Stadium Australia New TV Screens
27th February 2009
The biggest Panasonic HD LED video screen installation in the world was unveiled today at ANZ Stadium, and they will be in use for the first time at an event at the Charity Shield on Saturday night. These High Definition LED screens are the biggest in Australia each being over 10 metres high and over 23 metres long. To give this some perspective they are more than 50% bigger than the Panasonic screens installed in Beijing’s Bird’s Nest Stadium and are 70% bigger than the original screens installed at ANZ Stadium for the 2000 Sydney Olympics They will make their much anticipated debut at Saturday night’s Charity Shield showdown between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and St. George Illawarra Dragons and their launch is the first major announcement to be made by ANZ Stadium in 2009 – its’ 10th Birthday year. “Our objective for the new video screens is to deliver the best viewing experience possible for the fans at ANZ Stadium,” ANZ Stadium CEO and Managing Director Ken Edwards said. “These Panasonic screens deliver a viewing experience which is unsurpassed anywhere in the world.” “The screens are large enough to enable live vision of the game to be displayed at the same time as player statistics, scores, sponsored messages and venue information. For our fans this means uninterrupted viewing of the game.”
