AV technology integrator Solotech, working with Barco’s Canadian distributor, SC Media Technologies, configured a system using 12 double-stacked 14,000 lumens HD projectors, featuring more than 10 million pixels with double the brightness levels on the 200’ x 85’ surface, to create the sharpest, most colorful moving images ever seen on a giant sheet of ice. In addition to the giant video panorama created from six seamlessly edge-blended graphic zones, the show features special effects like image tracking on players as they enter the rink, 3D branding and graphic elements combined with dynamic motion lighting - all made possible by the Barco projectors’ extreme pixel density.
The Centre Bell is the most important sports, cultural and business venue in Montreal. Every year, the home of the Montreal Canadiens attracts more than 1 million spectators to their hockey games, while 650,000 people walk through the doors to watch over 120 shows.
