Synchronised support from Daktronics

Daktronics UK supported the 21st LEN European Junior Synchronised Swimming Championships 2009 at GL1 Leisure Centre in Gloucester in April 2009 where 20 teams from across Europe battled it out for the honours.

These championships are critical in the development of the junior athletes and are an important opportunity to expose British officials and volunteers to international competition as the nation prepares to host the Olympics in just over two years' time.

Supplying the PT10, this mobile and modular video wall, measuring 4m wide by 3m high, displayed instant video replay and live coverage of the event.

Constructed on a purpose-built frame, the video screen was located behind the winners' rostrum. Suspended above the video screen is the AE3140 display, This Amber Monochrome Alphanumeric screen is perfect for use within a 25m swimming pool environment as it can display the competitors' names, sequence, country and judges' scores.

Daktronics' Venus 7000 software controlled the PT10 while the broadcaster connected directly through a V-Link 4500.

All information is controlled from the OmniSport 2000 - Daktronic's timing console - along with the Pro 2000 Interface and V1500 editing software. The V1500 controlled the display, allowing the operator to show animation, graphics, programme sequences and schedule live results.

Judges used the Daktronics JC-100 J-pad, which is capable of either wireless or wired communication back to the OmniSport 2000, so the points from each judge where calculated to show results and totals on the AE3140 scoreboard.
