Immersive Fine-Pitch LED Screens For Casinos Keep Sports Fans Up To Date
Parx Casino Sportsbook is home to two custom-designed, fine-pitch immersive LED screens that bring the sporting action straight to the front row. With hundreds of live sports feeds, guests can stay up to date with instant stats, scores and real-time updates – all in one place.
An LED Screen For Sporting Immersion
Ten years on from the first digiLED project at Parx Casino in Philadelphia, digiLED were asked back by their long term partners, Video WallTronics, to install two LED screens into the brand new Sportsbook, a multimillion dollar addition to the Parx Casino facilities.
digiLED were tasked with providing an all-encompassing, immersive visual experience that was able to play multiple feeds at the same time. The product chosen was digiLED’s digiTHIN Q, for its ability to create stunningly flat screens.
LED Screen Picture-In-Picture
The first LED screen, a massive 165sqm, stretches the entire length of the Sportsbook. Both the left and right edges of the display curve around the contours of the room perfectly, thanks to the unique ability of the digiTHIN Q to create a seamless, faceted display.
The screen has multiple viewing options, it can be presented as either nine ‘beyond HD’ LED walls, or windowed off with various picture-in- picture configurations, giving the Sportsbook the possibility of showing up to 36 displays all at once. A key feature of digiLED’s digiTHIN Q2600 is reliability, which is critical for environments like the casino, where the screen will be in use 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year.
Immersive Entrance Lobby Screen
The second LED screen that digiLED supplied is the marquee screen in the lobby. It has an angular design, wrapping the top and right-hand side of the entrance to the Sportsbook, enticing casino guests across the threshold.
digiLED’s digiTHIN Q was also used for this project to create a flawlessly flat display. digiLED met the tough deadlines for this project and finished on time for commissioning, meaning the grand opening timed perfectly with the renowned start to the American football season on the 8th August 2019.
Flat & Curved LED Screens
“After a brief morning training course, the union technicians were able to use digiLED’s cleverly designed ‘push me pull you’ system to set up the precise column to column gap
required to make the perfect faceted curves.
The industry renowned ability of digiLED’s digiTHIN LED screens to create stunning, flat displays was therefore beautifully blended into the curving returns of the screen. All without the need for different products on the flats and the curves.”
