Bluffton, Indiana-based Neoti, a national LED screen rental and sales company, recently installed an LED display system inside the locker room of the Anderson Family Football Complex at the University of Kansas.

The seamless, ribbon-style, narrow-pixel pitch display was an upgrade to the backlit nameplates above each of the lockers. The display consists of Coleder Ace Block 1.56mm panels linked together above 13 different locker sections that range in width from 3 feet to 50 feet. The total combined width of the entire display measures 334.6 feet, while the total combined dimensions measure 65,280 pixels wide by 216 pixels high. This gives the entire display a pixel density of over 14 million pixels.

In order to install the display above the current lockers, Neoti created a custom bracket system, then collaborated with Coleder to manufacture a wiring system designed for the unique single-panel-tall installation. Neoti also utilized multiple media servers with 12 4K-capable outputs to provide KU with an easy-to-use content mapping system. Finally, Neoti employees trained KU staff on content production and remote content control so that they could quickly produce new content using a laptop or mobile device, as well as instantly change the display in order to match locker-room lighting or other video effects.

“We wanted something more dynamic and engaging,” says Jeff Love, director of football technology at Kansas. “Something that would give the room that extra ‘wow’ factor. Although the scale and resolution of the display posed some complex challenges, Neoti was able to come up with a custom solution that addressed all of our needs.”
