BROOKINGS, S.D., June 24, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Daktronics (Nasdaq:DAKT) today announced the release of its new Show Control System (SCS), a display control solution that merges operator software, clip playback, live video and deep data integration into a fully integrated package. The SCS can function as a stand-alone control solution or work in combination with other production devices to provide single-point control for LED video displays, LED ribbon boards, LED marquees and flat-panel digital display networks.
Powering the system is the SCS Software Suite, a collection of design and operation software specifically developed for live events. The Content Studio provides the ability to quickly composite text, graphics, video and real-time data while the Display Studio delivers immediate, property-wide presentation control through a variety of innovative features including user-defined workspaces, configurable smart buttons and convenient dashboard widgets.
The Daktronics SCS software suite also features a new generation of tools for generating playback reports, for scheduling display content and for managing and presenting real-time information - including scores, statistics, times and news feeds.
"The system hits the mark for both display operators and sales and marketing personnel," said Tony Kuck, Daktronics SCS Product Manager. "We listened closely to our customers before and during the development of the SCS," explained Kuck. "The operators asked us for ease-of-use and integration with other production devices, such as switchers and CGs. The marketers were focused on sellable inventory and how the display presentation could be packaged for sponsors. We feel the SCS will deliver exceptional value and new opportunities for both groups."
The Daktronics Show Control System is the latest addition to a wide variety of Daktronics control and display technologies. For more information on the Show Control System, visit www.daktronics.com/show.
