Sport attracts and unites millions of people all over the world, and modern audio-video and IT-techniques used at sports facilities help to make sport competitions and activities more entertaining and attractive.
Sports facilities can be divided into three main categories:
- Stadiums
- Fitness centers
- Sport bars
Stadiums
Sports stadiums, complexes and arenas are places of big and colorful sports events. Equipping such objects implies primarily installation of main information displaying facilities. These are a screen displaying the score and results (in the fans’ language – a board), a screen for replays and adverts, and the LED perimeter. The range of modern displaying systems allows choosing a solution that best meets the requirements and peculiarities of any sports facility.
The popularity and successful development of football stadiums, ice arenas, or sports complexes, depends a lot on their attractiveness in terms of leisure activities. The audience buy tickets to support their team and favorite sportsmen, see the world famous sports stars, but it is also important to get the feeling of the show, holiday and comfort created by media-facades and interactive screens at the entrance, the navigation system on the territory, the DigitalSignage system with a unique opportunity to observe what is going on at the field almost anywhere in the sports facility and other innovative systems.
In the recent past, sports facilities were “decorated” with ordinary signs with arrows or light-boxes that cost as much as modern LCD-panels today, that is why it is logical even for a typical stadium to use the advantages of dynamic solutions.
The content of Digital Signage – a system of distributed displays – is always quick and comfortable to watch, especially in combination with Public Address systems and the systems of background sound enabling to broadcast sound programs or advertisements in all facility areas and to turn off everything that prevents broadcasting safety information in cases of emergency.
The projects of equipping sports facilities always require a complex approach to the development and implementation of a solution, special attention to the choice and installation of equipment.
Fitness centers
Screens in fitness centers above a run treadmill or in the recreation area are not new. But only some use all advantages of this equipment, not to mention the possibilities of properly organized Digital Signage system.
Professionally made system will meet the objectives and the necessary level of complexity: what equipment is required where, what content shall be sent to what point, in what fragments should the picture on the screen be divided? It helps to provide the balance of inner and outer information and advertisement oriented directly to the target audience and needs, and what is most important, to install the software for comfortable and easy content control with the help of fitness-club personnel.
Sport bars
The number of places where customers are offered to watch sports broadcasts is constantly growing, and the quality of broadcast during popular sports competitions is becoming an important and sometimes critical argument in the competitive struggle for customers and creation of a ‘pool’ of regular customers.
For a sport bar, cafe, club, pub or other places broadcasting sports events the key factor is the audio-video equipment installed. There is no need for complex engineering, it is the systematic approach that is important: to correctly divide the room in segments and define the placement, size and number of screens to provide the viewers with a high-quality image regarding the viewing angles from different places and the clean sound, and to work out a nice and simple interface, not distracting barmen from their main work, to control the process.
