Mitsubishi flying high

The London leg of the championship took place in August over the Thames at Greenwich; the 02 arena and Canary Wharf  providing the backdrop for a dual between the  world’s top race pilots. Mitsubishi Electric provided a total of five ODQ10 10mm screens – a single 43m2 system and four 25m2 screens  – around the public and hospitality areas of the course.  

‘We’ve provided screens for the Red Bull Air Race World Championship for a number of years. Each of the venues is very different and each one presents us with logistical challenges. In Abu Dhabi, for example, the screens are floated into the harbour on barges; in Budapest, we suspend them over the river on giant cranes. The crew have to be quite adaptable, but we have a big advantage in that the Diamond Vision system is very versatile  and can be assembled into different configurations very easily,’ said Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision‘s MD, Steve Halliday.
