Daktronics has partnered with the Oak View Group to manufacture and install nine LED displays at Moody Center in Austin, TX. A new centerhung video display system, ribbon display, and marquee display were installed at the end of 2021 and are currently informing and entertaining audiences.
Each of the four main centerhung LED video displays measure approximately 20.5x27 feet and feature 5.9-millimeter pixel spacing to bring crisp, clear images to audiences throughout the arena. Each display is capable of variable content zoning allowing each to show one large image or multiple zones of video, replay and graphic content that fans crave. They can also show statistics and sponsorship messages throughout events.

Below the main video displays is a ring display measuring approximately 3x109 feet. This display will also feature 5.9-millimeter pixel spacing. On the underbelly of the centerhung, two video displays feature 2.5-millimeter pixel spacing and each measure 5x15 feet to share supplemental information to the main displays and bring a better view to guests sitting closer to the action.
Adding to the centerhung, a long LED ribbon display has been mounted to the seating fascia of the arena. This display measures approximately 3.5x715 feet and features 10-millimeter pixel spacing to bring opportunities to share additional statistics and sponsorship messages throughout events.
