The six-day Beach Volleyball Grand Slam at the W?rthersee Austria ended last Sunday. Medien Werkzeuge, the provider of LED Screens throughout Europe, has been a fixed starter at this event for the last six years. In 2010, Medien Werkzeuge put up four video walls and one LED board in and around the stadium. The materials used were cutting edge: digitTILE 12 with SMD technology.

Live on Four Video Walls - That's the waywe like it*
Medien Werkzeuge provided four LED video walls and one LED board, making it the sharpest** supplier of technological equipment at the Beach Volleyball Grand Slam in Klagenfurt on the shores of W?rthersee Austria where sport mingles casually with that beach feeling and party atmosphere every year. Two video walls allowed for better views and insights inside the stadium, while one video wall was put up in the adjacent lido and another at the nearby camp site. Thus, everybody who wanted to be there could be, even though the 8,000 seat stadium was full by 9 a.m. as is traditional and had to close its gates to further spectators.
Six Years of Increasing Cooperation
Medien Werkzeuge has been an integral part of this Grand Slam tournament for six years. Just as the sport event keeps growing from year to year, the volume of projects expands continually with it. The mix of perfect organization and unique atmosphere is what makes this event so special. This is made possible with the help of partners such as Medien Werkzeuge. For the first time, we have set up a beach camp where we installed a video wall this year. Also new: the LED board near the entrance to the centre court, providing up-to-date information, said the red-white-red organisation team Jagerhofer/Lischka***, revealing the video wall news for 2010.
Being on the Ball with SMD Technology
We have used our latest materials for the Beach Volleyball Grand Slam: the digiTILE T12 System with SMD technology is the best there is at the moment! said Christian Wymetal, founder and Managing Director of Medien Werkzeuge. The 6.40 x 3.60 metre centre court and 4.80 x 2.70 metre lido and beach camp format video walls had been assembled within two days and then tested and fine-tuned before the event started. As a result, the entire Grand Slam tournament shone on the screens as it should from Tuesday, 27th July to Sunday, 1st August.
The weather did not bother the digiTILE T12 material at all, although it may have affected the spectators in the arena and the lido. The system offers high-resolution, homogenous and true-colour pictures in all light conditions, from every viewing angle and even in close-up situations which seem to be part of beach volleyball The digiTILE T12 video wall modules also score with light weight and low energy consumption.
