NHL scoreboards have gone through an amazing transformation in recent years and today represent one of the most sophisticated display experiences available anywhere for fans. These modern scoreboards do more than just keep track of the score and other details about the game. With the addition of larger LED video panels, they have truly become an interactive experience for fans and greatly enhance their enjoyment of the game.
Most of these newer NHL scoreboards are mounted in the center of the arena on the ceiling and are configured as several scoreboards in a cluster to guarantee every seat in the house a great view of the action. They feature every conceivable game related statistics including time, score, current period, the number of shots on goal and even penalty time left per player. All of these details are shown to the fans through the latest generation of LED displays. These orange or red LED’s do an amazing job of delivering a crisp and clear image of the digits needed to keep track of the game. They are also able to be seen by fans that have seats are a severe angle to the NHL scoreboards and eliminate the blurring and distortion of older, less sophisticated displays.
In addition to the LED digits on the hockey scoreboards, many of them also include a large LED display that can handle full motion video. These newer LED panels are high definition and are a major improvement in panels used even a few years ago in their quality and brightness. This is a major innovation in NHL scoreboards that allow the fans to enjoy a wide universe of additional content. Many arenas use these displays to let the fans enjoy player statistics, instant replays, advertising, announcements and even live feeds from cameras on the ice and in the locker room. This allows these newer NHL scoreboards to broaden the fans experience by providing them with a more intimate involvment around the details of the game.
Another advantage in having multiple LED displays on these NHL scoreboards is that different information can be shown on each screen. Also, each individual screen can be configured to display content from various sources at the same time. This means an arena can have a live feed of the game in progress and insert a smaller window with a replay of a shot on goal. This allows these NHL scoreboards to deliver a lot more information to the fans during the game than ever before.
One other innovation that many of these NHL scoreboards are including is a set of LED displays mounted on the bottom of the scoreboard forming a V display. This helps the fans that are sitting in the first 10 rows to better enjoy the video content being broadcast over these NHL scoreboards. In older models of scoreboards, these fans would have to crane their necks to get a glimpse of the action on the LED screens. This was a problem since most of these fans are sitting in the premium seats. Having these two LED panels mounted on the underside of the scoreboard allows them to easily see the action and enhances their hockey experience as well.
