Media, Entertainment Signing, and Building Controls Systems

Montreal, QC

IBI designed and oversaw the implementation of all of the Electronic Systems in the Molson’s Center including the video scoreboard, broadcast television facilities, all media and press facilities, building security and controls, monitoring of the building structure, telephony, promotional signing and the video scoreboard. The video scoreboard features an octagonal scoreboard containing four full-motion video screens and four bulb-matrix displays, along with the related game statistics displays. The system also features a fully equipped television production/control room to drive the video screens. Additionally, a secondary control room located in the press-box area provides facilities for operators of the bulb-matrix displays and the game statistics displays. The scoreboard system is integrated with the data and broadcast television infrastructure throughout the arena to support distributed control of the scoreboard and full connection with the television studios and production trucks during events. The system is also capable of operating with its own video cameras during non-broadcast events.

As part of the scope IBI assessed the financial considerations of the technology investment. This assessment addressed issues of revenue potential, operating and maintenance costs and speed of change over for different events
