Eight GoVision Screens to Dazzle During NCAA(r) Men's Final Four (r)
Indianapolis, IN, April 03, 2010 --(PR.com)-- GoVision Installs Video Wall Above Court at Lucas Oil Stadium
For the second year in a row, an octagonal LED video wall has been suspended above the court for the NCAA Men’s Final Four. Fans attending the 2010 NCAA Division 1 Men’s Basketball Championships this weekend will have a spectacular, high-definition view of all the action, regardless of where they’re seated in Lucas Oil Stadium. Fans watching at home will also be able to see the giant screens.
The video wall and related production elements are provided by Argyle, Texas-based GoVision (www.jumbo.tv), one of the nation's premier suppliers of turnkey mobile LED units and customized modular LED walls, and the screen provider of the Men’s Final Four.
In partnership with the NCAA, GoVision configured eight 15’x28’ Daktronics PST 12HD modular LED screens to create a true high-definition octagonal video wall that was suspended from the ceiling 60 feet above the basketball court. The eight-screen unit weighs in at 36,680 pounds.
The state-of-the-art screens that form the video wall were pulled from the outside plazas at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, as part of GoVision’s unique partnership with the Dallas Cowboys, announced last September.
This year’s crowd will also be treated to something new: a 50’-long courtside ribbon board that will display sponsor logos, stats and other high-definition graphics. The 30”-high screen is comprised of Daktronics high-resolution modular PST-6i-b panels, and is similar to the configuration GoVision debuted during February’s NBA All Star Game in Dallas.
“Once again, GoVision is helping us make the in-game spectator experience at the Men’s Final Four truly spectacular,” said LJ Wright, Director of NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship. “You can sit anywhere in Lucas Oil Stadium and have an awesome view of the action on the court. The GoVision team went above and beyond, just like they did in Detroit last year, and the addition of the courtside screens is great for fans too.”
“It’s always exciting being a part of an event that’s watched by the whole country, but we’re getting pretty used to the pressure,” said Chris Curtis, CEO of GoVision. “Our team knows how to execute when the stakes are highest, which is why we have such a strong track record of repeat business from blue-chip clients like the NCAA.”
