standards. The following TV features and characteristics are recommended for a
StadiumVision deployment:
• Digital High Definition (HD)
• Display Technology: LCD or LED. Avoid plasma as it is prone to screen burn-in.
• Display Size: 32 in. or greater
• Video Input:
o
HDMI is the preferred input as it carries HD video as well as audio.
o
DVI is also a good option. An HDMI to DVI adapter as well as RCA audio
cables are needed.
o
Component should only be used as a last resort. It requires a custom cable
as well as manual DMP configuration.
• TV Control: RS-232 (mandatory)
o
Discrete Power ON and Power OFF control codes
o
Relative (up/down) or absolute (set level) volume control codes
o
Mute. Either discrete (On/Off) or toggle control codes
o
Retrieve TV status (on/off, firmware ver., S/N, etc.)
o
Lock front panel button and IR input.

Most often, content is web-based or animated in flash. The nature of these media types
means that some pixels are not updated frequently in digital signage. LCDs are less
susceptible to burn-in than plasma displays are. Although image persistence is
sometimes a problem on LCD displays, it is almost always self-correcting and is unlikely
to occur if you follow manufacturer guidelines for managing your displays correctly.
