From the Daktronics.com website, we learn that Idaho State University has joined the digital signage crowd with “Spudvision” from Daktronics:
BROOKINGS, S.D. – Sept. 25, 2009 – Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho, recently chose Daktronics Inc. (Nasdaq-DAKT) of Brookings, S.D., to design, manufacture and install a new light emitting diode (LED) video display for Holt Arena, home of Bengal football and basketball.
“The new video display works out perfectly for the existing scoreboard that we’ve got,” ISU’s Director of Athletics Jeff Tingey said. “We’re very excited about the opportunities it will provide us. This is a big one for recruiting. Every student athlete wants to play a game and score a touchdown or make an interception and look up and see the replay. It’s a way of life these days, and it’s something that we needed very much.”
The new 16 mm video display, nicknamed “SpudVision” because of the funding from the Idaho Potato Commission, measures almost 12 feet high by 15 feet wide. This video display uses the latest Daktronics industry-leading HD-X technology. The high resolution of the video display will make it better than many of the displays in surrounding schools, according to Tingey.
This Daktronics HD-X display features LED pixels on 16 mm pixel spacing. They are ideal for applications requiring a wide viewing angle, ensuring every fan has a great view of the action on the field.
Daktronics LED video and messaging display technology offers a long lifetime with minimal maintenance and low power consumption, providing value and excitement for years to come.
About ISU’s Holt Arena
Holt Arena was built in 1970 entirely by voluntary student fee increases. It is the oldest enclosed stadium on a college campus in the U.S. and the second-oldest overall. (The Houston Astrodome, completed in 1965, predates it.)
The arena was originally named the Mini Dome, but was renamed in 1988 to honor former ISU Athletic Director Milton W. “Dubby” Holt. The arena serves as the home field for the ISU football, indoor track and field and men’s basketball teams. It also hosts Idaho high school football games and other sporting events, rodeos and concerts.

From Digital Signage.com:
Capital Networks Ltd (CNL), a leading global provider of broadcasting and dynamic digital signage software, has announced a new market initiative into the US Education sector. The Audience.Campus™ offering has been designed specifically for educational installations, enabling high schools, colleges and universities to improve communication with students across multi-site campuses, as well as within individual faculties or departments. The solution can run up to 100 channels simultaneously through a single deployment – which ensures that individual departments can control the content on their broadcasts and deliver hyper-local information like room schedules, or class notifications – all of which can be uploaded easily by staff or students.
And from Digital Signage Expo:
Audience.Campus, the latest offering from Capital Networks Ltd., focuses on providing 
educational facilities with all the tools needed to enhance campus communications and emergency messaging through digital signage.
By using the company’s Audience software platform, which is able to run up to 100 channels simultaneously through a single deployment, staff and students have the ability to control and deliver information ranging from multi-site campus wide communications to faculty specific hyper-local content.
Because campus messaging basically consists of two types of information — universal campus-wide content applicable to everyone, and hyper-local information specifically created for a specific department or screen — Audience.Campus ensures the ability to deliver both using one centralized platform.
“Centralization is the key to effective and timely emergency messaging. While individual departments demand their own signage control and programming, emergency messaging must be able to pre-empt or over-ride departmental messages,” said Blake Reeves, manager of business development for Markham, Ont.-based Capital Networks.
“It is for this reason many campuses are looking to standardize on a single digital signage
According to the company, an increasing number of educational establishments hoping to create and display broadcast quality information and emergency channels on a limited budget are looking to take advantage of the Audience.Campus solution. Colleges already using the Audience software platform include Purdue University, Case Western Reserve University, University of Regina, and NAIT – Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. vendor to synchronize emergency messaging. As well as delivering a vast array of day-to-day information, a dynamic digital signage solution can save lives in emergencies by ensuring the students are aware of events and have real-time information about where they should go.”
