With a total area of more than 1,440 m2, the LED facade display of the arena at the Berlin East Station (Ostbahnhof) will be one of the biggest outdoor media installations in the world. The facade faces the banks of the Spree River and is located at a square that offers room for the audience. Three big LED screens spaciously placed around the area serve as signage and advertising space. The event hall is part of the 180 hectare urban development area \u201cMediaspree\u201d, which currently is to be transformed into an urban media- and service district. Converted industrial and commercial buildings that are so characteristic of Berlin lie at the banks of the river. The East Side Park is being developed by the district beside the hall \u2013 part of the memorial concept of the Berlin Wall.<\/p>\n\n

LED facade<\/p>\n\n http:\/\/www.o2world.de\/cms\/technische_highlights\/led-fassade.htm<\/a><\/p>\n\n The LED construction grid on the facade of the arena will be equipped with more than 300,000 LED clusters on a 12 m high and approximately 120 m wide section of the semicircular 105\u00b0 glass facade with a total area of more than 1,440 m2. Light pixels, consisting of two groups of 19 LEDs (colour palette: 16.7 million RGB colours) will be attached to the vertical bracing of the facade. The vertical distances are 0.20m and the horizontal distances between the axes are planned to be 0.90m.<\/p>\n\n 2. LED big screens<\/p>\n\n Three big LED screens, so called Marquee Signs, will be placed around the O2 World. The technology for such a large scale is the newest technology available on the market and guarantees optimal quality.<\/p>\n\n Location \/ Model \/ Measurements \/ Pixel Pitch<\/p>\n\n Boat ramp at the banks of the Spree \/ AVL-OD 12 \/ 4.00 x 10.80 m \/ 25 mm<\/p>\n\n Pedestrian bridge at the Warschauer Br\u00fccke \/ AVL-OD 10 \/ 2.88 x 7.68 m \/ 20 mm<\/p>\n\n Arena North side \/ AVL-OD 15 \/ 8.40 x 22.56 m \/ 30 mm<\/p>\n\n Current Use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n A test phase will start on the media facade in the second half of April and continue until the official opening in mid September. The facade and three LED screens can only be provided as advertising space to the partners of the arena and the operators, for example for event notices and can be used as completely video compatible surfaces. At the moment, the first LED screen at the boat ramp on the banks of the Spree is in operation.<\/p>\n\n Model and Motivation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The goal of the investors is to turn the O2 World multifunction arena into a Berlin icon for sport and entertainment highlights in Europe\u2019s most creative hotspot with the help of the display and a special content concept. Another aim is to also achieve acceptance among the local population.<\/p>\n\n \u201cBerlin is one of the most exciting cities in the world. Historically, the city is a symbol of courage, freedom and today an image of the new Europe. Berlin is a cultural metropolis and a city of museums, theatres, sports, film and especially music. You always have your finger on the pulse in Berlin. The O2 World increases the pulse rate. A special project with a clear view of the future.”<\/p>\n\n Die halbrunde Glassfassade der Frontseite der Arena am Ostbahnhof wird mit seinen 300.000 integrierten LED Lichtpunkten eine der weltweit gr\u00f6\u00dften Outdoor-Medieninstallationen sein. Die Fassade ist Richtung Spreeufer orientiert und liegt an einem Vorplatz, der Raum f\u00fcr Publikum bietet. Drei um das Areal weitl\u00e4ufig platzierte LED-Gro\u00dfbildw\u00e4nde fungieren als Leitsystem und Werbefl\u00e4chen. Die Veranstaltungshalle ist Teil des 180 Hektar gro\u00dfen Stadtentwicklungsareal \u201eMediaspree\u201d welches derzeit zu einem gro\u00dfst\u00e4dtisches Medien- und Dienstleistungsviertel transformiert werden soll. An den Ufern liegen charakteristische Berliner umgenutzte Industrie- und Gewerbebauten. Neben der Halle legt der Bezirk den East Side Park an, Teil des Berliner Mauergedenkst\u00e4ttenkonzeptes.<\/p>\n\n http:\/\/ www.o2-world.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n
