digiLED delivers a campus-wide LED installation at the Scottish Event Campus
The Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in Glasgow is one of the UK’s most prominent destinations for live entertainment, exhibitions and conferences, welcoming over one million eventgoers a year. Following a competitive tender process, digiLED was appointed to deliver LED installations across the entire campus – the OVO Hydro Arena, the SEC Armadillo and the SEC Centre.
LED display transformation at The SEC
LED screens for arenas within a complex architectural environment
The SEC campus is architecturally unique. Curved structures, limited mounting surfaces and irregular geometries presented significant challenges.
The Welcome Wall within the OVO Hydro presented a significant challenge, installed on a curved, conical façade and tilted 30° towards the audience. Achieving seamless alignment across three faceted surfaces was further complicated by the absence of accurate as-built drawings.
“We had to survey everything, find the structural attachment points, create a sub-frame and then add a precision aluminium frame to achieve the 0.2 – 0.3mm accuracy required for LED.” – David Gunn, Technical Sales Manager at digiLED

Bespoke LED display solutions for arena & live event spaces
To support the diverse requirements of the SEC, digiLED designed and delivered a network of bespoke LED display solutions tailored to each venue and environment.
Within the OVO Hydro Arena installations include the large scale digiTHIN XS Q Welcome Wall, a 137 metre mid-tier ribbon and VISION MAX Q turnstile screens, providing high-impact visual communication at key points.
The SEC Armadillo features custom-engineered VISION MAX Q displays installed on bespoke sliding frameworks for efficient servicing, while the SEC Centre features fine-pitch welcome screens alongside a NANO COB wayfinding display positioned above the entrance to an auditorium, delivering clear, high-resolution visuals in a high traffic environment.

Arena LED screens & energy-efficient digital signage
Sustainability was a key consideration for the SEC. As part of the campus-wide LED upgrade, digiLED ZEUS® energy-saving technology was integrated across the majority of the installed displays.
digiLED ZEUS® enables intelligent power management by allowing LED screens to be powered down when not in use, while remaining instantly ready for live operation.
For a campus operating year-round, this delivers meaningful carbon reductions alongside tangible operational cost savings.
ZEUS also gives the SEC team greater control over screen scheduling and usage, ensuring the digital estate supports both environmental goals and day-to-day operational efficiency.

Across the campus, digital signage enhances arrival experiences, improves real-time communication and creates new revenue-generating opportunities.
