4K Ultra HD video boards are coming to the NBA.

The Sacramento Kings announced today that it will install the NBA’s first-ever in-stadium 4K Ultra HD video board inside Golden 1 Center, a new high-tech arena opening this fall.

The four-screen display, built by Panasonic, is the largest in the NBA and totals more than 32 million pixels. It’s seven times larger than what exists in the team’s current arena.

“Our partnership with Panasonic will revolutionize how fans consume the game — giving them an unmatched viewing experience from the moment they walk into Golden 1 Center,” Kings owner and Chairman Vivek Ranadivé said in a statement. “We are proud to deliver the world’s latest technology and provide a transformative experience to the best fans in the NBA.”

The Golden 1 Center, hailed as the “most connected” arena in the world, has a bevy of high-tech features, including the 4K Ultra HD video board. There’s also a robust wireless network and a 6,000 square foot command and data center that will tell fans where the shortest concession stand lines are.
