American Airlines Center Continues to Set Trends in Technology

TS Sports installs the First NBA and NHL venue with 1080 HD Arena Display

Dallas, Texas – American Airlines Center, home of the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars, today announced plans to install the first and largest 1080 high-definition video replay system in an NBA or NHL venue. Digital video throughout the arena bowl will be increased by over 300 percent with the addition of a new high-definition center scoreboard and two stadium-sized video displays that will dominate the upper end walls. The new video displays will be manufactured and installed this summer and ready for the 2009-2010 basketball and hockey season.

The new system is being designed, manufactured and installed through a collaboration of Lighthouse Technologies Limited of Hong Kong and its U.S. affiliate, TS Sports. The system features four true 1080 resolution video screens in the center scoreboard. Each screen is designed to promote brightness, clarity and high-definition viewing quality through the use of the latest four millimeter light-emitting-diode (LED) technology, a 33 percent increase in resolution over existing LED displays currently installed in any arena.

“When we opened the doors of American Airlines Center in 2001, we told the fans that we would remain on the forefront of technology,” Martin Woodall, Vice President of Mark Cuban Companies said. “We’ve gone beyond that commitment, with the highest resolution and largest video screens ever installed in an arena and we’re combining this with a new custom digital sound system to greatly enhance the fan experience.”

The new generation audio system will have the ability to create custom surround sound effects and is the first of its kind in an arena. The state-of-the-art linear array JBL speaker system features the latest audio technologies comparable to systems used by major concert touring shows.

“These new video boards and sound system will enhance the fans’ experience at our games,” said Stars President Jeff Cogen. “High definition and 1080-resolution have greatly improved the at-home TV experience. The size and quality of these boards, coupled with the live-game experience, will make attending our games far superior than watching at home.”

In addition to the center scoreboard, two new massive video displays will be installed at both ends of the arena. The new end video displays will provide crystal clear instant replays and on-demand statistics. Also, a new 360 degree LED ribbon display will surround the interior of the arena bowl. The ribbon board will provide spectators with high resolution animations, graphics and game information. The timing of installation for the combination video and audio systems will provide the ultimate showcase for the 2010 NBA All-Star weekend activities.

“Working with American Airlines Center, Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars has been an honor and a privilege,” Garry Waldrum, president and chief operating officer of TS Sports said. “This is a truly innovative system that will set new trends for other professional sports venues throughout the country.”

Brad Mayne, president of Center Operating Company applauds the commitment of team owners Mark Cuban and Tom Hicks for their support of the new video and audio systems.

“Mark and Tom continue their commitment to make improvements to the American Airlines Center. These improvements will maintain American Airlines Center’s position in hosting the ‘best of the best’ in the NBA, NHL and concert events for many years to come. I applaud our owners, staff, Mavericks & Stars, along with our vendors for delivering the very best live experience available to the sports and entertainment industry.”
