Measuring six panels wide by six panels high (9.60m x 7.20m), the 12mm visual resolution P12-ER screen is being used as a scoreboard and to show advertisements during matches. It serves as a medium that can support new and interesting content and provide a valuable additional revenue stream for the club.
Lighthouse handled both the sale and integration of the screen. "P12-ER is an enhanced resolution product, which means more detailed information can be displayed on the screen than with a standard 25mm pixel pitch screen," says Alessio Giagnoni, Lighthouse's sales support manager for Southern Europe. "P12-ER was designed specifically for the sports market. Its 5000 nits of brightness can cope with direct sunlight and its wide viewing angle gives the best possible view for the maximum amount of spectators possible."
The screen is controlled by a Lighthouse LIP-XGA interface processor and an X-Drive Pro image scaler via optical fibre connections, with content fed via Class X software provide by Italian company Project Italia.
