Without a doubt, Panasonic's one of the most experienced digital display solutions' manufacturers out there, and for this reason, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that its digital signage solutions can be found just about anywhere the world, including here the Vatican City.

So, as the Japanese company informs us, the Vatican City officials had forty-two new plasma displays installed, ten of which found their way to the foyer of the new entrance and will be used to inform and drive the millions of tourists that visit the Vatican Museum, while thirty-two professional 42 inch displays have been installed in a video wall configuration in the control room.

Among the displays installed are 50 inch and 65 inch models, as well as Panasonic’s 103 inch display.

In fact, the Vatican City representatives are also considering the installation of another 103 inch model, this time with 3D technology into the congress room.

The adoption of Panasonic's PDP display solutions continues a collaboration that's been going on for the last ten years, the Japanese company installing in 1999 the Vatican's video surveillance system, still controlling the square, the basilica the Vatican museum and all the State areas today.

Further down the timeline, Panasonic installed at the Vatican city more plasma displays, which are used exclusively to transmit public information and videos to visitors, while in the 2007 in put up four huge screens in the St Peter’s Square to broadcast a programme of religious celebrations to an audience of around 1 million people.

“We are proud of this cooperation with The Vatican”, said Mr. Laurent Abadie, President and CEO of Panasonic Europe, concluding that “to have our professional plasma technology installed inside the Vatican Museum to support the viewing of precious pieces on display and to drive visitors inside the course of museums.”
