Spectrum Partners with Philips Vidiwall for Video Projects

HOUSTON, TX - Spectrum Corporation, a leading manufacturer of scoreboards, timers, clocks, marquees and electronic message displays, today announced that it will partner with Philips Vidiwall, a leading provider of LED displays, for large scale video scoreboard projects.

Philips Vidiwall, a business unit of Royal Philips Electronics, offers a wide range of customized LED video screens for sports, leisure and retail markets. Philips has installed screens in hundreds of high profile locations since the invention by Philips of the first video wall in 1984. Philips provides the vast majority of video screens in the European market, as well as many professional, minor league and Division I Colleges in the United States (Philadelphia Phillies, Clearwater Thrashers, Princeton University and University of Michigan). Philips strength in engineering has led to a number of unique and patented features that improve color, clarity, dependability and lifetime.

Spectrum has long been recognized as the "highest in quality" company when it comes to scoreboards. As video scoreboards become a larger segment of the high school and small college market, Spectrum took the time needed to select a company that could meet this growing demand. Because of Philips reputation for top quality, Spectrum is confident it can exceed customer's high expectations for a dynamic product. "We are excited about our recent partnership with Philips, because it allows us to bring a (high end) 'professional grade' video board into the High School marketplace. Now we can offer not only the best scoreboard, but also a video display that has unmatched color and clarity from anything currently in the High School Market," said Dan Boehm, VP Sales & Marketing.

Philips is equally excited because Spectrum helps to open the door into the high school and small college market segment, while they continue to work the professional market. Philips Vidiwall and Spectrum Corporation are commited to quality and customer satisfaction. Every installation is a presentation of Philips to the world, so be assured that there is never a compromise on quality and excellence.
