London 2012 Olympic Ceremonies – Video Screens
This paper describes how four ultra-large LED video screens were suspended from the London 2012 Stadium roof in order to enhance the spectator experience in the Stadium and for the TV audience at home during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Ceremonies. Each video screen was 19.2m
wide x 7.68m high and suspended 39m above the ground, which made for an excellent viewing experience for everybody in the stadium.
