Another headliner to add to its extensive list of high profile sporting events. As the demand for screens for use in public arenas was so high, Supervision ordered 2 digiLED d11N screens to add to its LED tour inventory.

The team had just 57 days to design, manufacture and deliver the screens in time for the first game of the tournament.The two giant 49.52m2 digiLED d11N screens were installed in the Fan Zones at Basel’s Kasernenplatz and Münsterplatz. The Kasernenplatz screen was built into a structure positioned at the side of a stage, whilst the one in Münsterplatz was centre hung above the stage. Each day’s programme started at 1.30pm, with live entertainment, bands and promotional sponsor videos being shown on the screens. DJs revved up the crowds before the football started and then kept the fans entertained during and after the matches. The Supervision team used the digiPRO HD processors to resize and optimise the content for the screens. The screens are the first digiLED products that Supervision have purchased and they started working immediately they were delivered to the venues, so on-site training was conducted by digiLED technicians who were also available for technical support and advice throughout the Championships.The high resolution digiLED d11N screens each measured an impressive 49.25m2, 9.328m high x 5.28m wide.
