United States : Sony Delivers Full A/V System Solution for 49ers and New Levi s Stadium [TendersInfo (India)]


(TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) The San Francisco 49ers kicked off the 2014 NFL season in its new home, Levi s® Stadium, with fans treated to a high-tech, high definition and networked game-day experience.

Levi s Stadium is the latest and one of the largest high-profile sports projects for Sony Electronics System Solutions team. Sony led the design and installation of the stadium s entire video production system, which includes large-scale LED displays, and a specialized replay room. The Sony professional equipment in the Santa Clara, Calif., stadium includes six F55 4K cameras for game capture, the MVS-7000 series production switcher and more than 2,200 LCD displays in sizes ranging from 40 inches in HD resolution to 85 inches in 4K.



The stadium s opening is the next step in Sony s partnership with the San Francisco 49ers, announced in December 2012 and covering a range of Sony professional and consumer products used throughout the stadium.

Sony s experience in professional products, consumer electronics, and entertainment will make the 49ers Hall of Fame and Levi s® Stadium must stop destinations for fans and guests of all ages, said 49ers Chief Executive Officer Jed York.


Sony technology also drives the fan experience in the 49ers Museum, which uses Sony 84-inch 4K BRAVIA LCD displays, a professional 4K projector (SRX-T420), and Sony s 3LCD laser light source business projectors (model VPL-FHZ55).

Our organization is really excited over the potential of this tremendous collaboration with Sony, said Robert Alberino, Jr., Vice President and Executive Producer for the San Francisco 49ers. The key for us was to do some pretty fabulous things here in San Francisco, things that other professional teams are not doing. We set out to accomplish a huge task: producing and directing not only the stadium show, but all our social media content, our website content and our full game-day broadcasts all at the same high level of quality with the same gear.

Sony s System Solutions group managed the integration of the Replay Control Room system, BRAVIA LCD displays, and Daktronics LED displays and show control systems. Throughout the Levi s Stadium project, Sony Electronics worked closely with WJHW for consulting and design services, and with Diversified Systems (DSI) as the system integrator.

A unique feature of the 49ers new A/V system installation is the team s ability to shoot game footage and deliver it live or via replay servers to the two large-scale LED displays or mobile devices almost instantaneously. Another project component feature is the stadium s readiness to adopt 4K production. The replay control room system includes six Sony F55 4K live camera chains, which feed the Sony MVS-7000 production switcher and Evertz Dream Catcher replay server.
