Daktronics Set Up Integrated LED Video and Scoring System for NFL, London

The rental agreement with the NFL for the game includes two ribbon displays arranged three feet high by 40 feet wide (0.9 meters high by 12 meters wide) on the fascia of the stadium. The ribbon displays, capable of colorful animation and vivid graphics with incredible brightness and wide angle visibility, show game-in-progress, play clock and sponsor information throughout the game. In addition, two LED game clocks were placed at the center points of the stadium.

The ribbon displays utilize PST-12HD video technology, a thin, lightweight panel design that allows for easy transport and storage. The lightest outdoor display panel of its kind, the PST-12 HD uses an innovative staggered pixel layout to produce more brightness using less LEDs—making it a cost-effective, high-performance outdoor display solution perfect for concerts, festivals and athletic events of all shapes and sizes.

Daktronics also provides event support for ribbon displays, working seamlessly with NFL approved clock operators to display real-time data and game-in-progress information. Daktronics control system was also used to overlay statistical information onto the stadium’s existing main video displays.

“Daktronics was able to successfully complete this installation by using our PST-HD12 panels.” said Daktronics Project Manager Eric Graber. “Our engineers built a custom bracket and safety harnesses for attachment to existing display fascia. Using Daktronics mobile and modular product made the installation simple, safe and easy to complete. Daktronics is pleased to partner with the NFL in bringing dynamic scoring, fantasy stats, graphics and video to the Wembley fans.”
