(Purchase, New York, June 24, 2010) – ANC Sports Enterprises has partnered with the National Basketball Association for the 9th consecutive year to feature a state-of-the-art LED signage system during the live ESPN telecast of the 2010 NBA Draft at the Theater at Madison Square Garden tonight, Thursday, June 24 at 7:00 pm.
Throughout this year’s NBA Draft approximately 70 square feet of 6mm LED modular displays will be featured behind the Commissioner’s podium. Driven by ANC’s patent-pending VisionSOFT™ operating system, the signage will highlight each player’s selection with vibrant animations of NBA team logos and other event information.
“We are honored to continue our partnership with this marquee NBA event,” said Colleen Duffy-Brace, vice president of sales, ANC Sports Enterprises. “During the season and throughout the year, ANC’s signage solutions enable NBA teams and venues to deliver dynamic experiences for any event, powered by the most advanced media control system in sports.”
ANC’s patent-pending 3D interface synchronizes all the digital displays in a venue, creating an energetic atmosphere through uncompressed full motion graphics which simultaneously transition to real-time information. VisionSOFT is capable of managing multiple real-time media streams for arena and stadium scoreboards, digital advertising screens, courtside signage, concession stand displays, concourse televisions and suite video systems.
ANC Sports has provided the NBA Draft with LED technology since 2002, while also teaming with the League for live events. During the 2010 NBA All-Star Celebration, ANC operated over 4,000 linear feet of ribbon boards and four 32 feet wide by 6 feet high vomitorium video screens at Cowboys Stadium during the All-Star Game. Additionally, the company set up, controlled, and broke down its new DLP® II Courtside Digital Signage System for the 2010 T-Mobile Rookie Challenge and Youth Jam and NBA All-Star Saturday Night at the American Airlines Center. In addition to the company’s long-term relationship with the League, ANC is also the courtside signage provider for 19 NBA teams and has marketing partnerships with 26 teams.
