University of Connecticut Drops Puck at New Toscano Family Ice Forum Integrated centerhung, ribbon, scoring, entrance displays installed for 2023 venue opening The University of Connecticut hockey opened the Toscano Family Ice Forum with an integrated centerhung, ribbon, scoreboards and entrance display system installed prior to the puck dropping for the first game on January 13.   Hanging above center ice is a nine-display centerhung. Each of the four main video screens measures roughly 10 feet high by 18 feet wide. The centerhung also includes corner wedge between the main boards, and a ring display mounted below. All nine displays feature 5.9-millimeter pixel layouts for excellent image clarity and contrast.   Three ribbon displays featuring the same 5.9-millimeter pixel spacing were also installed at the venue to provide additional opportunities. One at the north end of the venue and one along each side of the rink.   Welcoming fans into the arena, a large LED video wall was installed in the main entrance stairway to connect with and energize fans as they arrive for UCONN hockey games. This display measures approximately 12 feet high by 8 feet wide and features a tight 2.5-millimeter pixel spacing for crisp, clear imagery visible at mere feet away from the display face.   To integrate the video and scoring equipment, Daktronics installed a complete Show Control solution. This industry-leading control system provides a combination of display control software, world-class video processing, data integration and playback hardware that forms a powerful yet user-friendly production solution.
