Giant video displays powered by TDK-Lambda
    Date Announced: 07 Jan 2010
    There has been a lot of TV coverage recently concerning the Dallas Cowboys giant video displays at their new stadium in Arlington. The $40m, four-sided, high-definition Diamond Vision video board, which is built by Mitsubishi Electric, uses 22,000 TDK-Lambda ZWS power supplies to light the 25 million Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) needed to create the image on the screen.
    
    As part of the team¡¯s move from their previous home in Irving, the recently opened $1.1bn stadium sports a retractable roof from which the world¡¯s largest HDTV screens hang. The four panels, which together weigh 600 metric tons (600,000kg), are suspended approximately 30 metres above midfield. The sideline panel stretches from one 20-yard line to the other and measures 21.76 x 48.32m; it has just been recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the world¡¯s largest High Definition (HD) video screen.     Already Cowboys fans have watched players like Marion Barber, Felix Jones and Tony Romo in a way that no fan has ever seen. ¡°For high profile installations such as these, the display manufacturer wanted a reliable, quality product to power its LEDs,¡± says David Norton, vice president of marketing at TDK-Lambda Americas. ¡°That¡®s why they chose ZWS power supplies from TDK-Lambda.¡±
    
    Another record breaker, this time recognised as the world¡¯s highest resolution LED display, is located in the New York Yankee Stadium. Here 8,590 ZWS power supplies are used to power the eight and a half million LEDs used to render the image onto the screen. ¡°Like the Dallas Cowboys displays,¡± says Norton, ¡°TDK-Lambda power supplies were selected for their long-term reliability and quality.¡±
