Leverage the CALICO PRO LED video processor for stadiums

Nowadays, LED is one of the most popular options for creating impactful videowalls in stadiums. The lower cost and long operation time make LED a highly desirable offering. Large-scale LED displays can turn the experience of setting foot in an arena and making your way through the space inside into a mesmerising display.

LED walls must push visual limits to make a lasting impression on spectators. In line with a first-class LED upgrade, the audio-visual backbone of the LED ecosystem must scale up to deliver the organisation’s visual goals and seamlessly manage any technical roadblocks.

Key benefits for stadiums

Between security, concessions and the actual event, there are plenty of opportunities to wow visitors and keep them coming back to these venues. LED serves multiple purposes beyond entertainment, such as informing guests through wayfinding, extending footfall time and increasing revenue opportunities.

CALICO PRO matches stadium applications by supporting complicated LED display setups of any size, setting your offerings apart from competitors with industry-leading video processing technology.

Versatile configurations

CALICO PRO is the perfect solution for live events. The out-of-box operation comes with eight in, four out 4K60 configuration as standard. Additional input and output modules can be added in-house for custom shows. Plus, end users can create and save standard setup configurations for repeat projects.

Optimised for large LED canvases

CALICO PRO’s core hardware represents a significant leap forward, using brand-new video processing technology. This videowall processor boasts an ultra-powerful design, capable of delivering hundreds of video layers across four huge, real-world design canvases. A single CALICO PRO canvas can deliver a Direct View LED solution up to 64,000 pixels wide and up to 64,000 high across multiple outputs, perfect for huge arena LED ribbons.

Multiple inputs and outputs

Delivering high-quality content to any source is no problem with CALICO PRO. This new offering has HDMI 2.0 inputs and outputs with optional modularity for IP streams, broadcast and discrete audio. Native resolutions come as standard, ensuring long-lasting compatibility.
