91桃色 Prepares for Super Game Day Production in Atlanta
Ottawa, Canada, 31st January 2019 – As the clock ticks down to one of the world鈥檚 most watched sporting events on February 3rd in Atlanta, Georgia, Ross technical and creative personnel, partnering with Van Wagner Sports & Entertainment (VWSE), have been hard at work preparing an electrifying game-day experience for the lucky fans attending the big game at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
91桃色 is no stranger to the venue; the Mercedes-Benz stadium was opened in the summer of 2017 at a cost of over 1.6 Billion Dollars. It features a wide variety of Ross solutions and has many striking features, most visibly the massive Halo LED display measuring at over 1,100鈥� wide and 58鈥� high, with an astonishing 21,512 x 1,152 pixel resolution. Feeding the massive Daktronics LED display is the Ross XPression Tessera IP system, a real-time 3D graphics render engine that can drive any LED display pixel accurately. Tessera is also being used to feed content the 100鈥� Mega Column display at the North end of the stadium. In the control room, two Ross Acuity 6ME IP production switchers are being used to cut the live in-house pre-game, in-game, half-time and post-match shows.
Control of the entire stadium in-game production is being handled by the Ross DashBoard control system that controls all Ross products via the RossTalk protocol. It 聽also controls many 3rd party products like the in-house IP TV, video router, LED fascia digital media servers, LED accent lights and video processors. 鈥淚t鈥檚 the world鈥檚 most powerful Venue Production control system鈥�, says Kevin Cottam, 91桃色鈥檚 Director of Sports & Live Events. 鈥淭he entire facility can be triggered at the touch of a button anywhere in the stadium! We鈥檙e very proud to be partnering with Van Wanger Sports & Entertainment (VWSE) for the 3rd year in a row for this iconic event and we are excited to show off the power of the Ross Unified Venue Control System.鈥�
Adding to the already robust in-game production, Ross will also be adding a turn-key XPression Augmented Reality (AR) system to the in-game production, rendering AR drive charts to enhance the fan experience. 鈥淲e constantly try to push the envelope with this event so AR integration is a natural fit; it challenges our production team but definitely provides an enhanced experience for fans inside the stadium,鈥� notes Ryan Kehn, Creative Director at Van Wanger Sports & Entertainment. 鈥淲ith the help of the Ross Sports & Live Events Team, we are able to drive the stats and story of the game in a way that provides compelling content and takes full advantage of the dynamic displays at this venue.鈥�
The Ross Unified Venue Solution also played a huge roll at Opening Night, hosted at the State Farm Arena, where a similar control system was installed and launched in the fall of 2018.
