arena design considerations
As the game races across the playing surface, spectators follow the
action while broadcast directors switch camera angles and view
points for the home viewing audience. Providing effective
lighting for such dynamic, fast paced action need not be as
challenging as the game itself. That’s why Sterner has created a I T ’S E A S Y T O M E E T A R E N A D E S I G N

Motorized Shade patent pending
F E AT U R E S A N D B E N E F I T S
Lighting systems in many arenas today require 15–20 minutes to
achieve full output after they are turned off. Sterner’s motorized
shade provides “instant on-off ” capabilities without the hassles
and cost associated with an instant re-strike system. It is perfect
to use when “theatrical blackout” scenarios are required for
player introductions and half time shows.
