Mitsubishi Electric's Diamond Vision Systems Nabs an Emmy at CES

January 16, 2012

(SPORTS TECHNOLOGY)

For 20 years, large-scale video displays from Mitsubishi (News - Alert) Electric have been transforming indoor and outdoor events into spectacular shows. Accordingly, the iconic display system that debuted at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles in 1980 has bagged several awards. The latest award that Mitsubishi has nabbed is the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) 63rd Annual Technology & Engineering Emmy Award for its Diamond Vision system.


The company received this ward on Jan. 12 as part of the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES (News - Alert)) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Mitsubishi’s Diamond Vision, which boasts giant display screens that feature sharp images, wider viewing angles, higher brightness and resolution and LEDerAd electronic marquee, has received several awards and honors in the past. Diamond Vision has been recognized by the Guinness Book of Records for its high-definition video displays at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas and Turner Field in Atlanta, and Sports Business Journal's 2010 "Best in Sports Technology" award. The winning of an Emmy reaffirms Diamond Vision Systems’ leadership position.

“Mitsubishi Electric (News - Alert) is honored to be recognized by the Academy for our decades of leadership in large-screen display technology,” General Manager of Mitsubishi Electric Power Products' Diamond Vision Systems Division Mark Foster noted in a statement. “Advanced technologies we've developed for stadium and arena displays, such as wider viewing angles and higher brightness and resolution, are now found in our home theater products, such as our 92-inch 3D HDTVs and 3D projectors.”  

“The National Academy's Engineering Achievement Committee is pleased to honor technology companies who have set the standard for much of what we do in broadcast television and to those that continue to broaden what is possible in bringing home to the viewer the best that television has to offer,” said incoming Committee Chairman Robert P. Seidel, vice president of CBS Engineering and Advanced Technology.

Premiere venues boasting Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision displays include Fenway Park, Yankee Stadium and the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

In September of 2011, Mitsubishi introduced its DiamondPlus 1100 modular, a three-phase Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) unit. This green and smart DiamondPlus 1100 modular, according to its maker, offers efficiencies up to 93.4 percent, a high 0.9 output power factor and lightweight, compact design.
