Daktronics delivers a high-resolution viewing experience to Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical High School.
The company, in collaboration with Pro AV Systems, has manufactured and installed a new dvLED display for Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical High School in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The display was installed during the summer months and was commissioned ahead of the start of the school year.
When Greater New Bedford asked us for a solution that would increase student engagement and immediately draw attention to school messaging, we knew Daktronics was the ideal choice. Their products deliver not only exceptional quality, but also the engineering expertise, reliable support and proven performance our customers expect. It’s the perfect combination of value and capability in a comprehensive package, said Mary Finn, education channel manager for Pro AV Systems.

The display features Daktronics’ latest dvLED innovation with COB (Chip On Board) technology. It measures approximately 3.35 metres high by 6.10 metres wide and features a tight 1.5-millimetre pixel pitch to deliver higher-resolution imagery. This technology provides a more robust solution, limiting the risk of damage to the display from accidental contact during use or installation.
Located in the school’s main hallway and atrium area, the display is visible to students throughout the school day and during class changes, delivering strong day-to-day impact. It can be used to provide relevant school updates, share news items and deliver other special messages as needed.
I have personally known and worked with Pro AV Systems in New England for many years. It has been exciting to help them grow their AV integration business, as Daktronics and Pro AV Systems have completed several projects together. We look forward to continuing to strengthen this relationship, said Michael Treacy, Pro AV Channel Sales Manager at Daktronics.
Daktronics’ range of products featuring COB technology spans pixel pitches from 2.5 millimetres down to 0.7 millimetres and incorporates enhanced component reliability. This technology generates less heat at the display surface and eliminates wire bonds to increase reliability. It also reduces power consumption, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership over time, and features a Daktronics-designed encapsulant for improved contrast.
