COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Something fun, new and action-packed
will greet fans attending games in Tennessee Tech’s Eblen
Center beginning this fall with the installation of a large video
board and new digital scoreboards.
“The new video board and all of the features it will provide
will be a huge enhancement to the gameday experience for fans
attending games in Eblen Center,” said Mark Wilson, TTU
Director of Athletics. “The possibilities are endless for
what we can display on the board, and we’re excited about the
way it will bring a new dimension to the interaction and experience
of Tennessee Tech athletics.”
The video board will not only provide highlights, replays and
other video content for basketball and volleyball games, it will
eventually be available for use at other events in the arena,
including commencement ceremonies, freshman convocation, and
more.
Tennessee Tech has partnered with Utah-based YESCO Electronics
to provide an integrated, eight-sided center-hung video display
system and digital scorer’s table for the arena, home of
Golden Eagle basketball and volleyball. The new system will be
ready for the 2014 volleyball season and 2014-2015 men’s and
women’s basketball seasons.
The new system includes four primary 12-by-15 foot video displays,
four corner displays, and 28- and 20-foot diameter, full-color
upper and lower video rings. The main displays are major updates to
the previous fixed-digit center-hung scoreboard installed in the
mid-1980s. Additionally, the Eblen Center upgrades will
include a new 40-foot wide, full-color digital scorer’s
table, four 6-by-10 foot fixed digit scoreboards, as well as shot
clocks, game clocks and locker room clocks.
“We are excited for this new video system and very pleased with the technology that YESCO is bringing to our arena,” Wilson said. “These screens will be the best in the Ohio Valley Conference and significantly improve what I already consider the best arena in the OVC.”
Ben Sewell, Regional Sales Manager for YESCO Electronics, is
overseeing the installation.
“YESCO Electronics is honored to partner with TTU for the
upgrades at the Eblen Center,” Sewell said. “All of
these video displays will feature the latest LED 
technology and rival any arena of its size in the country.
We are looking forward to a long-term relationship with the
university.”
The four main video displays will feature a 10mm true pixel pitch which will stream live game-time footage and instant replays in crisp detail, vibrant color, and at a blazing, 23,000Hz refresh rate. Both the upper and lower video rings, as well as the digital scorer’s table will also feature this same 10mm pixel pitch technology and offer sponsors a brand new platform to communicate with fans in a dynamic color.
YESCO Electronics LED screens are proudly manufactured in the USA and are UL Green Leaf Certified for energy efficiency.
