The American Airlines Center, which is a nationally renowned sports and entertainment venue in Dallas, resolved to bring an enhanced video experience to the fans. The center is currently undergoing a mammoth technological renovation project and the installation of 25 Lighthouse LED video screens is part of this make-over process.


Cree (News - Alert), Inc. a market leader in LED lighting, recently announced that its high brightness LEDs are used in Lighthouse Technologies' high definition video screens, which have been  installed  in the American Airlines Center, this season.

The ten-year old, 2000 seat arena is also to install the first 1080x1920 high-definition video screen in any NBA or NHL facility. These new digital screens are designed to increase video visibility throughout the facility. As a result, the spectators will get to enjoy dramatic instant replays, important scoring information and dynamic ad content in vivid color and ultra-sharp detail. The complex, that draws thousands of NBA and NHL fans, also hold numerous concerts and live entertainment throughout the year. Cree’s versatile 3-in-1 high-brightness LEDs will be delivering crystal-clear, high definition images for fans throughout the arena.

The arena's core display consists of four Lighthouse LED screens. Each screen is meant to produce high-quality, superior-focus images so that basketball and hockey fans at the front front and center can keep with all the action. Advertising screens are provided on the top and bottom sections of the screen. At each end of the arena, two stadium-sized video screens have been installed----they are three times larger than the previous monitors.

Lighthouse Technologies Limited is an internationally renowned name in the area of LED display technology. The company develops, manufactures, and markets LED video display solutions for multiple indoor and outdoor applications, media and entertainment events, and sports arenas across the globe. Cree's Screen Master high-brightness LEDs came as a natural choice for the Lighthouse Technologies’ high definition video screens.

“Cree's Screen Master high-brightness LEDs provide excellent quality and performance, helping Lighthouse Technologies deliver vibrant color and crisp detail,” said Paul Thieken, Cree director of marketing, LED components. “Sports fans and concert attendees alike are sure to appreciate the stunning views, on-screen statistics and high-resolution action offered by the state-of-the-art Lighthouse video screens.”

Lighthouse Technologies designed the high resolution video screens specifically for the American Airlines Center and only a high performing lighting solution can rightly complement the video experience.

“Cree's broad product portfolio of LEDs featuring high-intensity output and wide viewing angles were the optimal solution for all the video screens, including the 4mm high resolution, high definition video screens Lighthouse designed for the American Airlines Center,” said Ed Whitaker, Lighthouse Technologies North American Sales Director.

With Cree and Lighthouse Technologies coming together in creating magical video experience, the NBA and NHL fans in Dallas are to expect something more exhilarating this season.
