Bournemouth 7s 2025
Bournemouth University Sports Campus in Christchurch
The Bournemouth 7s Festival, known as the world’s largest sports and music festival, draws tens of thousands of visitors annually. In 2025, iMAG was once again approached to deliver a large-scale, fully integrated LED screen and video control solution across multiple festival zones, including the Main Stage, Main Sports Pitch, Outer Pitches, and Bars. With such a diverse and high-footfall setting, the client required a solution that was not only technically flawless but visually unforgettable.
The Challenge:
Creating a unified video system for a large and complex outdoor event like Bournemouth 7s involved numerous significant challenges.. Each screen location had unique viewing requirements, light conditions, and audience interactions. The main pitch required a live scoreboard visible from all angles, while the main stage and bar areas needed immersive, high-definition visuals to match the energy of headline performances. All systems needed to operate seamlessly over several days of non-stop content, under unpredictable weather, and with zero tolerance for technical downtime. Above all, the solution had to ensure that brand and sponsor visibility was uncompromised across every screen.
The Solution
We deployed a bespoke LED solution across the festival site using our extensive inventory of premium equipment and industry-leading video control expertise. For the main bar, we installed a striking 5m x 2.5m screen built from our ROE Visual BQ4 panels. The same high-resolution BQ4 system was used for the main pitch scoreboard, measuring 4.5m x 2.5m, and engineered to deliver real-time sporting updates, event branding, and crowd prompts with absolute clarity.
Video processing was managed through the powerful Megapixel MVR 4K system, selected for its capability to handle multiple feeds and ultra-reliable 4K content delivery. In addition to the primary installations, we installed numerous bar and outer pitch screens across the site, all built from the same BQ4 panels to ensure consistency in brightness, resolution, and colour fidelity. These were managed via a centralised control hub, allowing real-time updates across all zones.
Equipment used:
