Paris Olympics

Absen Pioneering the Future of LED Displays in Sports

The 2024 Paris Olympics is in full swing. This global spectacle of athletic prowess and cultural exchange has captured the attention of millions around the globe. A critical element that enhances the spectator experience at this event, and at many other sports events, is the use of cutting-edge LED display technology. Absen, a leader in LED solutions, is at the forefront of revolutionizing the sports viewing experience with its advanced LED technologies.

In the modern era, the drive for digitalization and informatization in sports venues is stronger than ever. Spectators seek immersive, interactive experiences that engage them fully. High-quality visual content is fundamental to both in-stadium and watching-from-home experiences. Media partners and broadcasters demand superior visuals that can be seamlessly integrated into live coverage and shared across social media. With LED display technology playing a pivotal role in this transformation, Absen has risen to meet these demands with its state-of-the-art LED solutions tailored to the specific needs of the sports industry.

Absen’s Comprehensive LED Solutions for Sports Venues

Sports LED displays are found in both outdoor stadiums and indoor arenas for various types of ball sports, track and field, gymnastics, swimming events, ice-based events, and so on. As a trusted LED supplier, Absen focuses on providing customers with professional integrated sports LED display solutions & control devices that meet the key requirements for stadiums.

Outdoor Sports Application Scenarios

There are multiple applications for outdoor LED displays in stadiums. Aside from the in-venue crowd, the primary focus for most of these displays is for high-definition live broadcasts and more recently virtual broadcasts on products such as pitch-side perimeter displays. Major events and competitions are extremely demanding and need stability and consistency of the display’s performance, which must be foolproof with zero failures.

Indoor Sports Application Scenarios

LED applications for indoor arenas are very similar to those in the outdoor stadium environment with the main differences being in resolution (typically higher in indoor), brightness (typically lower in indoor as no daylight/sunlight) and IP rating (with the exception of swimming pools). From a display performance perspective, Indoor events are as demanding as outdoor, and also require stability and consistency of the display’s performance with zero failures.

Our portfolio highlights large-screen LED displays including perimeter displays, message displays perimeter display entrance and vomitory centrehung、displays coreboards, and ribbon displays. Their leading role is backed by our comprehensive solutions covering video capture and slow motion systems, video signal processing systems, scoring and timing systems, media playback and control systems, environmental control equipment, and management and control room.
