Museum of the Bible
Bringing the Bible to Life
TechMDinc’s audio and video experts brought together the newest technical innovations to help tell stories from the oldest book in the world at the new Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. (opened November 2017). The third floor of the museum focuses on the stories of the Bible and features work from frequent collaborators BRC Imagination Arts and TechMDinc. Together, they created the immersive Hebrew Bible walk through, a collection of 15 theatrical environments covering nearly 15,000 square feet. In a span of 25 minutes, guests experience key points from the Hebrew Bible (or “Old Testament”) including the moment of creation, the burning bush, and the plagues of Egypt. TechMDinc leverages the magic of modern technology so that visitors feel like participants in the stories that have touched the lives of people the world over.
We would like to thank our collaboration partner BRC Imagination Arts, the primary creative producers on this project.

Systems Engineering and Integration
Weaving together lighting, sound effects, videos, and other special effects into one seamless system is one of our specialties. Our work connects all the technical aspects of an experience to create an unforgettable experience for your guests.
We engineer audio, video, and control systems that seamlessly integrate the many elements that go into a museum exhibit or a theme park ride. We also assist in upgrading client technologies and find ways to fold current technologies into the new system.
- Systems Designs: Concept through Schematic, Detail, and Construction Documents
- Bid Package and RFP preparation, and submittal evaluations
- CADD documentation
- 3D Modeling
- BIM Support
Show Systems and Effects Control
Our smart, customized communication systems link attractions, applications, and other technical elements across wide-spread facilities.
Show control systems coordinate entertainment elements such as lighting, sound, video, rigging, or pyrotechnics. We can do the basic work of automating the lights in your conference room or engineer more complex solutions such as a station for monitoring the statuses of multiple rides across acres of land. Our show control systems simplify your life.
- Control Systems Architecture
- Controls Programming: simple scripting to compiled apps
- Middleware development to facilitate communications between 3rd party devices
- User Interface Development
- Time sensitive/synchronized show control systems
Multiple Projector Systems
We bring your concept to life with special effects that amplify the guest experience.
Looking to create that “wow” factor with a few lasers or some explosive effects? We’ve engineered systems that trail sparkles along floors and walls and used half a dozen projectors or more to create effects that make sets come alive with dynamic video “paint”. Our team has deep experience in the motion picture industry, rides and amusement parks and full-immersion entertainment experiences.
- Synchronous playback
- 3 dimensional projection studies
- VR based pre-visualization
- Computerized calibration and matching of projectors and displays
- Auto-calibration systems
- UV Mapping
- Scale modeling
- High frame rate and 3D systems playback and projection
Audio and Video Distribution and Control
You’ll have total control over your media.
The most beautiful video can be diminished by a low-quality projector. The fullest, most flawlessly recorded audio can sound flat and lifeless coming out of a poorly-designed audio system. TechMDinc works with a variety of vendors and manufacturers to engineer the system that’s right for your project.
When audio and video needs to be synchronized and played on command, things get even more complicated. We have years of experience delivering complex solutions for small, contained projects and multi-acre venues and we’ll focus all that expertise on your project.
We’re one of only five worldwide certified independent QSYS programmers. We know what we’re doing.
- Network Architecture and Deployment
- Dual FFT audio systems tuning
- Computerized calibration and matching of projectors and displays
- Dedicated and Shared resource networks
System Operation Training and Support
Once it’s all finished, we’ll teach your people how to use it. We also offer ongoing technical support to assist with upgrades and other issues.
We pride ourselves on making systems that are easy to learn and easy to operate. To save you time and energy, we also offer simple, straight-forward operations manuals and employee training to get you up and running as quickly and painlessly as possible. We’ll also be there to support you as technology evolves.
