Traxon Media Tube® RGB adds a vibrant element to the entrance and concert hall of EX Theater. To highlight EX Tower in Roppongi skyline by night, over 300 pieces of customized 40PXL Traxon Media Tube® RGB in direct view were mounted and fitted onto the aluminum curtain wall. Capable of replaying medium-to-high resolution graphical content, Traxon Media Tubes® RGB on the facade showcases pre-programmed dynamic graphics such as the cartoon character “Go-chan” panda, the new mascot of TV Asahi.
