Digital courtside system adds to Orlando Magic games
Daktronics (Brookings, SD), in partnership with Van Wagner Dorna U.S.A. (NYC), provided five sections of its popular LED scorer’s tables to the Orlando Magic The five digital scorer’s tables are configured into a single, 48-ft.-wide courtside display that shows crowd prompts, event information and sponsor messages, with the ability to display real-time statistics and out-of-town game scores.
The LED table design was modified to meet the National Basketball League’s requirements for player safety. Gas-loaded springs allow the entire face of the display to “give” should a player or referee run or bump into the display.
