“When we started working in partnership with screens’ manufacturer Daktronics to come up with a way to process Circa’s massive new sportsbook, we knew that our Aquilon processor was uniquely up to the task,” says Dan Benjamin, Analog Way’s Regional Sales Manager for the Western US and Canada. “It was the perfect application for Aquilon based on our unique ability to offer the most pixel throughput on the market.”
According to Benjamin, “the main, spectacular sportsbook LED wall posed some really fun challenges. First, it is a gigantic display canvas of more than 66 million pixels, which requires a processor to be able to output multiple 4K60 signals in perfect sync with extremely low latency. Second, Circa wanted to be able to show dozens of windows of live sports content. We were able to design a custom LivePremier™ Aquilon system to meet and exceed these challenges.”
“Aquilon provides high-quality scaling so big games on the main screen really look larger than life,” notes Andrzej Lubaszka, Analog Way’s Chief Technologist who was instrumental in the design considerations and commissioning of the project. “Championship games displayed in one or two windows across the screen are mind-blowingly huge – the ultimate viewing experience.” Aquilon also supports the main screen’s need for a flexible configuration on any given night: up to 24 events can be shown in windows simultaneously.
Although much smaller than the massive main screen, the sportsbook’s odds screen stands out from others guests may have seen. “Typically, odds screens are low resolution and may be hard to see,” Lubaszka says. “At Circa | Sports the odds screen is high resolution and high visibility with Aquilon processing helping to provide very flexible display options.”
