The National Hockey League’s Columbus Blue Jackets HAS added a mini centre-hung
video display system to its players’ locker room at the team’s Nationwide Arena.
The feature includes four curved LED screens from SNA Displays’ BRILLIANT Interior
range. Built with high-resolution 1.25 mm pixel pitch LED screens, the new installation
is essentially a miniature version of the scoreboards seen at the centre of many sporting arenas.
Each screen has a high-definition resolution of 1,080 pixels highC by 1,920 pixels wide,
amounting to approximately 8.3 million pixels in total.
In addition, each display can be controlled remotely and synced with the sound system in the room.
SNA Displays worked with the locker room’s AV integrator, SoundCom, which built the rack,
ran low-voltage cabling and was contracted to install the display. The installation team coordinated
closely on dimensions, weights, and specifications with the centre-hung frame fabricator Jones Signs.
Owner-representative Anthony James Partners provided consulting services throughout each phase
of the project, while Osborn Engineering designed and oversaw the development of the structure of the
display. The multiphase renovation of the stadium as as whole was led by general contractor Barton Malow Builders.
