Consol Energy Center to feature High-Definition Mitsubishi Electric
Consol Energy Center to feature High-Definition Mitsubishi Electric Diamond VisionTM Super-System Latest LED technology to be center-stage in new, high-tech facility WARRENDALE, Pa. - January 19, 2010 - When the Consol Energy Center, new home of the National Hockey League Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins, opens for the 2010 NHL season, it will feature one of the most advanced and sophisticated video display super-systems ever produced for the arena market. Created by Mitsubishi Electric’s Diamond Vision Systems, the fully integrated scoring and video display installation will include more than 15 LED displays and feature four high-definition, center-hung video displays that use Mitsubishi Electric’s high-contrast 6mm black package LED technology. From day one, our goal has been to include state-of-the-art technology in Consol Energy Center,” said Travis Williams, senior vice president, business affairs and general counsel for the Pittsburgh Penguins. “When it came time to make our decision on the center-hung scoreboard and other video display products for the new arena, the clear choice was Diamond Vision. Mitsubishi Electric is the industry leader and we are excited about the opportunity to present these cutting-edge products to our fans.” Mitsubishi Electric’s black package 6mm LED system provides a level of contrast and vivid image quality not otherwise possible on a high-density indoor LED display system. This new technology allows fans to view stunning HD imagery on the highest quality display system in the
industry. “When we introduced this technology to the arena market at the Air Canada Centre, we knew it would be a hit and demonstrate once again that Mitsubishi Electric is always on the leading edge of LED technology,” said Todd Stih, national sales manager. In addition to the high-definition 6mm center-hung displays, Consol Energy Center will include the industry’s first installation of Mitsubishi Electric’s 4mm Resolia video display. The Resolia system is a single piece, ultra-thin, wall mountable 4mm LED display system intended for upclose viewing and ideal for digital signage applications. Other highlights include more than 2,000 linear feet (two 360-degree displays) of Diamond Vision Easy Service® 20mm ribbon boards. Mitsubishi Electric’s advanced ribbon board design utilizes 3-in-1 surface mount LEDs for exceptional viewing angles, improved sight lines and ease
of service. This ribbon board system produces no audible noise and ensures that the nearby premium suite and club level seating areas are not disturbed by the sound of ventilation fans typically used in other ribbon board systems. ANC Sports’ dynamic, patent-pending VisionSOFTTM will drive the Diamond Vision supersystem, delivering integrated scoring, statistics, event animations and sponsor graphics throughout the arena bowl. Using this unique 3D interface, the operator will be able to preview,
trigger and instantaneously synchronize captivating visuals across the display system at the click
of a single button. About Mitsubishi Electric and Diamond Vision
