The Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games (Rio 2016) draw closer and Panasonic is set to play a major part in our capacity as both an Official Ceremony Partner – a first for Panasonic – and as the Official Worldwide Olympic Partner in the Audio and Visual Equipment category.

Panasonic will provide more than 100 high brightness compact 20,000 lumen projectors (PT-DZ21K2), multiple Broadcast Grade 2-M/E Live Switchers (AV-HS6000 Series), and other visual equipment to help to enhance the quality and excitement of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies by delivering impressive images to the audiences around the globe watching the world’s greatest ceremonies in Rio de Janeiro.

Panasonic will also work closely with the Rio 2016 Ceremonies Department and the production company CC2016 (Ceremony Cariocas) to provide a turnkey visual solution, including projector system design, technical consultation, system installation, and onsite operation and maintenance of the visual systems for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

“Panasonic is proud to become an ‘Official Ceremony Partner’ for the first time and support the Olympic Games Ceremonies, to create another successful era of Panasonic’s contributions to the Olympic Movement. There is no doubt that Rio 2016 will present unique and spectacular Ceremonies and Panasonic’s technology and engineers will help deliver a great experience of spectators inside the Maracana Stadium and for those watching from living rooms around the world.” – Satoshi Takeyasu, Executive Officer of Panasonic.
