For the first event at the Nürburgring XL Video deployed almost 500sq.m of LED equipment. This included two 80-square-metre LED video trucks, five 50sq.m LED video trucks and two Mitsubishi DV 10 modular video walls that were mounted on the roof of the pit lane.
At the Sachsenring, 13 video walls with a combined LED video display area of 420sq.m provided spectators with views of the unfolding drama. For the motorbike grand prix at the Sachsenring, XL Video deployed six Mitsubishi DV 10 and Lighthouse R7 modular video walls as well as a 10sq.m Hibino 6mm large indoor video wall in the ADAC's VIP tent.
XL Video now has a contract with Nürburgring GmbH to provide large image video equipment for all formula one races at the track until 2011. In the case of the Sachsenring, XL Video has been handling the motorbike grand prix continuously since 2001 at the behest of ADAC Saxony/Motorsport Division. Here, too, XL Video has been commissioned to provide video equipment until at least 2011.
