OEC Adds Light to Training Room, Boardroom with Daktronics dvLED Displays

Three dvLED displays combat ambient light for crisp, clear imagery

BROOKINGS, S.D. – Dec. 6, 2023 – To bring a new view to training rooms and a board room in Norman, Oklahoma, Daktronics (NASDAQ-DAKT) of Brookings, South Dakota, manufactured and installed three narrow pixel pitch LED video displays at Oklahoma Electric Cooperative and OEC Fiber (OEC) this year. The project includes a 10-year warranty for all displays to ensure they are operating as expected for years to come.

 

Boardroom Display

In the boardroom, a display featuring 1.2-millimeter pixel spacing is mounted to the wall at the end of the room. It measures nearly 7 feet high by 12 feet wide to show presentation materials relevant to the meetings taking place but can also be used for additional videos and content for special events in the space. 

Training Room Displays

Much like the boardroom display, the two displays in the training room feature 1.2-millimeter pixel spacing and are mounted next two each other at the front of the room. Each display measures approximately 8 feet high by 14 feet wide. They are capable of showing live or recorded video, graphics, presentations, and other forms of digital content, such as sharing a computer screen. While this room will see a lot of training sessions, it is also a designated overflow space to help monitor any outages should they occur.

All three of these displays deliver direct-view LED technology to bring better image quality and crisp detail in environments that may have an abundance of ambient light. They all are also using Daktronics remote power option for efficient operation.

“Sometimes seeing is believing, so we set up a demo of our LED technology next to existing projectors at OEC to show the quality of the LED technology in comparison to what they currently had installed,” said Jim Vasgaard, Daktronics national sales manager for the AV sales channel. “Once seeing the difference, it was much easier to move forward with dvLED product as the premier choice for this project. An additional benefit is that LED displays typically offer double the operational lifetime of projectors.”

Daktronics offers a line of narrow pixel pitch LED displays ranging from 2.5 millimeters down to 0.7-millimeter pixel spacings. This product line brings expansive opportunities to those spaces commonly associated with LCD technology to create luxurious and immersive environments, share artistic digital content or show detailed, high-quality video.
