QUALITY, CONVIENCE AND UPSCALE IMAGE IN A SINGLE
PACKAGE
Shook designed and built this 53’
long specialty trailer for the Diamond Vision Systems Division of
Mitsubishi Electric Power Products Inc., who in turn
provided it to their customer, Texas A&M Athletics.
Capable of operation in winds of
up to 40mph, the screen can be raised 30’ above the ground
and rotated in any direction by Shook’s unique telescoping
mast system. The exceptionally vivid Mitsubishi Diamond
Visionâ LED screen is 26’ wide and 14’ tall. A complete TV
Broadcast Production Studio is also on board, enclosed in a
19’ housing on the front of the trailer. A 70kw generator
and full length retractable canvas cover complete the
package.
In order to fit neatly on the trailer
and be legal for over-the-road transport, the giant screen
has to split in half. Precise realignment of the two screens
each time it is deployed is essential for proper operation.
“Ease of use and safety were the two main factors driving us
to incorporate PLC controls” says Heaney. The
operator has complete control over the mast and screen
system via a handheld touch-screen control panel. The system
incorporates highly accurate encoders and sensors to
constantly monitor the mast and screen’s position and
movement. The PLC also monitors numerous safety inputs
and will not allow operation if an unsafe condition exists.
