Heartland Event Center Upgrades With @Daktronics

Gail Chiasson, North American Editor

Heartland Event Center in Grand Island, Nebraska, has asked Daktronics to design, manufacture and install four new video displays that will replace the displays currently being used in Heartland’s center-hung.

Hugh Miner, Jr., Heartland Events Center CEO, says, “The video display along with video cameras will greatly enhance the ability of patrons attending events to enjoy a production that better captures all of the activity going on during concerts, sporting events and other events held in the facility. The upgrade will also provide the option of showing replays to those attending an event.

“Daktronics has provided HEC with great service since the facility opened in August of 2006, and the upgrade in technology will be a welcome addition.”

The four video displays will each be approximately 7’ high by 7’ wide and will each incorporate 6 millimeter line spacing. These video displays will demonstrate excellent image clarity and contrast with exceptional wide angle visibility. As usual with displays of this type, they will be capable of showing one large image to highlight live video and instant replays, or can be divided into separate windows to show a variety of vivid graphics, colourful animations, up-to-the-minute statistics, scoring information and sponsor advertisements.

“These new displays will provide improved image clarity and enhance an already great venue and experience,”
says Matt Warnke, Daktronics sales representative.

Daktronics will also be working with Henn Signs out of Grand Island, Nebraska, to resell the previously-existing equipment. The installation is set for early this summer.
