The University of San Diego selected Daktronics to deliver a new centerhung LED video display system as well as new end-court ribbon displays at their Jenny Craig Pavilion. The installation was completed in time for commencement celebrations held in the venue, with physical installation by San Diego Electric Sign and electrical and low voltage by Zeller Electric.
The new displays are controlled by Daktronics Show Control, which is integrated into the existing end-wall video displays for a fully immersive experience.
“The completion of the renovations to the Jenny Craig Pavilion demonstrates our commitment to enhancing the experience for our student-athletes and fans,” says USD Associate Vice President and Executive Director of Athletics Kimya Massey. “With these upgrades, the JCP now stands as one of the premier venues in the West Coast Conference and will have a lasting impact on our men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as our volleyball team, by providing them with top-tier facilities that elevate their training, performance, and overall experience at USD. I am grateful to Jenny Craig and her family for their continued generosity and support of our program. We are confident these improvements will significantly enrich our programs and create an unmatched game-day atmosphere from the moment fans step into the Pavilion.”
Centerhung Display Details
The centerhung system consists of six displays with four main video displays and two underbelly video displays.
- Centerhung baseline: two displays each measuring 10 feet high by 16.5 feet wide
- Centerhung sideline: two displays each measuring 13 feet high by 23 feet wide
- Centerhung underbelly: two displays each measuring 2.5 feet high by 18 feet wide
“We are excited to continue our partnership with the University of San Diego with this exciting addition to Jenny Craig Pavilion,” said Daktronics Project Executive Luke Tingle. “This additional LED will bring even more excitement on game day and at other events for years to come. As part of this installation, we provided our latest Show Control features which not only control the LED displays but can trigger centerhung accent lighting, new sports lighting and audio systems with a press of a single button.”
Additional Display Details
Bringing more dynamic content and messaging, two additional ribbon displays are being installed at Jenny Craig Pavilion. These ribbon displays are being mounted to the seating fascia to bring supplemental graphics and animations, each featuring a 10-millimeter pixel spacing and measuring 2.5 feet high by 67 feet wide.
Tying all the digital displays together will be an updated custom Daktronics control solution featuring Show Control. This provides a powerful user interface to allow for one-button display coordination and multiple options for the production team to put on the desired show for events of any size and scope held at the venue.
