Samsung names the world’s biggest sports LED display
The 6,500 sqm double-sided videoboard backed by the largest LED content playback system ever deployed has been named The Infinity Screen by Samsung.
Samsung Electronics America and the SoFi Stadium which serves two NFL teams based in Los Angeles have announced that they are going to call an enormous centre-hung videoboard in the middle of the stadium The Infinity Screen by Samsung.
The screen features the most LEDs ever used in a sports or entertainment venue and also offer the first and only 4K, end-to-end video production in a stadium.
“It’s been a long time coming, but we are so proud to announce The Infinity Screen by Samsung,” said Mark Quiroz, vice -president of the display division at Samsung Electronics America. “SoFi Stadium is one of the NFL’s crown jewels and it has been a privilege and an honour to work with the team on this project. We are incredibly excited to see fans engage with the Infinity Screen in-person for the first time.”
The two organisations said naming the videoboard at SoFi Stadium took many months of consideration and testing, with the team reviewing over a dozen names that communicated Samsung and SoFi Stadium’s overall vision. The name Infinity comes from Samsung’s long history with bezel-less displays and the videoboard’s design.
“We are excited to introduce the official name for our 70,000 square-foot (6,500 sqm), dual-sided video board, The Infinity Screen by Samsung. The Infinity Screen creates an absolutely stunning presence inside SoFi Stadium,” said Jason Gannon, managing director of the SoFi Stadium and the Hollywood Park site on which it stands. “It is powered by the largest graphics control system in the history of sports and is already synonymous with the next-level fan experience at SoFi Stadium.”
Built for the future and positioned 122 feet above the playing field, The Infinity Screen by Samsung has the largest LED content playback system ever deployed. With nearly 80 million pixels spaced 8 millimetres from centre to centre, each panel can be individually or congruently programmed with statistics, live and/or animated content.
The different sides of the video panels are designed to serve spectators in every seat, from the sideline to the upper deck. Teams on the sidelines and fans sitting in the lower bowl of the stadium will view the inside of screen as it sits directly across from their line of view, while guests in the upper bowl will view the outer panels of the videoboard.
