Texas Christian U, GoVision Partner on Daktronics LED Panels GoVision, a provider of large-scale LED video walls and mobile units, has partnered with Texas Christian University in a mutually beneficial revenue-sharing agreement tied to the school's new Daktronics PST-12HD LED scoreboard screen. In a unique business partnership, GoVision will add the modular video panels to its rental inventory during the football team's off-season and other down times, and share a portion of its revenues with the university. "It's a true win-win partnership that benefits both parties," said Chris Curtis, president of GoVision."We get additional state-of-the-art inventory for our clients without the capital outlay. TCU gets a revenue windfall from equipment that would otherwise be sitting unused." Earlier this year, TCU re-fitted the scoreboard at Amon G. Carter Stadium to accommodate the new 18' x 32' modular screen it purchased from Daktronics. The panels match GoVision's existing PST-12HD screens, making them an ideal fit for the company's rental inventory. "We're very pleased with our partnership with GoVision," said Danny Morrison, athletic director for TCU. "We've had a great relationship with Chris and his team for years and trust them implicitly. The new screen is fantastic, but it wasn't inexpensive. Our ability to offset some of those costs by sharing revenue with GoVision is good for the university and our athletic program." As the lightest-weight panel of its kind, the PST-12HD is designed for concert touring, corporate events, award shows, festivals, and sporting events. The product features 7,500 nits of intensity, color calibration for cross-rental, a revolutionary pixel layout for greater contrast, superior viewing angles and 19-bit image processing for industry-leading image quality. Building with thin, light panels speeds the setup and teardown process, minimizes cabling requirements, reduces overall display weight and provides an economical crating and shipping solution. "The PST series has been receiving very positive reviews from the rental and staging industry," said Myron Linde, Daktronics' mobile and modular sales manager. "The TCU-GoVision partnership is a truly innovative approach that should serve as a model for similar sharing agreements."
