BROOKINGS, S.D. - Jan. 20, 2012 - La Salle University's Tom
Gola Arena debuted two new state-of-the-art at their men's
basketball game on Dec. 10, 2011, versus Army. The displays
were designed, manufactured and installed by Daktronics
Inc. (Nasdaq-DAKT) of Brookings, S.D.
"I think it is tremendous for the fans to get them
excited," Head Coach Dr. John Giannini said. "The reason
all the pro teams have them is because they add a great
deal to the game-day experience. Our games are going to be
a lot more fun because of them."
Located in the corners of the court, the video displays
measure more than seven feet high by nearly 14 feet wide.
Featuring , the video displays can operate together or
separately, and each can show single large images or be
divided into multiple zones (windows) to show live and
recorded video, a variety of statistics, exciting graphics,
animations and sponsor information.
The funding for the video displays was provided by a
generous gift from long-time La Salle supporter John Glaser
'62.
"We are excited to equip Gola Arena with state-of-the-art
video boards," Director of Athletics Dr. Tom Brennan said.
"A special thanks goes to John Glaser for his generous
gift."
To control all the new displays and the existing Daktronics
custom scoreboard in the arena, Daktronics included its
powerful with this installation. Touted by experts as the
best in the industry, the system provides a combination of
display control software, world-class video processing,
data integration and playback hardware that forms a
user-friendly production solution.
Daktronics Scoring and Timing Interface (DSTI) was also
included in the installation. The software sends game and
statistics directly from third party statistics software to
Daktronics display controllers. It reduces operator
requirements and increases fan excitement by showing
official game statistics on the displays in an arena. The
software is available for baseball, basketball, football,
hockey and volleyball.
"We are happy to work with La Salle University on this
project," Daktronics Sales Representative Scott Willson
said. "The video displays, together with their other
equipment in the arena, will improve their home court
experience and keep fans on their feet throughout
games."
Daktronics also has equipment in Kirk Pool, home to La
Salle aquatics.
