Daktronics Teams up with Indiana University

Daktronics Inc. (Brookings, SD) been chosen to provide Indiana University (IU) with several, integrated, video and scoring systems. Daktronics will upgrade IU’s football, aquatics, soccer and tennis facilities with LED videoscreens. A 36 x 90-ft., HD videoscreen at Memorial Stadium can operate as an independent display that shows single, large images or be divided into multiple zones (windows) to show statistics, information, graphics, animations, and live and recorded video in HD content. Hoosier fans will also hear hard-hitting action with a Daktronics custom audio system.
Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center will soon feature one of the largest LED video displays in any collegiate aquatics venue. IU swimming results and highlights will soon be shown on a 15 x 37-ft. wide videoboard. Daktronics will also provide another video display inside the aquatics center primarily to be used for diving.
To ensure precise and accurate timing of events, the new complete scoring, timing and video system will incorporate Daktronics patented touchpads, relay take off platforms, pace clocks, horn-start systems and Daktronics sports timers. The timers provide 1/1000th of a second accuracy and advanced features needed at high level competitions.
Inside Bill Armstrong Stadium, fans will see and hear the action of Hoosiers men’s and women’s soccer on a new Daktronics scoring, matrix and sound system. A Daktronics soccer scoreboard, complete with programmable team name displays and bright LED digits, will inform those in attendance of vital game information. Above the scoreboard, an LED message display provides game information, prompts and sponsorship opportunities. Rounding out the system will be Daktronics popular Sportsound® 1500HD audio system.
Scoreboards will be installed inside the IU Tennis Center that can score up to six different matches simultaneously and feature programmable, team-name displays on each scoreboard.
Included as part of the upcoming project will be Daktronics video image processing technologies, which processes and scales live and recorded video signal to digital imagery on large displays. The Show Control provides control software, data integration, and playback hardware that forms a comprehensive production solution. For more on Show Control, visit www.daktronics.com/show.
