Continuing our 28-year association as an Official Worldwide Olympic Partner for the Audio and Visual Equipment category, we flash back to the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, notable for introducing “4K format” broadcasting for the first time in Olympic Games history to deliver the excitement and passion of the Games with a greater sense of reality and unprecedented image quality to viewers around the world.
Panasonic technology at
Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games
Professional Display
Panasonic supplied a 1,727m2 LED large-screen display system, the largest ever for a Winter Games. Above the grandstands, the main ice hockey stadium featured an enormous hanging cubic screen measuring 6.5m in height and 30m in circumference, plus a seamless, ribbon-shaped screen that nearly circled the entire stadium. These two elements contributed to an unprecedented level of spectator excitement and emotion in the venue.
Security Solutions
Panasonic supplied approximately 7,000 security cameras to the Sochi 2014. To fully address terrorism concerns voiced ahead of the Opening Ceremony, we installed a record number of cameras far exceeding the 2,500 installed at the London 2012 Games. The Games were a great success without any major security issues.
Broadcasting Equipment
Panasonic achieved high-speed, high-definition program production making use of the P2HD series, broadcasting equipment with superior mobility. In addition, Panasonic supplied the IBC (International Broadcast Centre) and the host station with a large number of equipment such as 100 units of P2HD cameras (P2HD recorders/P2HD cameras) and 4,000+ monitors to allow global broadcasters to send high-quality footage all over the world in a timely manner, contributing to the digitalisation of Olympic media.
The Full HD digital video format, “AVC-Intra100,” was used again following its success at the London 2012 Games. The network-based work flow allowed for global broadcasters to send high-quality footage all over the world in a timely manner, contributing to the digitalisation of Olympic media.
Professional Projector
Inside the Olympic Park, Coca-Cola’s 3D projection mapping show was presented at the Iceberg Skating Palace. Panasonic’s highly-competent DLP projectors projected images in amazing clarity onto the curved surface of the walls.
HD Visual Communication System
At Sochi 2014, Panasonic supplied 89 HD visual communication systems, making connectivity possible between remote locations with standard Internet access and allowing conversations in Full HD image and sound quality. The HDVC system became an indispensable communications tool for the operation of the Games.
