Daktronics Inc. has designed, manufactured and installed new integrated video, scoring, and timing systems at The University of Texas at Austin (UT). Texas has upgraded the Lee & Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center and the Penick-Allison Tennis Center with multiple Daktronics video displays and message centers that will allow spectators and participants to see up to the second video and statistical information.

Both facilities are home to UT Athletics varsity men's and women's teams, UT Recreational Sports programming activities for UT students, faculty and staff, and sports activity classes conducted by the UT Department of Kinesiology. The Jamail Texas Swimming Center also houses the University's club program, Longhorn Aquatics. UT Athletics funded the upgrades.

]Both new video displays in the Jamail Texas Swimming Center utilize Daktronics light emitting diode (LED) technology. The larger of the two screens measures almost 25 feet wide by 10 feet high. The other board is approximately 18 feet wide by 9 feet high. Each of the new displays feature custom truss accents above the video screens, proudly displaying the burnt orange Texas Longhorns logo and name.

Daktronics is also upgrading the swim timing systems in the Jamail Texas Swimming Center. New Relay Take Off Platforms (RTOP) make the facility one of the most technologically advanced aquatics centers in the nation. New OmniSport 2000 timing consoles, T-6000 series touchpads and wireless diving judges' consoles have also been installed as part of this large-scale renovation.

"The aquatics installation has been very extensive," said Dan Fjeldheim, Daktronics Sales. "It is very unique because of the two video displays we have installed. Along with the aquatics project, the tennis facility is a major installation for Daktronics. In the tennis facility, there is a full matrix display along with 12 auxiliary scoreboards."

The 12 TN-2604 scoreboards installed for every court are 3 feet, 6 inches tall and 9 feet wide. These displays utilize Daktronics proven LED technology, providing benefits to spectators and participants at Penick-Allison Tennis Center.
