A historical sporting event for Montreal

For the first time in its history, Montreal welcomed stages of the 3×3 basketball tournament organized by the International Federation of Basketball (FIBA). The stakes were high for the competing teams, for the men and women series, trying to qualify for participation in the Summer 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. Organized by Basketball Montreal (BM), the event was presented at the foot of the Jacques Cartier bridge, under an outdoor dome, from September 6 to 8, 2019. For the audience to experience this unique and memorable sports moment, BM called on the world’s leader in audiovisual and entertainment technology, Solotech.

In terms of lighting gear, Solotech provided Ayrton Mistral spot moving lights as well as SGM P-5 wash lights. Lastly, on the video side, the Solotech team opted for SL-Pro 8 LED HD video screens to ensure not to miss a moment.
