A $430,000 video cube now hangs above the Silverdome floor, the latest piece of a $12 million upgrade at the Launceston venue.
The centre-hung system features high-definition LED screens visible from every part of the arena.
It will show live vision, instant replays, event information, scoring and sponsor content.
Sport Minister Nick Duigan said the cube would change the experience for spectators, athletes and event organisers.
“The new video cube, positioned above the new sports floor, delivers a world-class digital experience and establishes the Silverdome as the premier indoor venue in Tasmania’s North,” Duigan said.
“The video cube is an iconic feature of contemporary arenas around the world and will dramatically enhance the atmosphere and presentation of events at the Silverdome.”
The cube was designed, sourced and installed by Launceston audiovisual company RoundTable Studio.
Stadiums Tasmania Chief Operating Officer David Large said the technology brings fans closer to the action.
“The Silverdome redevelopment is about more than upgrading facilities,” Large said.
“It’s about creating a venue that can deliver exceptional experiences, attract new opportunities to Tasmania and serve its community for decades to come.”
Large said Tasmanian JackJumpers fans used to MyState Bank Arena would find a similar experience in the north.
The cube will get its first outing at the Island Stampede rodeo on October 2.
It will be in use for the JackJumpers from their first home game in late October, then for the Tasmania Jewels.
Large said the wider redevelopment has around three and a half to four weeks left to run, with work continuing on the function room and bar areas.
Other upgrades include a new concrete slab, general access bars, a kitchen, a corporate function room, elite change rooms and a resanded and repainted velodrome.
RoundTable Studio director James Calvert said his team handled the project from start to finish.
Calvert said the install took nearly two weeks, with about a week of rigging and a week of LED work.
A core crew of three grew to around six people across the job.
“Every job has its challenges, but we were able to deliver a solution that we’re very proud of,” he said.
