Transforming indoor football with immersive visuals and elite sound.
Suspended 6 metres above the artificial turf, a 9-panel Phillips Video Wall, mounted on a custom Vogel’s structure, commands attention at Elite Football. This video wall streams live sports content from Foxtel’s beIN Sports and Optus’ Fetch, creating an immersive experience for spectators.
Encircling each pitch, 20 metres of Vuepix LED Advertising Signage, divided into five 4-metre boards, replicate the look and feel of outdoor stadium ads. Powered by BrightSign Media Players, this digital solution allows for dynamic advertising, with Vision One providing in-house design, animation and content management.
Adding to the atmosphere, four Audac Spherical Hanging Sound Projector Speakers, styled to resemble soccer balls, play recorded sounds of European football crowds. This audio experience is controlled via an Audac 4-zone Paging Microphone, intensifying the excitement on the field.
Elevating match control and atmosphere across the facility.
For scorekeeping, four indoor LG 75” Display Panels and one outdoor VuePix LED display were installed in front of each pitch. Referees use Kramer VIA GO Wireless Presentation Devices to stream live match statistics from mobile devices directly to the scoreboards, offering on-the-fly scoring updates.
Additional 65” LG Semi-commercial Displays were placed in the bar, reception, gym and meeting rooms, each supported by Audac Speakers and subwoofers. The gym features an Audac FESTA system with eight surface-mounted ATEO speakers and a subwoofer, enhancing the training atmosphere. Meanwhile, meeting rooms were equipped with InDesign Soundbars for a premium audio experience.
Bringing stadium-level flexibility to every corner.
An Audac M2 DSP Audio Matrix, CAP448 Amplifier, ceiling-mounted speakers in the change rooms and custom wall panels completed the audio setup, ensuring seamless audio distribution throughout the facility. Visual control was powered by Wyrestorm’s Video over IP solution, using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface via iPad. This system allows users to send any input to any output, maximising flexibility across different areas, including scoreboards and common spaces.
All equipment was housed in an Australian Monitor 45RU Floor Standing Rack, and three BrightSign HD1023 players ensured seamless digital signage content playback. Together, this combination of video walls, LED advertising, scoreboards and an advanced audio-visual control system delivers a stadium-like experience, bringing the intensity of outdoor football into Elite Football’s indoor facility.
