Through cooperation with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), the Olympic Organizing Committee for the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games (RIO 2016), and the Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS), Panasonic supplies its state-of-art visual equipment to the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, Competition Venues and broadcasting locations.

Panasonic has been contributing to the Games with its cutting-edge AV technology for more than a quarter of a century. In Rio 2016, Panasonic signed its partnership with the organizer to become an “Official Ceremony Partner” to provide a turn-key visual solution from system design to projection mapping operation in the Olympic and Paralympic Games Ceremonies project. Panasonic will supply around 110 units of its high brightness compact 20,000 lumens projectors (PT-DZ21K2), Broadcast Grade 2-M/E Live Switcher (AV-HS6000 Series), and other full line-up visual systems to bring the Ceremonies to a whole new level of entertainment with impressive images to the spectators at Brazil’s iconic Maracana Stadium, and the audiences around the globe to witness the world’s greatest Ceremonies in Rio de Janeiro.

Panasonic will also install its LED video screens and video systems to the Competition Venues on the largest scale for any Olympic Games in the company’s history. The requirements of video screens are constantly growing at the Olympic Games, and such screens are an indispensable part of stadium visuals, to show gigantic Game’s images by multifunctional digital video switching.

Together with its display panels and AV systems, Panasonic will also deliver turn-key solutions to add excitement to the competition sports presentation for the spectators, and to help judges with its video adjudication AV systems for the first time.
