Spectra partnered with ANC to integrate a new video display system, highlighted by a center-hung display that features four main video screens measuring 12.60’ high by 15.75’ wide.
The center-hung is complemented by eight LED ribbon displays, which will be utilized throughout the arena for real-time statistics, crowd entertainment, and advertising messages.
The renovation included a complete new in-house video production system which enables HD quality live video and instant replays.
“As an established partner of Spectra, ANC stood out for their ability to create a display that will take Cross Insurance Arena to the next level,” said Spectra’s Matt Herpich, General Manager, Cross Insurance Arena. “The new display system will empower Spectra and the sports tenants that play at Cross Insurance Arena to create an immersive environment for a variety of sporting and entertainment events hosted at the arena.”
Through a multi-year partnership, ANC’s creative services division will develop content for the video display system, including dynamic content, statistical templates and sponsor graphics. The video display system will be operated through ANC’s award-winning vSOFT™ operating system, creating an immersive fan experience.
“We are excited to bring state of the art LED displays to the Cross Insurance Arena,” said Dave Watroba, Vice President Sales, ANC. “Building upon our relationship with Spectra, we look forward to partnering on another center-hung display system, along with developing content to create an engaging environment for all visitors of Cross Insurance Arena.”
