Samsung announced that its outdoor LED products were exclusively used to build SoFi Stadium’s 70,000 square-foot (6503 square meters) dual-sided center-hung videoboard and five levels of fascia display which will be used to elevate the fan experience to unparalleled heights.
The state-of-the-art videoboard not only features the most LEDs ever used in a sports or entertainment venue, but also has the first and only 4K end-to-end video production in a stadium. The videoboard used nearly 80 million pixels, achieving the largest LED content playback system ever deployed. Each panel can be uniquely or congruently programmed with statistics, live and/or animated content.

Built up with different sizes of video panels, the 70,000 square-foot videoboard is designed to serve spectators in every seat, from the sideline to the upper deck. Fans sitting in the lower bowl of the stadium will view the inside of the videoboard as it sits directly across from their line of view, while guests in the upper bowl will view the outer panels of the videoboard.
JBL audio system was embedded with the videoboard, accounting for half a million of the 1.3 million watts of Crown Audio amplification in the venue.
“As sports and concerts begin to come back, stadiums need to deliver a new kind of experience to their guests every time they step into the venue that provides customers with safety information and overall peace of mind,” said Brett Unzicker, Vice President, LEES, Display Division, Samsung Electronics America. “At Samsung, we understand how using the latest technology in digital signage can help partners like Hollywood Park not only elevate the overall fan experience, but also ensure that safety is top of mind to all.”
LEDinside research division of TrendForce forecasted that national government across the world are likely to increase public infrastructure spending to stimulate economy and market demand for LED video walls including outdoor displays may rump up later in 2020.
