“Queríamos honrar a las víctimas, a los supervivientes y a los servicios de emergencia. De pronto, los meses de planificación con los que habíamos contado quedaban reducidos a días. Para decidir qué tendría más sentido escuchamos a la población local. Era un tributo a la ciudad y un recuerdo a lo sucedido, en el que se brindaba a Las Vegas la ocasión de hacer un duelo colectivo y, after, spend a few hours off feeling in a more positive place", Jonny Greco account, Vice President of Events and Entertainment, Vegas Golden Knights.

Golden Knights commissioned Image Engineering to fully manage the match presentation, including AV integration. "We meticulously designed an installation plan that would work in the T-Mobile Arena. They are used to holding big concerts and hosting shows that come and go.", explains Ian Bottiglieri, Director of Project Management at Image Engineering.

the 12 projectors were placed in 'capsules' of two, near each of the face-off circles, of the blue lines and the central circle, on both sides of the field. Image Engineering turned to Christie Mystique to align projectors, saving with it, themselves and the Golden Knights, of the 8 to 10 hours needed to realign projectors after a concert or any other type of event.

"Mystique was fantastic, and it took between four and five hours to install it and put it to work the first time. After that, no need to think about alignment anymore, because all that was needed was to reserve a period of 15 minutes to put the whole system into operation and leave everything realigned and with impeccable warping and blending", explains Bottiglieri.

The Pandoras Box Quad Player was integrated with the daktronics system timecode activators, driving content synchronously. According to Bottiglieri, "the Golden Knights technical team learns at full speed what Pandoras Box can do and continues to break down barriers by trying out increasingly cool and creative things".
