HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

The display infrastructure centered around a high-resolution canvas environment. A 260-inch 4K LED backdrop served as the main presentation surface, complemented by an 8K backdrop simulator configured with a 1.2 mm pitch Chip-on-Board (COB) LED. A central 4K canvas utilized a 0.9 mm dot pitch display, while a simulated draft room environment featured a 135-inch 1080p LED display with a 1.5 mm pitch, showing how different pixel configurations serve specific viewing distances.
Behind the screens, the system processing rack consolidated hardware from multiple AV manufacturers. Control and processing were managed through a Legrand rack housing NovaStar LED controllers, a dedicated PC running digital twin simulation software, backend processing systems, and a Crestron control platform. These components managed the real-time routing of graphics, coordinate display layouts, and interface with the broader arena audio and lighting networks.
For live production and broadcast switching, the booth integrated a full production suite featuring Grass Valley systems. The setup demonstrated multi-feed routing, real-time score overlays, and graphics rendering using Grass Valley production switchers. The broadcast infrastructure was synchronized with Chauvet Professional lighting fixtures and L-Acoustics audio systems to simulate live stadium event triggers and jackpot celebrations.
Additionally, a dedicated podcast and recording environment was simulated within the space. This production station utilized Shure audio microphone systems, Chauvet lighting, and RED digital cameras to achieve broadcast-quality recording. A Grass Valley box camera equipped with a Fujinon lens was also deployed, illustrating the range of camera integration options supported within the system architecture.
