Revolutionary Baseball Stadium
Es Con Field Hokkaido opened its doors in March 2023 as a state-of-the-art ballpark equipped with two of the world's largest screens integrated with the KAIROS video production system to enthrall fans with stunning video, lighting and sound. Built in Japan for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters baseball team, the movable-dome stadium's concourse encircles the interior to offer views of the field from anywhere. This is also the world's first ballpark where people can view games from an on-site hotel or even from hot springs and saunas!

Highly Advanced Entertainment System
To take full advantage of massive 86-meter wide screens, content had to be created that was not limited to 16:9. The choice was obvious: Panasonic's KAIROS IT/IP platform was adopted to enable video with diverse aspect ratios and resolutions to be intuitively layered. What's more, approx. 600
digital-signage displays were installed in the ballpark for immersive real-time viewing experiences throughout the stadium.
