Brookings, South Dakota-based Daktronics was selected by UK-based Forrest Media to install two LED video displays outside the SSE Hydro Arena in Glasgow, Scotland.

The installation of two 8-millimeter LED video displays, the first of their kind in all of Europe—according to Daktronics—expands Forrest Media's network to 19 giant displays throughout the UK.

Each display measures approximately 13' tall x 26 ½' wide and features 8-millimeter line spacing for higher resolution. The displays are positioned near The SSE Hydro Arena and on the soon-to-be-built site of the first new build Radisson Red Hotel in Europe, which will also be the first hotel development by the Forrest Group.

The displays are controlled via a Scala solution, enabling full control of branding, advertising and other content.

“It has been a great pleasure to work on such a wonderful opportunity,” says Ewan Prentice, Daktronics sales representative. “I must thank the Forrest Group for allowing Daktronics the chance to install our first 8-millimeter product in the UK, especially at such a prestigious location. We are already working on our next opportunity together and I know Daktronics very much value the trust the Forrest Group have shown to us as we begin our partnership together.”
