RCD Espanyol, Barcelona’s other football team, has hosted the first game in its 40,000 seater purpose-built stadium. The stadium features two Diamond Vision LED screens and more than 90 Mitsubishi Electric LCD screens.
Installed in opposite corners of the ground, the Diamond Vision ODQ15 screens are 7.68×4.32m, and deliver a resolution of 512 x 218 pixels at 15mm pixel pitch.
Both screens are controlled using Mitsubishi’s XDC-4000 processor which manages all the screen content. The processor accepts DVI, SD-SDI and HD-SDI inputs and has a built-in “picture-in-picture” facility enabling the screens to show more than one video signal simultaneously. 
The Cornellà-El Prat stadium has solar cells built into the roof, which deliver up to 500kW of pollution-free power.
Mitsubishi Electric also supplied the LCD screens used throughout the stadium’s retail and hospitality areas as well as corporate facilities and a museum. A total of 70 Mitsubishi Electric 32in LDT322V displays and 20 42in LDT421V2 units were installed in private boxes, VIP suites and meeting rooms, with additional displays used in the public areas and entrance foyers. The Mitsubishi displays in the meeting room facilities allow them to be used for conferences or presentations on non-match days.
