Solutions
Ideation to realization
Team collaboration off the court Samsung, in collaboration with ISCopy and Tecnovision, created and installed the first of its kind in the world Samsung LED Series IF cubed digital display that had four large screens that were 4.8 x 3.6 meters in size.
The LED wall consisted of 200 cabinets and involved more than 100 people to install the digital display over the course of an entire week. Designers then worked on the individual panels to optimize the color contrast and support the HDR technology to achieve a wide color range and unprecedented images and graphics.
This HDR technology also maximizes the brightness and the fine-tune overall picture presentation thus creating a next-generation viewing experience regardless of the low lighting in the stadium. By creating this unique viewing experience, it gave the team the opportunity to design and create electrifying graphics and animations presented during the game.
The large digital displays also deliver up-to-the-minute highlights and replays of the game that is dynamic and engaging to the crowds. With the ability to perform 24/7 for up to 11 years, the Alma Pallacanestro Trieste do not have to worry about missing one minute of action ever again.
Team collaboration off the court
Samsung also provided the Trieste team a Flip. This is an innovative digital flipchart quickly which allows for more productive and efficient teamwork when working as a group. The team are able to draw diagrams, take notes and quickly interact with one another for game strategy. Immediately begin using the Flip with a simple touch of a pen to touch the screen and it automatically turns on via built-in sensors.
The Flip also allows for a natural flow of collaboration while sharing ideas and strategies for up to four users at a time creating a partnership between the players and the coaches. With natural pen to paper functionality, it is as if they were writing on a traditional blackboard. Another great feature of the Flip is that it is mounted on a wall or to a wheel-based stand, which allows the freedom to move it from the locker room to the sidelines.
