Creating an Immersive Experince With LED Screens – SeaWorld – Jellyfish Exhibit – San Diego
At SeaWorld San Diego, the goal was to create a calming, immersive LED screen environment that made visitors feel truly submerged in the aquatic world. But achieving that meant more than just great visuals – it required bespoke engineering, high-efficiency technology, and strong technical collaboration.
Creating an Immersive LED screen experience around existing circular aquarium windows
Fitting LED displays around the circular aquarium windows came with its own set of challenges. To bring the vision to life, digiLED teamed up with AVI-SPL to design a system that blended standard flat-wall displays, curved LED panels, and custom-built modules, tailored precisely to the unique architectural features of the space.
Joe Lapchick, Director of Business Development at digiLED US said:
“Working with AVI-SPL was essential, the custom design and complexity of wrapping displays around circular structures meant we needed a partner who could adapt and collaborate every step of the way. The result is a seamless blend of screen types that deliver immersive content exactly where SeaWorld wanted it.”
AV collaboration that brings immersive design to life
Mark Coxon, Director of Strategy & Markets at AVI-SPL, added:
“This project is a great example of what can happen when design, engineering and execution come together. From day one, our teams worked side by side to make sure SeaWorld San Diego had a solution that looked beautiful and worked perfectly.”
Energy efficiency a key driver behind LED technology choices
But this installation wasn’t just about aesthetics, energy efficiency was a major priority for SeaWorld. That’s why they selected digiLED ZEUS, the intelligent power management system designed to dramatically reduce power consumption when displays aren’t active.
Why SeaWorld chose digiLED ZEUS
- Zero power draw in standby – cuts all energy use to ZERO when screens are off
- Soft-start protection – reduces electrical stress on the system at startup
- Easy integration – works with AV control systems for automated power scheduling
Sustainable LED screen technology delivering long-term value
This installation shows how thoughtful technology choices – backed by close collaboration, can bring even the most ambitious design ideas to life without compromising on sustainability. SeaWorld San Diego now has an environment that’s immersive, calming and built to perform quietly in the background, powered by digiLED ZEUS.
