Sports, video displays and Samsung this week at Rick is joined by Harry Patz on “Tech of Sports.” Patz is the Sr. Vice-President and GM of the B2B Display Division at Samsung America. Rick caught up with Patz and the Samsung team as Samsung is responsible for all the displays in the new Chase Center in San Francisco. Patz is responsible for sales, customer and product marketing, business development and channel for a wide range of products such as digital signage, hospitality displays, LED signage and integrated display solutions across multiple industries and verticals. It was great to see all the Samsung displays being used all over and around the grounds and inside the Chase Center. First of all, Samsung and the Warriors ventured outside the arena to install the first-ever full outdoor LED display in San Francisco. Fastened to the outer wall of Chase Center’s west entrance, the eye-catching display provides a preview of the technology that is located inside. The superior image quality of Samsung’s 10mm LED video display is clear and vibrant. The displays are built to withstand any weather or environmental elements. Once inside any the arena, there are over 1100 video displays giving directions, information or offering entertainment content.
