The Grand Opening of the 9th Asian Winter Games

On February 7th, the 9th Asian Winter Games officially commenced at the Harbin International Convention and Exhibition Center. After a 29-year hiatus, Harbin once again welcomed this prestigious event, showcasing its deep connection with winter sports.

The opening ceremony, creatively directed by Fengshang Culture, featured Sha Xiaolan as the chief director and Wu Yan as the chief producer. Themed “Shared Dream in Ice and Snow, United Asia,” the event used an advanced multimedia stage to narrate the journey of Asian athletes pursuing their winter sports dreams.

The stage design incorporated cutting-edge technologies, including 8K ultra-high-definition “long-format vertical screens,” naked-eye 3D “panoramic floor screens,” and a dynamic “snowflake palace ceiling.” These innovations, combined with AR immersive visual effects, delivered an unparalleled viewing experience and a multi-dimensional visual spectacle.

High-Performance LED Displays Elevate the Spectacle

The main stage utilized a 4,000㎡ DN series LED display from Gloishine, with core display components supplied by SINYOPTO. Equipped with nearly 260 million LED lamp beads, the display significantly enhanced image details and visual impact. Novastar provided a full-stack video control solution, ensuring a seamless and dynamic visual presentation. Meanwhile, Chipfountain supplied high-performance driver ICs, guaranteeing stable and high-quality playback. Kommander Technology was responsible for full-scene broadcasting support, ensuring smooth execution throughout the event.

Gloishine’s DN series LED displays excelled with high refresh rates, superior grayscale, and outstanding contrast, delivering ultra-smooth and lifelike visuals. Even during fast-paced sports like speed skating and skiing, the screens maintained seamless motion clarity and accurate color reproduction exceeding 95%.

SINYOPTO’s SY-ADB2020-B display components featured full-black materials and advanced encapsulation techniques, significantly enhancing detail reproduction and contrast. The >170° wide viewing angle ensured that every spectator in the venue enjoyed a uniform visual experience. With anti-reflection, anti-oxidation, anti-corrosion, and moisture-resistant properties, the screens remained highly stable in extreme cold conditions, performing flawlessly throughout the event.

Advanced Video Processing & Control Solutions

Novastar’s ultra-HD full-stack video control solution incorporated seamless backup systems, fiber-optic transmission, and innovative display control technologies. These solutions provided real-time video processing for massive stage screens, floor screens, and ice lantern displays, delivering uninterrupted, high-quality visuals.

The C5Pro console, D32 video switcher, and K16 video controller enabled 4K signal processing, professional-grade video scaling, and intuitive real-time control. The H2 video splicer ensured precise display coordination, bringing ice lantern visuals to life. Meanwhile, 19,000 A-series receiving cards embedded with Novastar’s proprietary image algorithms powered a 6,000㎡ 16K LED display, creating an unparalleled immersive visual experience.

Chipfountain’s Next-Gen LED Driver ICs

The main LED screen was powered by Chipfountain’s CFD555 driver IC, featuring:

DLL & PLL frequency doubling technology, achieving 240Hz refresh rates at 32-scan mode.
16-bit grayscale & 7680Hz refresh rates, minimizing scan line interference for professional broadcast-quality visuals.
Low-gray anti-flicker algorithms, ensuring smooth and stable low-brightness performance.
Advanced contrast enhancement, grayscale compensation, and precision linear current gain, delivering high-fidelity color reproduction.
Energy-efficient design with low power consumption and minimal heat generation, reducing color distortion issues like “blue shift on white screens.”

For the interactive floor LED displays, Chipfountain’s CFD455 driver IC provided superior refresh rate enhancements, patented DLL circuitry, and advanced scanning technologies, pushing the industry towards the ultra-high refresh era.

A Stunning LED Showcase at the Closing Ceremony

On February 14, the Asian Winter Games closing ceremony once again highlighted the incredible capabilities of LED display technology. A 6,000㎡ ultra-16K LED screen, synchronized with vertical screens, created an immersive visual experience, setting new technical standards for large-scale events.

Novastar’s full-stack video control system played a crucial role, integrating 4K video processing, real-time scaling, fiber-optic transmission, and seamless backup technology to ensure zero-latency, flicker-free ultra-HD visuals.
