PNC Arena Adding 4,000-Sq.-Ft. Daktronics Centerhung LED Display System

"We are committed to maintaining PNC Arena as a first-class facility and providing enhancements that create the best possible fan experience for all events," said The Centennial Authority Chairman Thomas McCormick. "We are excited to unveil the new centerhung scoreboard at the opening of the 2019-20 Carolina Hurricanes and NC State men's basketball seasons."

The centerhung system is curved around the corners to provide a large, single-canvas presentation that is HDR ready and capable. This single-canvas presentation measures approximately 25 feet high by 148 feet wide and features 5.9-millimeter line spacing to bring high-resolution imagery to fans throughout the arena. Each side of the centerhung display provides a 25-foot-high by 47-foot-wide viewing experience while each end measures 25 feet high by 27 feet wide.

"This new video system will bring a larger-than-life experience to fans and event attendees at PNC Arena," said Daktronics President and CEO Reece Kurtenbach. "We're excited to work with PNC Arena, the Carolina Hurricanes and NC State to bring this improved visual centerpiece to their events. As the fan experience at live events continues to be paramount, our team remains dedicated to providing the best possible solutions for our customers to help them exceed their entertainment goals."

Two displays are mounted to the underbelly of the centerhung system to appeal to fans, players and coaches sitting rinkside or courtside. Each display measures approximately 10 feet high by 20 feet wide and features 3.9-millimeter line spacing to provide optimized resolution for those viewers.

The main display features variable content zoning allowing it to show one large image or multiple zoned images. Live video, instant replay, statistics and game information, graphics and animations, and sponsorship messages can all be shown simultaneously or take over the entire display in coordination with specific moments during the event.

Damn, Necas is in the penalty box already. Send him back to Charolotte.

 

[FaulkYouAho]

I think laine is going to be jelous of it. I bet he asks dundon if he can play fortnite on it

 

[CandyCanes]

Will be a nice addition to the stadium. Though it won’t be the nicest and biggest in the league that Dundon wanted.

 

[The Faulker 27]

That f***er is huge!

 

[Dishface]

The scoreboard curse will be broken!

High tech storm surge...

 

[hurricanesfan66]

I really dig the inside ones to allow for lower bowl and benches to see the replays better. You always see players/coaches craning up to look at the board.

As Expensive as it'll be I hope the 'Canes don't jump and bump it

 

[CandyCanes]

Out with the old, in with the new...


I’ve always wondered what they do with the old Jumbotrons. The old one wasn’t bad. Wonder if they sell it, donate it, or scrap it?

When you make that realization that the Jumbotron has more square footage than my family’s 2 story, 4 bedroom home and my 2 bedroom apartment put together.

 

[Svechhammer]

This is going to look so cool in that arena. I'm curious on what the design team is going to be able to do with it next year. They really started to hit it out of the park last year with the projectors, and now another new shiny toy on top of it?

It's a bit of a domino effect. Major league scoreboard gets sold to minor leagues. Minor league scoreboard gets sold to juniors. Junor scoreboard gets donated to local rink.

the Junior Hurricanes are about to have the most epic intermission shows ever

 

[Iceman]

Already stolen? Wow.

 

[Svechhammer]

Already stolen? Wow.

Dundon has sold off the old scoreboard and is moving the franchise in the new age direction. Figures, everyone has a smartphone where stats and score can be seen, why spend the money on a redundant scoreboard?

You’d have to have decent phone service or WiFi in the arena for that to be the case. I can still barely check scores of other games on LTE from PNC...

I tried out the WiFi during the playoffs and it worked really well. Much better than when I tried in previous years.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I tried out the WiFi during the playoffs and it worked really well. Much better than when I tried in previous years.

Agreed. I was having the expected struggles at an event on cell data, but the wifi was working rather well for me.

 

[Svechhammer]

Yeah, I was surprised. Usually when I walk into the arena, my phone enters a neverending cycle of looking for a signal which causes it to heat up, slow down, and the battery to drain fast. Even WiFi in the past just wasn't strong and it would drop constantly.

These playoffs were different, and the signal remained strong throughout. Which is impressive considering we were busy setting attendance records by the day.

 

[bleedgreen]

While it's probably going to be amazing I gotta say the Av's have one so huge its actually distracting. From the upper seats you're more likely to watch it than the game itself. It's hard to NOT look at it.
