Bayer 04 use innovative technology on LED perimeter screens

Bayer 04 Leverkusen is the first Bundesliga club to receive specific permission from the German Football League (DFL) for the use of parallel ads technology from the provider TGI Sport in the 2023/24 season. This enables the current Bundesliga league leaders to show different advertising partners on the LED printer screens at the BayArena on national and international TV. For the alternative products of virtual advertising, the TV cameras take different images of the LED perimeter screens at defined intervals.

"The parallel ads technology enables us to show specific advertising as part of our internationalisation strategy and overseas marketing in target international markets. On the one hand, that could be a partner who wants to be active in those target markets. On the other, the system can also be used to promote international club activities," explained Markus Breglec, Chief Marketing & Innovation Officer at Bayer 04.

In the future there will be an international feed with parallel advertising in addition to the existing feed for the DACH target region. Bayer 04 has already gained the first partner for broadcasting advertising messages in international target markets.

TV cameras use image frequency

The parallel ads technology from the provider TGI Sport works with image frequencies used in TV production. At defined intervals, the TV cameras record different images from the LED perimeter screens at the BayArena.

While the spectators at the stadium and the TV viewers at home in the DACH countries will not notice any difference, the image from the LED perimeter screens can be used for international viewers through the new technology in international broadcasting signals.

In 2019, Bayer 04 installed the LED perimeter screens at the BayArena so that they could potentially be used for the innovative parallel ads technology. Thanks to this new system, a very high quality of advertising is possible as the adjusted image is not virtually laid over the original but is directly played on the LED perimeter screens.

Werkself miss out on first win after 3-3 draw at Werder Bremen

Bayer 04 are still without a win in the Bundesliga after two games following a 3-3 draw away at Werder Bremen. Leverkusen had gone 2-0 up through Patrik Schick and Malik Tillman, before Romano Schmid’s penalty prior to half-time. Schick’s own spot-kick restored the two-goal advantage in the second half as Werder were reduced to 10 men, but Isaac Schmidt got the hosts back into it again before Karim Coulibaly’s added-time equaliser.
