NEWS: Digital Signage Expo has recently announced 33 finalists for its Apex Awards for 2012, and we’re happy to have made the cut in the Event Venue category for our HP Pavilion digital signage project! From the DSE website:
The annual DSE Apex Awards honor innovation in the development and deployment of technology in the global DOOH industry. Nominees are the end-use site of the installation.
Chosen by an independent panel of five industry journalists, this year’s Apex Award finalists were named from a field of 88 entrants representing 18 countries and vying in 11 major digital signage categories. Gold, Silver and Bronze Apex Awards will be presented in each category at a special awards banquet slated for the opening night of DSE 2012 on Wednesday, March 7th, from 7-9 p.m. at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. DSE will also present for the first time an Apex Award of the Year to one of the Gold finalists.

Recently Completed: Digital advertising pendants at HP Pavilion in San Jose, CA. 16 stainless steel overhead enclosures, 32 video wall faces, 192 individually-addressable LCD displays powered by 32 networked media players, all run from a centralized show control system that integrates with the center-hung scoreboard (2007), bowl fascia LED (2007), digital menuboards (2010), new digital dasherboard LEDs (2011), and an exterior LED marquee (2003). Display content includes static and dynamic advertising, high-definition game video, real-time scoring and stats, concessions and retail promotion, trivia, contests, and upcoming events.
“We are very pleased and excited to add these two noteworthy enhancements to our digital media network inside the building,” said Rich Sotelo, Vice President of Building Operations. “The power of the system is unmatched in the industry, taking advantage of multiple technologies and the Daktronics Show Control System to make game day presentations all they can be, showing high definition video, real time statistics, and moments of exclusivity. All these displays working together, in sync, throughout the building, provide a truly powerful presentation.”
Since 1999, our teams have provided design and implementation services for literally dozens of projects at HP Pavilion, home of the NHL’s San Jose Sharks, as well as other related facilities.
The center-hung digital display shows in-game video, show media, dynamic advertising and scoring information, all housed in a totally custom stainless steel structure featuring complex curves. The project also included the 360 degree LED fascia display, relocation and upgrades to the control room, and the design and implementation of a new show control system.
