LED scoreboards for gymnasiums

XL AV designs education gym scoreboard systems around LUXVISION PROLUX Rugged: a 16:9 indoor video wall for scoring, game presentation, and assemblies, with speech and program audio specified as part of the same installation.

Indoor AV system specified by XL AV

Video scoreboard for school gyms

XL AV specifies LUXVISION PROLUX Rugged for education gymnasiums. Score, clock, and stats are layouts on the wall. Timeout video, pep rallies, and assemblies use the same canvas.

PROLUX Rugged is an indoor platform with impact-resistant face and trim, quarter-turn front-service modules, fanless Mean Well supplies, and a 7-year warranty context that includes impact from air-inflated balls over 6 inches in diameter. Known pitches are P3.3 and P4.

Integrated audio with the wall

Speech for announcements and assemblies, program playback, and a game horn are specified with the display when audio is in scope. Gain structure and loudspeaker coverage are set so the back row can understand the room.

Where a PA system already exists, XL AV integrates it with the wall and operator path instead of leaving audio as a separate unfinished piece of work.

Lighting

PE and game lighting are often left bright. PROLUX Rugged is operated around 2,100 nits for indoor readability. Lighting scenes for game, timeout, and assembly are specified when lighting control is in the project.

Sound

Speech reinforcement, program audio, and game horn are designed with the wall. Loudspeakers, DSP, and microphone or announcement inputs are selected for the gym size and how staff run events.

Control

Scoring layouts, video sources, and audio presets share an operator path that athletic and facilities staff can run after training. LUXVISION typically uses NovaStar processing sized to the pixel map.

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

  • Game scoring and shot-clock layouts
  • Timeout and pep-rally video
  • Assembly presentation
  • Integrated gym PA and program audio

PROLUX Rugged

The indoor wall

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.

Under-driven, efficient LEDs

Pixels capable of about 3,900 nits are operated around 2,100 nits. The intent is less heat and less electrical infrastructure than driving the diodes to their maximum.

Questions

How is scoring presented?

Score, clock, and stats are layouts on the PROLUX Rugged 16:9 wall. Dedicated digit clocks can be integrated when the facility still requires them.

Does the project include audio?

Audio is specified with the wall when speech, program, or a game horn is in scope. Existing PA can be integrated when that is the better path.

What pitches are available?

Known PROLUX Rugged gym pitches are P3.3 (3.333 mm) and P4 (4.0 mm). Selection follows viewing distance.

Indoor or outdoor?

PROLUX Rugged is an indoor platform. Weather-exposed stadium faces use a different LUXVISION family.
