(Purchase, New York, September 20, 2007)- ANC Sports Enterprises is transforming the experience at the Sommet Center, home of the Nashville Predators with a new light emitting diode (LED) display system that will debut for the 2007-08 National Hockey League season.
The 10-year-old arena will feature a new center-hung scoreboard consisting of 18 full motion displays providing fans of the Predators, college basketball, concerts and other Nashville area events with a premier entertainment facility.
In addition to the new center-hung structure, ANC Sports will bring to life the four corners of the arena's fascia by replacing 100 feet of the existing backlit rotational signage with LED ad panels. ANC is spearheading the design, engineering and construction of the new multi-media display system, which will deliver dynamic in-game visuals, such as team animations, real-time statistics, advertisements, live action and replays.
"We are excited to partner with ANC Sports to increase the entertainment level of all events at the Sommet Center," said Steve Violetta, executive vice president of business affairs of the Nashville Predators. "The new display system will help create an electrifying atmosphere in the arena with dynamic visuals and real-time crowd prompts, providing our fans and sponsors with a one-of-a-kind experience every night."
The new center-hung structure will feature four 12' by 19' Diamond Vision® 10mm QUAD screens which use a unique pixel pattern to deliver a higher resolution, increasing image and video clarity. In addition to the Diamond Vision® video screens, eight Smartvision® 7' by 10' virtual scoring matrix and four triangular shaped side animated advertising panels will be featured on the center-hung structure. Additionally, two circular Smartvision® LED video ribbon displays featuring vibrant graphics and advertisements will be on the top and bottom of the structure.
Through ANC's patent pending VisionSOFT operating system, the new signage will deliver uncompressed images to all 20,000 seats in the arena and be capable of synchronizing a single image on all the screens or featuring independent content on every display. Additionally, VisionSOFT will interface with all the relevant sports information providers to display real-time statistics separate from or in conjunction with advertisements, creating additional sponsorship opportunities for the Sommet Center.
"We look forward to providing the Nashville community with a state-of-the-art facility through our advanced technology solutions," said Jerry Cifarelli, president and chief executive officer of ANC Sports Enterprises. "The new center-hung scoreboard and fascia display system will help create world-class entertainment during each event at the arena."
The signage system will feature dynamic 2D and 3D graphics created by ANC Design, a division of ANC Sports Enterprises that specializes in developing team and sponsor animations, advertisements, and statistical templates for LED displays.
