KOJO Sport's design for light/sound games experience at Adelaide Oval leads to wider national exposure
KOJO Sport's light and sound game-day experience for Adelaide Oval led to a contract for the same at Perth's new Optus Stadium.
KOJO Sport, part of KOJO Group, has added to a national reputation by designing global best-practice experiences for fans at Adelaide Oval.
With a major software and hardware upgrade, KOJO Sport installed the latest in light and sound to ensure Adelaide Oval had most advanced broadcast technology in Australia. This in turn backed KOJO’s creative content, video and multimedia support for its clients at the venue.
KOJO Group came from an Adelaide-based production company set up by TV cinemaphotographer and film producer Kent Smith, in 1984. It expanded to the KOJO Group in 1991 with creative partners John Chataway, Dale Roberts, Marty Pepper and, in 2002, Steve Wise.
The KOJO Sport division’s work with Adelaide Oval Stadium Management Authority included delivering and managing LED colour sports lights globes across the oval’s roofline that can pulse on and off with audio. LED ribbon boards also encircled the ground and upper levels of the stadium and new audio/visual production equipment merges all elements to fully synchronise all screens, music and light shows during events. KOJO worked with Ross Video to install an XPression Tessera providing real-time graphics products and workflow tools.
KOJO Sport’s game day experiences at Adelaide Oval led to its being engaged for in-house sports presentation and game day production partner at Perth’s new Optus Stadium.
KOJO Sport had another coup when it was appointed by Cricket Australia as its national creative stadium content partner for the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 KFC Big Bash and Rebel Women’s Big Bash cricket leagues. This followed a previous one-year contract delivering more than 250 creative assets, displayed on vision screens and LED perimeter displays across all Australian BBL and WBBL venues. KOJO Sport used an innovative mix of choreographed content across lighting, live performance, vision, LED screens and audio.
