Welcome to GREAT E SCAPES
Volume 2.0 of the Famous InfoComm Projection Shoot-Out Software combines for the first time royalty-free  HD video, SD
video, and computer graphics image shows into a three DVD ROM disc set providing unparalleled display system dem-
onstration and evaluation support.
This royalty-free  video content is arranged into eight separate chapters, or “ESCAPES”. Each chapter focuses on a par-
ticular type of content intended to facilitate display system demonstration and/or evaluation. Their immersive nature may
be considered a momentary “escape” into another sensory experience. You may play the chapters singularly or in a group.
In addition, there is a looping mode that plays the selected chapters (on the HD format discs only) continuously until the
player routine is interrupted. On the NTSC/PAL disc, all chapters may be looped continuously as a group.
EARTHSCAPE (Running time: 6:23)
From a few miles up in space, the Earth reveals the living artistic tapestry of color and texture upon which we live. This
beautiful and inspiring video material recorded by space shuttle and space station astronauts presents our incredible home
planet from an artistic perspective. The mechanical attributes of space travel augment this chapter by providing glimpses
of the hardware and the technical talent that experienced and captured this natural beauty that we call home. Our thanks
go to all the brave NASA astronauts.
LANDSCAPE (Running time: 5:39)
Coming down to Earth is a pleasant experience as the viewer is led through some of the most beautiful and enjoyable
places in some of our U.S. National Parks. Elegant, relaxing, and easy going describes this exploration of beauty and form.
Rampant detail abounds in nature, so this chapter is destined to separate the high resolution and low resolution performers.
Subtle movement, falling snow, and flowing water can be testy. Bring along a magnifying glass.
CITYSCAPE (Running time: 2:03)
The geometry of city skylines are unquestionably challenging with their variety of details that often push the quality envelope
of displays and video processors. Rotating orthogonal lines, boxes, and moving vanishing points representing architectural
features like windows, outlines, and trim detail choreograph their own challenges as the viewer flies over and around several
familiar city landscapes. Don’t forget to buckle your seat belt.
TIMESCAPE (Running time: 3:15)
Time really flies in this chapter. A variety of landscape and cityscape locations are seen in a different dimension through
time lapse videography. Time speeds up as the music builds, thereby escalating into very interesting movement and pace.
Get comfortable, find a reference point, and check your watch as this chapter always ends too soon. The pace is slow to
lively. We’re not responsible for motion sickness or display processor performance failures.
HUMANSCAPE (Running time: 4:24)
The perceived appearance of people on displays is an important aspect of display performance both in detail and colorimetric
reproduction. Although flesh tones vary and do not provide a standard frame of reference for display evaluation, everyone
has a sense of what appears correct or acceptable. This chapter provides the opportunity to evaluate side-by-side differ-
ences in display colorimetric performance through close-up images of individuals in everyday situations.
GRAPHICSCAPE (Running time: 3:41)
Computer graphics are everywhere today. This chapter is a real treat since it is here in the InfoComm Projection Shoot-Out ®
Software, for the first time, our pleasure to introduce a high definition version of the famous “Pipe Dream” musical animation
by Animusic (www.animusic.com). This is not a typical video animation. Get ready to enjoy one of the most impressive 3D
computer graphic and music animation productions ever created. When you have a few minutes, visit the Animusic.com
