Operations Centers for XVIII Pan American Games 2019

The Pan American Games is a major multi-sports event in the Americas that is held every four years in summer. In 2019, the event took place in Lima, Peru, attracting thousands of athletes from nations in South and North America. The opening ceremony transpired on July 26 at the National Stadium, where the Games were declared open by the President of Peru Martín Vizcarra. The Pan American Games of 2019 were held at venues in and around Lima, and are the largest sporting event ever hosted by the country, according to the information from Wikipedia.

The games were monitored via several operations centers that kept track of the tournaments and monitored security. The operations process required the display of numerous video feeds on various screens. The video feeds came from different sources, such as IPTV streaming of sports competitions, CCTV feeds to monitor safety and some operational videos for internal purposes. These video streams were displayed in the Main Operation Center (MOC) and TELCO Operation Center on 4 Videowalls, 2 Video Projectors and 5 49” TV’s. The key task of the project was to minimize the response time of both operational centers. All the content had to be managed centrally. The system had to work 24/7 and be easily administered. As the installation was temporary for the period of the games, it was important for the customer to use minimal cabling.
