NanoLumens® Displays Take Center Stage at TD Garden in Boston

Underscoring the increasingly important role its visual display solutions are playing in arenas around the country, NanoLumens®, the world’s leading manufacturer and marketer of indoor LED display solutions, today announced that 40 of its NanoSlim™ LED displays have been installed at TD Garden, with more to come, as part of a two-year comprehensive arena-wide renovation project.

What’s more, according to NanoLumens Vice President of Regional Sales Dana Michaelis, the NanoLumens solution at TD Garden includes the world’s first installation of the company’s next generation NanoLumens Transparent Visualization displays.  On display in Legends, TD Garden’s newly renovated and largest restaurant, the new NanoLumens Transparent Visualization display utilizes state-of-the-art nano-optical particle diffusion.  The NanoLumens Transparent Visualization displays allow objects to seamlessly float in space and are part of an increasing line of large-scale visualization solutions now being developed by the pioneering tech leader that introduced the world to flexible LED displays.

“NanoLumens isn’t simply a manufacturer,” Michaelis said today.  “NanoLumens is a forward-looking visual solutions visionary that has a very deep research and development capability.  We are demonstrating this capability in a significant way with the installation of our first Transparent Visualization displays in a major arena installation.  Earlier this year, we installed our first Transparent Visualization display at a major cosmetics company’s retail locations, but today marks the first major commercial installation of multiple Transparent Visual displays.”

The NanoLumens displays were installed at TD Garden by HB Communications, the North Haven, Connecticut based audio-visual systems integrator that prides itself on creating human connections in a virtual world.  “Our partnership with NanoLumens allowed us to think very strategically and very creatively to develop a complete visualization solution that would redefine the fan experience at TD Garden,” explained HB Communications CEO Dana Barron.  “NanoLumens’s has long offered customers the most selection of display options in any size, shape, or curvature, but the commercialization of its transparent visualization technology takes the company to a whole new level.”

“Delaware North and the Jacobs family are committed to bringing fans a first class experience at the TD Garden,” said Lorraine Spadaro, VP of Technology at TD Garden.  "The Nanolumens technology provides exceptional functionality, delivering architecturally flexible display canvas for our hi-res digital content for our fans and corporate clients. These major investments in cutting edge technology and infrastructure have helped us maintain the arena’s industry-leading status as we approach our 20-year anniversary.”  

This privately financed, two-year transformation at TD Garden includes renovations of the level 4 and 7 concourse, development of a new ProShop on level 2 of the arena, comprehensive renovation of Legends, and upgraded technology infrastructure throughout.  Despite a busy construction schedule, the TD Garden will remain open throughout the renovations with limited construction impacts.

Design of the renovations to the concourse, the arena’s largest fan gathering areas, is being led by Rossetti Architects, a renowned sports and hospitality architecture firm.  Rossetti’s goal is to infuse the rich history of the City of Boston, the Bruins and the Celtics with modern technology that activates fan engagement physically and digitally and that brings sponsorship activation to life. 

Education and New Technologies Will Be The Focus Of The Stampede Big Book of AV Tour Stop in Boston!

Boston is a city renowned for its excellence in higher education and incubation of new technologies, so it makes perfect sense that the 2014 Stampede Big Book of AV (BBOAV) tour will celebrate both education and technology when it docks at the Westin Boston Waterfront in Boston, Massachusetts on April 17th.
 
“We’re putting added emphasis on presentation and training sessions at the Boston tour stop,” Stampede Presentation Products Inc. President & COO Kevin Kelly stressed today. “As the spring tour has progressed we’ve received more requests from our dealers for more hands-on, information rich sessions that can help them build their businesses. The Boston event is going to be like spending a day back in school but I guarantee you everyone will profit from it!”
 
Boston participants can expect to learn plenty from industry veteran Paul Dragos, who will present “Sony Unified Communications and Video Conferencing Fundamentals for the ProAV Market.” The presentation will unveil Sony Video Conferencing, MediaPointe streaming, Automated Workflow process for content management and Radvision United Communications.
 
Boston will also feature a stimulating afternoon talk with Jim Feldman, Change Management Expert at Shift Happens, who will walk attendees through a path to not only manage change, but also create it.

There will also be two seminars that offer an informative look on innovative new technology in education. The first course, “Tablets in the Education Market,” presented by Brawn Consulting and sponsored by Samsung will provide a new take on digital signage displayed in classrooms.
