BRONX, NY — Yankee Stadium opened the season with the latest HD Diamond Vision™ display in center field from Mitsubishi Electric, which has been providing LED video displays for the team since 1983 and for major league baseball since 1980. The screen features 1080 resolution from more than eight million LEDs (light-emitting diodes) for replays, updates from around the league and messaging. Measuring 100-feet wide and nearly 60-feet tall, the Diamond Vision™ is longer than the distance between the bases and offers 5,925 square-feet of high-definition display area, using 8,601,600 LEDs with viewing angles that allow for images visible from nearly every seat in the ballpark. The LED display used previously was less than one-fourth as wide and had 486,400 LEDs.
Mitsubishi Electric’s DSC2 digital display controller will drive the Yankees’ new Diamond Vision display. It can provide picture-in-picture type technology with the flexibility to show one large 1080 HD image or up to four simultaneous 1080 HD images.
