NBC Sports has selected Planar to provide LED video walls for its production of the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics and Paralympics, Feb. 6-22, and March 6-15, respectively.
NBC Sports utilized Planar to deliver leading-edge fine pixel pitch LED video wall technology for its production of the 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics. Planar® DirectLight® Pro Series LED video walls in a 1.2 millimeter pixel pitch covered architectural archways and windows within Studio A and Studio B in Milan helping NBC Sports route the excitement in Italy back to viewers watching coverage of the Games in the United States.
“The Winter Olympics are one of the most visually stunning events in the world, and Planar’s LED video walls helped us capture that beauty in full detail,” said Atila Ozkaplan, VP of Production Operations, Olympics. “From our Milan studios, we were able to immerse viewers in the energy of the Games, elevating our storytelling through the vibrant imagery created by our talented graphics artists.”
Planar has worked with NBC Sports since 2016, assisting production efforts at previous Olympics and other major international sports events in North America, South America, Europe and Asia.
