Video Boards
Video Boards, also known as jumbotrons or digital displays, are large electronic screens used in stadiums, arenas, and event venues to show live action, replays, advertisements, and crowd engagement content. These high-definition displays help enhance the spectator experience by providing clear views of the action from any seat in the venue. Stadium managers and technical directors rely on these systems to generate revenue through advertising and improve audience engagement during events. Similar terms include LED displays, digital scoreboards, or electronic displays.
