NFL MIAMI DOLPHINS STADIUM
Company: Christie Location: Miami, USA
In the USA Christie has had an important role in the technological development of the NFL Miami Dolphins stadium experience with a visually-striking Christie MicroTiles display wall that blends interactivity, texting polls, live video feeds and corporate sponsor branding. The first of its kind in a professional sports environ- ment, Miami Dolphins fans were literally able to get their hands on a unique, inter- active-multi-media display, featuring Christie MicroTiles. The Dolphins Interactive Wall combines an irregular cluster of 41 Christie MicroTiles modular display tiles, live and packaged video feeds, touch sensors, text messaging applications and large format print graphics installed as a wide, seven-ft high video display wall that fans can watch and use. It is a customised version of The BuzzWall, developed by Christie and Montreal-based Arsenal Media, a world leader in digital media for unique applications. Users can even have fun wiping away virtual sea bubbles embedded with sponsor logos while dolphins swim in a virtual tank created by the Christie MicroTiles’ virtually seamless display blocks. Denys Lavigne, President of Arsenal Media commented: “The wall shows what’s really possible with digital signage - an application that’s completely targeted to the space, and its business and revenue opportunities. This is not something people just happen to notice and watch. It’s more intimate. The wall creates a relationship and a buzz that works for the fans, the team and its corporate sponsors.”

AMERICAN EXPRESS COMMUNITY STADIUM
Company: Community Location: Brighton & Hove, UK
VCP Services has recently completed the installation of the PA / VA system for the new tier and corner seating areas of Brighton & Hove’s American Express Community Stadium, often referred to as the Amex. Situated just north of the city of Brighton, in the rolling hills of the South Downs - which inspired its design - the award-winning stadium is a world-class venue that opened in 2011 with a 22,500- seat capacity. The original design of the stadium allowed for an easy capacity increase to 30,000 seats and, a month after its opening, the club started planning its first expansion. The club received planning permission in April 2012 for an extra 5,000 seats, which have been created by the construction of a second tier for the east stand and utilising the corners of the south stand. Using a combination of Ateis, Community and Penton equipment, the original BS 5839 compliant system installed by VCP services covers 38 zones inside and outside the stadium. After comprehensive design and evaluation, over 70 Community R-Series were used for the main bowl, which is divided into four zones covering the three-tier west stand, and each of the single-tier east, north and south stands. “With the original Community loudspeakers proving a great success in fully meeting the dB levels and STI requirements, whilst delivering a high quality entertainment system, we continued the format for the new east stand tier system,” said VCP Managing Director, Vince Clamp. “Five R2-694’s were used for direct coverage of the new tier seating and an additional 15 compact R.25-94TZ loudspeakers were added under the balcony created by the addition of the second tier. In addition to the east stand tier, the two corners of the south stand which had previously been left open were filled in with tiered seating and each of these has been covered by an R2-77,” continued Vince. “The new areas have been incorporated into the original system and the loudspeakers are again driven by Ateis SPA amplifiers with the LAP network audio processors providing control and DSP. As with the design and build of the new areas, the integration of the expanded sound system is seam- less.” The club plans to add an additional 3,000 seats in this year to bring capacity to 30,500 seats.
