Lighthouse LED Screens Will Continue to Enthrall Fans Throughout the NFL

Season

HONG KONG, Nov. 20 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Lighthouse Technologies

announced today that it has upgraded its north screen at Seattle Seahawks'

Qwest Field stadium with the latest generation of its M4 LED video

technology.

With advances in technology, this latest announcement sees Lighthouse

Technologies replace the intelligent modules of its existing 16mm pixel

pitch displays with its new, advanced M4 innovation.

Comments Lighthouse Technologies international project manager Mr. Curie

Chan, "As a result, the upgraded LED displays will increase the reliability

and durability of the existing systems.

"In addition, the installation of this new hardware will help the

stadium deliver higher resolution video and graphical images, in turn

improving the picture clarity for fans."

According to Mr. Chan, Lighthouse's giant video boards at Qwest Field

today represent some of the largest viewing surfaces in the NFL offering

spectators seated in the 67,000 capacity stadium the opportunity to enjoy

panoramic views of all the action, including crystal clear live images and

sporting replays.

The two video screens, positioned on the north and south sides of the

stadium, were originally designed, engineered and installed by Lighthouse in

2002. The south board, measuring approximately 84 feet wide by 24 feet

high, displays video images in a super landscape format. In contrast, the

north tower's board is the first ever portrait layout measuring

approximately 44 feet wide by nearly 50 feet high.

Commenting on behalf of Qwest Field, Mr. Kurt Shaffer, Director of

Technical Operations, stated that since the upgrade, the Lighthouse LED

screens had performed exceptionally well and have greatly enhanced the fans'

game day experience.

He comments, "Since I have a rather critical eye when it comes to LED

products what we have now is what I would call a Grade A display and I don't

say that lightly. The uniformity is quite impressive and I'm sure our fans

have noticed this also."

Mr. Shaffer states that a further benefit was that the upgrade work

conducted by Lighthouse Technologies had not disrupted any events at Qwest

Field.

"The system upgrades at Qwest Field stadium were a massive undertaking,"

stressed Mr. Shaffer, "but we are pleased to say that the project went

according to plan without delay or disruption."

"Subsequently, we are delighted to have had the opportunity to work with

Lighthouse Technologies again," he concluded, whilst stating that he hoped

that the cutting-edge technology would continue to entertain Seattle

Seahawks' followers for many years to come.
