Gymnasium LED displays

A gym is PE, sport, assembly, and rental on the same floor. XL AV specifies an indoor LED wall that can do that work, with scoring as a layout and audio, lighting, and control specified with the display.

Indoor AV system specified by XL AV

One wall for the whole gym calendar

A gymnasium display that only works on Friday night is unfinished. Staff need a wall they can use for PE, open gym, a varsity game, and an assembly without calling a vendor to change modes.

XL AV specifies LUXVISION PROLUX Rugged for that room: Canadian-made indoor dvLED, P3.3 or P4, impact-resistant mask and trim, full front service. Score, clock, announcements, and sponsor content share the same 16:9 canvas.

Built for a room that takes a beating

Basketballs, volleyballs, and daily PE are the normal load in a gym. XL AV specifies LUXVISION PROLUX Rugged for impact-prone indoor rooms. A sealed numeric board handles score only and does not run presentations, PE, or the rest of the calendar.

PROLUX Rugged uses quarter-turn metal-to-metal modules, a protective face and perimeter trim, fanless Mean Well supplies, and a 7-year warranty context that includes impact from air-inflated sports balls over 6 inches in diameter. XL AV surveys, installs, commissions, and trains the people who will run it.

Lighting

Gym lighting is often left on for PE and mixed for events. The wall has to stay readable without being driven to its maximum. PROLUX Rugged pixels capable of about 3,900 nits are operated around 2,100 nits. When lighting control is in the project, we coordinate game, assembly, and open-gym scenes with the display.

Sound

PA, program audio, and a game horn belong with the display when audio is in scope. We specify them with the wall or integrate the system already in the room so speech reaches the far baseline.

Control

PE staff, game operators, and rental users should not each need a different remote. We specify a control path so score, video, audio, and lights can be run as one system. LUXVISION typically uses NovaStar processing. Operators are trained at commissioning.

How we deliver the project

We start with the room: dimensions, viewing distance, how it is used, structure, power, and whether audio, lighting, and live video are in the project. Then design documents, coordination with the facilities team, installation, commissioning, and operator training. Spare modules stay on site so a failed cabinet is swapped, not left dark.

Typical uses

  • Basketball and volleyball
  • PE and open gym
  • Assemblies and graduations
  • Community rentals

PROLUX Rugged

The indoor wall

Canadian-made PROLUX

PROLUX is LUXVISION's Canadian-made family. XL AV specifies it as a North American-supported gym platform.

Impact-resistant face and trim

A protective LED mask keeps air-inflated sports balls off the diodes. Micro-grooves help perceived contrast. Perimeter trim protects edges as part of the mechanical design.

Quarter-turn metal-to-metal modules

Earlier rugged products could lose magnetic modules on a hard hit. PROLUX Rugged uses a quarter-turn metal-to-metal interlock so modules stay on the wall and still service from the front.

7-year sports-impact warranty

Current PROLUX Rugged warranty context is 7 years, including impact from air-inflated sports balls over 6 inches in diameter, subject to manufacturer terms.

Full front service

Modules, cabling, and feeder access are designed from the front. That is required when a gym display is mounted tight to a wall with no rear aisle.

Fanless thermal design

Gyms collect dust. Fans ingest that dust and then fail. PROLUX Rugged uses the cabinet as a heat sink with Mean Well supplies. There is no cooling fan in the documented architecture.

Questions

Is a gym LED wall the same as a scoreboard?

Scoring is one job on the wall. The same display runs PE, assemblies, and rentals. If you only need a clock, say so. Most gyms need the rest of the calendar too.

What size wall do we need?

Size follows farthest seat and whether score, clock, and video share the canvas. We map that from the room.

Can it sit tight to a structural wall?

Yes. PROLUX Rugged is full front service, including feeder cabling, so a rear aisle is not required.

Is this an indoor product?

Yes. Weather-exposed stadium faces use a different LUXVISION family.
