Mitsubishi Electric Achieves another NFL First at CenturyLink Field
Mitsubishi Electric Power Products’ Diamond Vision displays introduce new viewing
experience to Seattle Seahawks, Sounders FC fans
Warrendale, Pa. – March 15, 2012 – A new high-definition video display system that is the
first to bring 10mm (ODT10) SMD technology to the NFL market has been installed at
CenturyLink Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks and Sounders FC.
Mitsubishi Electric Power Products’ Diamond Vision® Systems Division installed an ODT10
Surface Mounted Device (SMD) display at the south end of the stadium, and an ODX8 screen at
the north end.
The new ODT10 display will be the highest pixel density display in the NFL stadium market.
The new video boards are the same size and layout as the previous boards: in the north end,
approximately 44 feet wide by 50 feet high and in the south end, approximately 84 feet wide by
24 feet high.
“Mitsubishi Electric Power Products’ Diamond Vision is again part of another industry and NFL
first,” said Todd Stih, Diamond Vision national sales manager. “Our advanced ODT10 and X8
LED products are fulfilling the vision that the Seattle Seahawks and Sounders FC have for their
stadium and fans”
The X8 display is the most advanced lamp-based LED product produced by Mitsubishi Electric
and pushes the boundaries of LED technology. It provides ultra wide viewing angles, a high LED
fill ratio and high contrast compared to other products, with the lowest power consumption yet.
“Seahawks and Sounders FC fans will see enhanced clarity and color on the new video boards at
CenturyLink Field,” said Seahawks and Sounders FC President Peter McLoughlin. “The upgrade
in technology reinforces our commitment to provide the best possible game day experience and
amenities for our fans.”
