EHC Red Bull München: Video cube now lights up the SAP Garden

Wednesday, 07. August 2024 | EHC Red Bull München: Video cube now lights up the SAP Garden

Shining centrepiece: video cube now lights up the SAP Garden// NEWSA real eye-catcher now shines above the main playing surface of our new home. The largest LED video cube in ice hockey Germany is a technical masterpiece that will be a source of much joy in the future.

Last week, Nico Krämmer was given a special honour. Our number 21 was allowed to press the red buzzer in the SAP Garden and thus officially put the LED video cube of the multifunctional sports arena into operation. When the cube with a total projection area of 209 square metres flooded the interior with the light of its 41 million built-in LEDs for the first time, it quickly became clear that the centrepiece of the arena is more than just befitting its status.

"Fans have something to look forward to"

"We had high expectations and wild ideas," says Oliver Wesp, Managing Director of SAP Garden, about the 16-tonne colossus. These were realised by media technology partner SONOVTS. Each of the four sides of the cube measures 9.5 x 5.5 metres and enables a continuous 360-degree display. Wesp: "The fans can look forward to something they have never seen before in Europe."

Despite its enormous dimensions, the LED video cube offers an exceptionally high resolution. This is guaranteed by a pixel pitch of 3.9 millimetres and a brightness of 3500 candela per square metre. For comparison: a modern smart TV has a brightness of approx. 500 candela per square metre. Razor-sharp image - perfectly visible from every single seat in the SAP Garden.

Fasciaboard and TV screens take SAP Garden to a new level of technology

In addition to the video cube, the main playing area also has a 263 metre-long Fasciaboard. This ultra-modern information platform informs spectators in the SAP Garden about the action on the pitch with animations and videos as well as images and text. And in the highest resolution. In addition, there are over 500 TV screens throughout the sports arena, all of which can be customised.

The state-of-the-art technology in the SAP Garden takes the experience of watching our Red Bulls' home games to a whole new level. A level that, looking back at the Olympic Ice Stadium, has long been almost unimaginable - but can now be experienced.
