Q Arena Renovations (scoreboard, court, ...) and In-Game Experience

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Edit: Nevermind, then!

Per Cavs.com, the largest in-arena HD scoreboard in the country:
Seeing the Cavs in action at The Q this season is going to be BIG. Actually, it’s going to be a WHOLE LOT BIGGER when fans find themselves sitting in front of 5,550 total square feet of LED technology, aka, the largest HD scoreboard in any arena in the country! Quicken Loans Arena’s brand new center-hung scoreboard, armed with the fan-favorite flaming sabers, and its new audio/visual systems will make their collective debut when the Cavs 2014-15 season tips off vs. the New York Knicks on Thursday, October 30th at 8:00 p.m.

And also, new ribbon boards, new audio (as we knew), and new video control room for an all-around updated experience:
BRILLIANT. In addition to the new scoreboard, The Q will be illuminated with a grand total of more than 11,682 square feet of new LED displays that have been installed in the arena’s seating bowl and concourses. This included updating the four corner boards and 360-degree fascia ribbon in the seating area and replacing traditional backlit signage on the concourses with high resolution LED technology. The new technology will be synchronized through ANC’s vSOFT™ operating system to create an immersive experience for fans.

An all-new control system, for both the scoreboard and LED displays, was installed to allow full integration of live video, team and player statistics, social media information, fan messages, closed captioning of arena announcements, and more.

“Partners with The Q for more than a decade, we understood the facility wanted to set a new standard for live events with not only the largest center-hung displays, but also a functional system that fans can experience from every seat,” said Jerome Cifarelli, president and chief executive officer of ANC. “Our Quicken Loans Arena custom-designed video display system, combined with the power of our award-winning control system, will forever transform the arena atmosphere.”

CRYSTAL CLEAR. The new sound system will provide fans with cutting-edge clarity that replicates touring concert technology. Features include advanced audio digital processing, six line array speaker clusters and additional speakers under the scoreboard. The sound system was designed and installed by Parsons Audio.

GOT IT COVERED. In January 2015, The Q’s all-new state of the art HD video production control room will be up and running. The system will feature a 6 ME Grass Valley video switcher, five cameras, including two wireless cameras for crowd interaction and contests, two Dyno six channel replay units, including super-slo options, and four scoreboard mounted robotic cameras to capture unique views of game action and additional crowd shots. The scoreboard mounted cameras, the most in the NBA, will provide multiple views of critical plays for both fans and referees. This HD video production system was designed by Comprehensive Technical Group (CTG), one of the leading systems integrators in the country, in concert with the Cavaliers’ QTV Video Engineering Team.

“During the Cavs and Monsters seasons and for all events hosted at Quicken Loans Arena, these upgrades will help make the fan and event attendee experience nothing short of amazing. What is on the horizon for our city is very exciting and all of Cleveland can be proud that The Q ranks as one of the best arenas in the country,” said Komoroski.

I love that we are busting out the on court projections and new scoreboard now that our team has title hopes... I personally think it would kind of suck to have all that fancy and new stuff w/ a shitty team like the 76ers..

It looks cool. I think the Hawks have it as well, not sure.
 
Damn our intro is really going to be insane this year. The 3D thing for Big-Z was pretty damn cool. That's going to be every game, and also this new HD screen? Makes those nosebleeds seats a little more palatable. Also makes the players checking the replays in game much more accessible.

Dude, just use the URL. No need to embed anymore.
 
Actually I hope the Cavs are able to do a practice under the new scoreboard before the game. There could be glare/reflection or lighting differences from what it used to be. Might even be a home court advantage against teams not used to it.

BTW, are backboards made out of non-glare material? I would assume so. But don't know for sure.

There is no such thing a credibly on ranking court designs, it's a freaking joke column just like his column on figuring out The Pelicans new nickname last year.

The word credibility has no place in this conversation, anywhere.

I'm pretty sure that was the joke...
