What is a gigapixel?
The Blakeway gigapixel is an amazing fan engagement tool. To fans, it is an online, interactive, 360 degree group selfie. The fan photo is massive – billions of pixels in size – and allows fans to rotate, zoom, and find themselves inside the stadium or arena. By tagging and sharing the photo online, fans have sent the gigapixel on a viral journey.
How big are these images?
Blakeway Gigapixels are huge - most are over 25 gigapixels in size (that's 25 billion pixels)! If you were to surround yourself with a sphere of 1080p HDTVs (2 megapixels) and display the image at full resolution, you would need over 13,000 HDTVs to show the entire image at once. Blakeway Gigapixels are massive, allowing for the most incredible detail in fan event images in the world.

How does it work?
Blakeway Gigapixels are taken with cutting edge equipment that produces hundreds of high-resolution images that are then digitally stitched together by our talented team.
With our extensive experience and incredible equipment, we can capture the fans in about two minutes, often times during game breaks or TV timeouts. We then stitch it together and have it ready for fans to view in about 24-48 hours depending on the venue size.
