Panasonic is the Official Worldwide Olympic Partner in the Audio and Visual Equipment category and has been contributing to the Games with its cutting-edge AV technology for more than a quarter of a century. In Rio 2016, Panasonic signed its partnership with Rio 2016 to become an “Official Ceremony Partner”, providing turn-key visual solutions including full system design, projection mapping and technical operations to the Olympic and Paralympic Games Ceremonies project. Panasonic will supply around 110 units of its high brightness compact 20,000 lumens projectors (PT-DZ21K2), Broadcast Grade 2-M/E Live Switcher (AV-HS6000 Series), and other full line-up visual systems to bring the Ceremonies to a whole new level of entertainment with impressive images to the spectators at Brazil’s iconic Maracana Stadium, and the audiences around the globe to witness the world's greatest Ceremonies in Rio de Janeiro.  

Panasonic will also install its LED video screens and video systems to the Games Competition Venues on the largest scale for any Olympic Games in the company’s history.
