Kramer holds court with basketball arena upgrade
Kramer AVoIP technology was selected for the IKH Areena, a multipurpose sports venue that is home to the Finnish town of Kauhajoki’s professional basketball team, Karhubasket.

Ville Nurminen, AV technical manager for Karhubasket, decided on Kramer to share AV content from multiple sources across the venue that comprises three restaurants, a lobby, six VIP sections, one large conference room, a team gymnasium, dressing rooms and the court on which the team play.

Fifty KDS-7 encoders and decoders, and Kramer Control with SL-240C and KT-1010 touch panels were integrated into a system that includes speakers, amplifiers and screens. Two ipads running Kramer software were also provided for additional control options.

Content around the Areena can switch to multiple sources including game information and highlights, crowd engagement messages and advertising.
