World Table Tennis Championships Captured on Lighthouse Technologies Screens

Lighthouse Innovation Serves up the Action at the
2005 World Table Tennis Championships

HONG KONG, May 5 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- An example of how the sporting world is benefiting from the very latest in LED video screen technology is on display this week at the 48th World Table Tennis Championships which are being held from 30 April to 5 May, 2005 in Shanghai.

At such a prestigious event as the world championships, event organizer, the Chinese Table Tennis Federation under the auspices of the International Table Tennis Federation, is faced with the challenge of relaying live images and instant replays to table tennis enthusiasts and fans. With more than 140 national and regional table tennis associations and thousands of spectators anxiously tracking the action, there is a strong onus for real time, reliable delivery of video footage on high resolution screens.

The solution adopted for the 48th World Table Tennis Championships for the display of spectacular real-time images direct to spectators is based on the Lighthouse Technologies R16 high picture quality, 16mm pixel pitch, LED video screen. In total, Lighthouse is supplying over 168 of the R16 panels which also constituted the backdrop for the championship's opening ceremony hosted at the Shanghai Oriental Mingzhu TV Tower on April 30.

Offering the best in high image quality, the Lighthouse Technologies R16 screen with its high brightness, wide viewing angles and stunning picture quality is well suited to large-scale sporting venues and advertising displays. For the World Table Tennis Championships, Lighthouse has teamed up with local rental partner Join Merit Media Holdings Limited to provide and install the screens.
