USA - Installation has begun on the first 1080x1920 high definition video screen in an NBA or NHL facility. The Lighthouse LED screens are part of a large scale technological renovation project at the American Airlines Centre in Dallas. The new digital screens will increase video throughout the facility by 300 percent. Working with long time partner, TS Sports, 25 Lighthouse LED screens, including four 1080p full HD screens on the centre hung display, will be installed at the facility. The upgrade will be completed over the summer for the 2009-2010 Dallas Mavericks' and Dallas Stars' seasons.

To bring Dallas sports fans the most intense excitement at every game, the centre-hung display will comprise four Lighthouse P4 4mm screens, each producing 1080p Full HD images. The display also will include four P10 10mm scoring screens and two P16 16mm screens, an octagonal and a round-shape advertising screens on the top and bottom sections, providing spectators with dramatic instant replays, important scoring information and dynamic ad content.

Two stadium sized 20mm video screens have been installed, one at each end of the arena. For hockey and basketball games, two screens comprising P10 10mm panels will be placed along the dasher boards, where they will display advertising content to arena and TV audiences alike.

Circling the entire perimeter of the arena will be a 360 degree, F20 20mm fascia banner, to be installed on the Platinum level boards, and another 10 F20 banners will be added to the Flagship level boards below.

"We promised our fans that the American Airlines Centre will be the most technologically advanced sports facility, and Lighthouse and TS Sports stuck out as the obvious choice for making this happen," says Brad Mayne, president of the Arena Centre Operating Company. "Lighthouse and TS Sports showed us they have the experience and expertise to pull this huge project together, and get it done on time. Now every Dallas sports fan will be able to enjoy the Mavs and Stars like they've never enjoyed them before."
