"We created the new modular system to meet the needs of the industry - the most common requests being easier setup and less noise," said Mike Cooper, Daktronics modular solutions group manager. "We met and exceeded the challenges with a user-friendly control software, light-weight panels and a zero-noise panel design."

Featuring 3-in-1 surface-mount device (SMD) LEDs, the ultra-light ProTour panel weighs less than 25 pounds (11 kilograms). The light weight, along with a quick-release fasteners and convenient handles, makes display setup and teardown hassle-free. The unique, rugged architecture also allows flexible configuration to create displays of any size or shape.

Redundant panel-to-panel signal optimizes system reliability and display diagnostics provides active monitoring of display operation and troubleshooting support. If a panel is damaged during an event, its quick-release latches and simplistic cabling enables technicians to install a new panel in seconds.

Complimenting the modular display is the V-Tour™ event controller. Designed specifically for the modular market, the controller features a unique design studio that makes setup of even the most complex display arrangement a simple process. Developed for flexibility and ease-of-use, the design studio creates a virtual display and offers setup tools that unlock the power and versatility of the ProTour modular display system.

The V-Link® video processor completes the system by accepting live production feeds and enhancing signals to ensure true-to-life image reproduction on any ProTour modular LED display. The processor handles custom aspect ratios, supports a wide variety of formats and features True Pixel™ processing for brilliant images at every event.
