Twelve New LED Projects Reflect Barco's Versatility and Growth
Logan, Ut – June 16, 2004 - Barco Media is pleased to announce that it has been selected as the LED source for twelve new projects ranging from high schools to casinos. These installations total over $4 million and confirm Barco’s strong hold on the LED market.
Important wins adding to Barco’s success in the highly competitive sports market include basketball and football scoreboards at the Iowa Events Center, Colorado State University, and California State University at Sacramento. New contracts with professional minor league baseball teams include the Joliet Jackhammers, New Britain Rock Cats, Greensboro Bats, Lake Elsinore Storm, Missoula Osprey, and the Round Rock Express. For all of these sports installations, Barco will provide the LED video screen, all scoring equipment, project management, system integration, and field installation.Barco’s Slite 14 LED video board was recently chosen to enhance the experience of soccer fans at Creighton University, home of one of the pre-eminent soccer facilities in the nation. “We are building the nicest soccer facility in the history of collegiate soccer on our expanding campus in downtown Omaha. We have tried to do everything first class in the facility. The Barco technology and service record is impressive, and we are looking forward to having a state-of-the-art video board in our new soccer facility,” state Bob Warming, Men’s Soccer Head Coach at Creighton University.
Significant wins in the commercial market include the Grand Casino – Mille Lac and the Toronto Eaton Center, both very high-profile installations requiring high resolution, high brightness and maximum viewing angles. Both installations will implement Barco’s Slite LED series, and Barco will assume turn-key responsibility for design and installation of the video screens.
