Powering the Matchday Experience at Arsenal Football Club 

Arsenal are driving in-venue productions at the Emirates Stadium with Ross Video’s LED content management system and a suite of control room solutions. 

Last year, Arsenal Football Club began using Ross Video’s XPression Tessera One real-time motion graphics system, Ultrix Carbonite Hyperconverged Production Platform, TouchDrive Control Surface and Mira+ Replay System to drive the in-venue production at Emirates Stadium. 

The combination of Ross Video products enables the Arsenal production team to draw supporters deeper into the match by delivering compelling, visually rich content to its video board displays while improving workflows.  

Arsenal use XPression Tessera One as part of an innovative ecosystem of tools to manage on-screen graphics, plus they have a powerful and dynamic system that can grow along with their production needs. Ross Video’s Rocket Surgery Creative Services have also converted Arsenal’s existing graphics packages and have rebuilt eye-catching graphics with Ross Video’s XPression – the fastest-growing real-time motion graphics platform. 

On supplying Arsenal FC, Kevin Cottam, VP of Sports & Live Events at Ross Video, said, “We’re thrilled that one of the most iconic clubs in world football is working with our Sports & Live Events group to help engage with their supporters on match-days through our LED Content management system and powerful control room products. With a full suite of tools from Ross, Arsenal FC now have a best-in-class match-day production solution to augment the thrilling action on the pitch.” 

In addition to XPression Tessera One, Ross Video’s control room products have improved workflows for the Arsenal FC production teams. Specifically, the all-in-one nature of the Ultrix Carbonite hyperconverged platform eliminates the need to purchase separate items for a variety of essential procedures such as signal processing, multi-channel viewing, audio connectivity, video switching, and embedding/de-embedding. This, combined with the intuitive TouchDrive and Mira+ Replay control surfaces ensures that the production team at Arsenal FC has complete control of their match-day production.   

“Ross technology has enabled us to make the most of our LED jumbo screens at The Emirates. This means fans can enjoy an even better match day experience, get a deeper connection with the club, and feel even closer to the action, as well as improving accessibility through the integration of BSL. The problem-solving technology Ross offers, coupled with great in-house knowledge and a can-do attitude, makes us glad to have Ross products embedded at the Emirates,” said Aliki Rodgers, Senior Media Services Manager.
