewing position; we help define the diameter, pixel pitch, content map and installation.

01 / Product overview

A screen with volume.
A new viewing path.

An LED sphere wraps video around a three-dimensional structure. A full globe can be seen from different sides; a hemisphere places the image on either its outside or its inside.

The frame, LED modules and pixel map are designed together. Diameter sets the scale in the room, pitch sets the image detail, and the mounting position determines how people approach the display.

IMMERSIVE SPACES

Bring viewers inside the image

An inward-facing hemisphere turns a concave surface into a portal or intimate viewing zone.

02 / Choose the form

Full globe or hemisphere?
Start with the viewer.

These are three different structures. The visible side of the modules and the way people
move through the space lead the choice.

A curved portal that faces people looking into it. Opening size, sightline and access behind the surface shape the build.

03 / Product features

The sphere starts
beneath the pixels.

A finished result depends on the structural frame, the curved module layout and a content map made for the built surface.

01 / STRUCTURE

A frame for the chosen form

A full sphere and the two hemisphere orientations use different supports. Agree the opening, lifting and mounting points before production.

02 / IMAGE

Pitch and diameter together

Choose the size for the space and the pitch for viewing distance and content detail. Standard indoor diameters vary by model.

03 / CONTENT

Map the built surface

Prepare artwork against the confirmed pixel map so seams, the poles and the visible viewing zones are considered.

04 / ACCESS

Service from the face

Front maintenance still needs a safe working route. Keep access and cable paths in the installation plan.

Available diameters vary by pixel pitch. Final resolution, weight, power and mounting details are confirmed
with the selected configuration.

For public areas where guests can reach the display, ask for the optional GOB surface treatment when
requesting the configuration.

06 / Mooncell control and content

Make the picture fit.
Then run the show.

Mooncell’s sphere solution combines a controller for the curved LED layout with a playback source for the show. The screen map and playback setup are confirmed for the sphere that is built.

HOW PLAYBACK WORKS

One mapped screen. Your choice of source.

During commissioning, the LED modules and pixel positions are configured in the Mooncell control system.A connected playback server can run prepared videos, images and text; a live video input can be planned when the project needs it.

The controller maps that source across the built sphere. The exact software, player, input connections and method for updating content are supplied with the selected control package.

01 / GET THE MAP

Ask for the approved content canvas.

Before production, request the final pixel dimensions, seam position, pole orientation and a test image for your exact sphere or hemisphere.

02 / DESIGN AND TEST

Build for a curved surface.

Keep small text and logos away from the seam and poles. Send a still frame and a short motion sample to check orientation, continuity and distortion on the assembled screen.

03 / PLAY OR FEED LIVE

Load the approved show.

Import the finished files into the specified Mooncell playback software for local playback, or feed the agreed live source. File format and export settings follow the supplied system manual.

07 / Installation

Choose the position.
Design the support.

The screen, structure and site access are one decision. Share a site photo, dimensions and the intended viewing route so the support and service plan match the space.

08 / Packing and delivery

Plan the journey.
Then plan the lift.

The packed assembly must fit the freight route and the building access. Confirm the package format before the site team books lifting equipment or closes an opening.

LARGER DIAMETERS

Ship in sections

Above roughly Ø2 m, plan a modular kit and supervised site reassembly. Include the frame, module map, access equipment and commissioning time in the installation scope.

PREFERRED WHEN PRACTICAL

Ship an assembled sphere

Ø1.0, Ø1.5 and Ø1.8 m are useful starting points when the project can accept a whole unit. Packing limits, route dimensions and handling still need confirmation for each order.

Ask the quotation to list package count, outside dimensions, gross weight, spares, mounting hardware, cabling and the drawings supplied for handover. Check doorways, lifts and the route to the final mounting position.

09 / Before you order

New to LED spheres?

Begin with the shape, an approximate size and a photo of the location. The engineering details can follow.

What is an LED sphere display?

An LED sphere display is a three-dimensional screen made from curved LED modules on a structural frame. A full sphere shows content around a globe; hemispheres show it on either a convex outside or a concave inside. Diameter, pixel pitch, content map and mounting arrangement are selected together for the location and viewing route.

How do I choose between a full sphere and a hemisphere?

Choose a full sphere when viewers will approach from several sides and the display should read as a complete globe. Choose an outward hemisphere for a luminous dome viewed from outside. Choose an inward hemisphere when people look into a concave portal. Each form needs its own frame, module layout and service plan, so confirm the viewing position first.

Which sizes and pixel pitches are available?

Indoor catalog models range from SS-1.25 to SS-2.5, or P1.25 to P2.5, with listed diameters varying by pitch from Ø0.3 m to Ø4 m. The outdoor reference covers P2.5, P3, P4 and P5 at about Ø1–6 m. Send the desired diameter, nearest viewing distance and site conditions so the offered combination can be confirmed on a drawing.

How is video prepared for a sphere?

Start with the pixel map for the built display. Check where the image meets at the seam and how text or logos appear near the top and bottom. The content may begin as a flat file, but it should be composed and tested for the spherical surface. A representative test frame is useful before the final video export.

What control and playback options are used?

The sphere configuration uses Mooncell control and can be planned for saved content or a live signal. Tell us which playback mode, input and operating workflow the project needs. The player model, transfer method, storage and signal connections are set with the final system drawing, while the content map follows the manufactured LED surface.

Can an LED sphere be installed outdoors?

Outdoor catalog references include P2.5, P3, P4 and P5 spheres around Ø1–6 m with IP65 protection. The location still determines the required brightness, mounting, drainage, cable routing and service access. Share a site photo and exposure conditions before choosing the enclosure and electrical arrangement for the quotation.

How is a sphere installed and serviced?

A full sphere may hang from a designed support or stand on a base; a hemisphere can be integrated with the surrounding structure. The project drawing should identify loads, fixings, cables and working clearance. Front service gives access to LED modules from the displayed face, but the installer still needs safe physical access to that face.

Will a large sphere ship as one piece?

Whole-unit packing can be practical for selected smaller diameters, commonly around Ø1.0, Ø1.5 and Ø1.8 m, when the crate and site route allow it. Above roughly Ø2 m, plan for sectional packing and reassembly. Confirm the package dimensions, lifting route and assembly scope before committing to a diameter.

When should I specify GOB protection?

GOB is an optional surface treatment to discuss when visitors can reach the sphere, such as in a retail floor, museum or lobby. It is selected during configuration because the module finish affects the build. Send the expected visitor access and cleaning conditions so the engineer can advise whether it belongs in the quoted specification.

What information is useful for a quotation?

Send the preferred form, approximate diameter and quantity, indoor or outdoor location, nearest viewing distance, and a site photo. Add the intended mounting position, content type and delivery destination if known. Pixel pitch can remain open for recommendation; the quote then confirms the exact model, structure, package format and installation scope.
