FedExField Goes HD, Part 7: Daktronics To Deliver HD Boards, CEI To Provide Infrastructure
by Matt Terl on Apr 29th 2010 4:59PM
* Daktronics has been selected to design, manufacture and install video boards for both end zones at FedExField
* Each board will measure 28 feet high and 100 feet wide. That's three times larger than the Jumbotrons being replaced
* In comparison to consumer televisions, the display is equivalent to a 1200 inch diagonal screen
* It would take approximately 675 flat panel televisions (at 37 inches each) to fill the area of one of the new end zone boards
* Communications Engineering (CEI) will upgrade and expand the FedExField control room and stadium infrastructure to manage the HD programming.
* The video boards will communicate in "real time" with no transmission delays
* The LED (light emitting diode) technology provides superior brightness even in direct sunlight and can show up to 4.4 trillion shades of color
* More than 3.1 million individual LED pixels will illuminate the images on the two displays
* The boards require 21,400 feet (or 4.1 miles) of wiring
* Fans will have super-wide viewing angles for more visibility. The angles exceed 160 degrees horizontal (greater than 80 degrees on each side off center)
* Each end zone display will weigh approximately 34,000 pounds
* Project includes installation of Show Control System to enhance production values, event management and control of the multiple displays options that are available
* Daktronics will also install eight digital ribbon boards with four adjacent to the new end zone displays.
* Other technology enhancements include new game clocks, play clocks and replacement of other in-stadium video displays
