Impact-resistant face and trim
A protective LED mask keeps air-inflated sports balls off the diodes. Micro-grooves help perceived contrast. Perimeter trim protects edges as part of the mechanical design.

Indoor LED jumbotrons
A jumbotron in this work is a large indoor 16:9 LED wall, not a novelty screen. XL AV sizes it to the room, then specifies processing, audio, lighting, and how staff will run events.
Large format that can still be serviced
Cabinets array to common 16:9 sizes from about 116 inches diagonal upward. The wall still has to sit on a structural gym or arena wall and be repaired from the front.
XL AV specifies LUXVISION PROLUX Rugged for indoor sport and mixed-use halls. It is impact-resistant, fanless, and front-serviceable. Outdoor stadium faces are a different LUXVISION family.
Events, not only replay
Live video, replay, sponsor full-screens, and commencement looks are the same canvas if the processor and control path are specified for them. A wall that only works for sport will sit dark for the rest of the calendar.
We survey viewing distance, structure, and power, then commission the operator station with the rest of the room.
Lighting
A large wall in a bright hall cannot be driven to the diode maximum just to compete with house lights. We operate PROLUX Rugged around 2,100 nits and coordinate lighting scenes when control is in the project.
Sound
Large-format video without a speech and program path is incomplete for commencements and events. We specify or integrate audio with the wall.
Control
Event staff need one path for video, audio, and looks. LUXVISION typically uses NovaStar processing. The controller is sized to the pixel map. Training happens at commissioning.
How we deliver the project
We start with the room: dimensions, viewing distance, how it is used, structure, power, and whether audio, lighting, and live video are in the project. Then a specification, coordination with the facilities team, installation, commissioning, and operator training. Spare modules stay on site so a failed cabinet is swapped, not left dark.
Typical uses
- Live video and replay
- Concert and commencement looks
- Sponsor full-screen spots
- School brand films
PROLUX Rugged
The indoor wall
Quarter-turn metal-to-metal modules
Earlier rugged products could lose magnetic modules on a hard hit. PROLUX Rugged uses a quarter-turn metal-to-metal interlock so modules stay on the wall and still service from the front.
7-year sports-impact warranty
Current PROLUX Rugged warranty context is 7 years, including impact from air-inflated sports balls.
Full front service
Modules, cabling, and feeder access are designed from the front. That is required when a gym display is mounted tight to a wall with no rear aisle.
Fanless thermal design
Gyms collect dust. Fans ingest that dust and then fail. PROLUX Rugged uses the cabinet as a heat sink with Mean Well supplies. There is no cooling fan in the documented architecture.
Under-driven, efficient LEDs
Pixels capable of about 3,900 nits are operated around 2,100 nits. The intent is less heat and less electrical infrastructure than driving the diodes to their maximum.

Questions
How large can the wall be?
Cabinets are 1280 by 720 mm and 1600 by 900 mm, both 16:9. Common walls run from about 116 inches to about 347 inches diagonal by arraying cabinets. Size follows viewing distance.
Is this an outdoor stadium jumbotron?
No. PROLUX Rugged is indoor. Weather-exposed stadium faces are a different product family.
Can it run live camera?
Yes, when cameras and processing are in the project. Say so in the inquiry.
How is a large wall serviced?
Full front service and onsite spare modules. A failed cabinet is swapped, not left dark.
