SPORT SYSTEM TO RAPPERSWIL-JONA LAKERS – ST. GALLER KANTONALBANK ARENA

Rapperswil-Jona Lakers i Switzerland has decided to invest in a top-modern media system from iCast. The investment comprises a new media cube in our unique seamless design, a digital scoreboard, TV-studio and control system for media management with accompanying graphical match effects.

Media Cube
The Media Cube as such will be the first of its kind in the National League in Switzerland and will lift the overall experience significantly compared to traditional media cubes. Higher resolution, larger display area and visible effects in 360-degrees are some of the features the audience will experience. Furthermore, Rapperswil-Jona Lakers invested in a new TV studio to enhance the experience for the audience even more. The control system is completely Mac-based and fully scalable for future expansions.

The design and excellent picture quality together with the easy operation of the media cube will play a significant role in the overall experience. The goal is to enhance the audience experience and make it extraordinary.

“We are pleased to replace the existing cube after more than 12 years and improve the experience for our viewers with state-of-the-art technology. This will also create an extremely attractive platform for sponsors and partners. The concept of a 360 degree cube has convinced us in its effect”, says Markus Bütler, CEO SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers.
