EDWARDSVILLE, IL, June 5, 2026 — Nevco Sports is proud to announce the completion of a comprehensive scoring and display installation at Central Methodist University, a nationally recognized NAIA program in Fayette, Missouri. Spanning two facilities on campus, Puckett Field House and Estes Baseball Field, the upgrades bring professional-level technology and a sharper fan experience to Eagles athletics.

A transformed indoor experience

Puckett Field House serves as home court for Eagles men’s & women’s basketball and wrestling, competitive cheer and dance, and women’s volleyball teams. The indoor venue now features a dual digital scoreboard setup that anchors both sides of the facility. On one end a 3.9mm Full Color True Pixel Video Display is mounted above a Nevco Model 2702 LED Scoreboard finished in forest green with white striping and bright white electronic digits.

Across the court, a matching Model 2770 LED Scoreboard is flanked by Model SD7-5 Stat Panels, giving athletes, coaches, and fans expanded real-time game data. Both scoreboards feature dynamic Electronic Team Names along with school-branded signage and sponsor signs displaying “Commercial Trust Company” below each. SSC-T5 Shot Clocks with integrated end-of-period lights mounted directly to the backboards round out a fully professional scoring environment.

Estes Field gets a new focal point

In addition to the indoor transformation, the home of the Eagles baseball was upgraded with a 12.6’H x 22.05’W 10mm Full Color LED Video Display that’s accented with a striking decorative arch truss and custom “Estes Field” sign featuring the university logo. A pair of 9630 Pitch Timer Clocks were also installed, ensuring that pitchers and batters comply with the pitch clock rules, helping to keep the game moving at a consistent pace.

The indoor and outdoor LED video displays provide Central Methodist University with a dynamic platform capable of transforming the overall fan experience across multiple athletic venues.

From live video and instant replays to animated graphics, real-time game data, sponsor recognition, and promotional content, the displays create a more immersive and engaging atmosphere for fans while delivering added versatility for athletic events, campus activities, and community engagement.

Built for Eagles Athletics

“These installations create exciting, high-energy environments that reflect the pride and tradition of Central Methodist University athletics,” said Josh Robbers, Senior Video Display Sales Consultant at Nevco.

“The new displays and scoring systems have completely transformed the atmosphere inside our facilities,” said Jeff Sherman, Athletic Director at Central Methodist University. “These upgrades not only enhance the experience for our fans and student-athletes but also showcase the continued growth and momentum of Central Methodist athletics.”

The result is a cohesive, modern athletic identity across both venues, reinforcing Central Methodist University’s position as a respected NAIA program committed to excellence on and off the field. These upgrades reflect the university’s continued investment in a next-level student-athlete experience while enhancing the atmosphere for fans, officials, and the broader campus community. As the trusted partner of the NAIA, Nevco brings championship-caliber technology to CMU’s facilities, ensuring that the same standard of display and scoring excellence found at the highest levels of NAIA competition is now embedded in the heart of Eagle athletics.

AV integrators are buying scale because meeting rooms now run like software

AV integrators are buying scale because meeting rooms now run like software

Forté’s acquisition of Vega Global, adding more than 750 employees across 17 APAC countries, is a prominent 2026 sign of consolidation in enterprise AV, according to AV Magazine. At InfoComm 2026, Cisco, Crestron and HP showed room platforms centered on ongoing management, with Cisco and NVIDIA introducing RoomOS 26 AI agents that run on in-room hardware and HP tying Poly Lens to its Workforce Experience Platform, as reported by AVIXA and HP. Separately, Cisco’s Webex AI roadmap adds “agentic” automation and governance that reaches beyond room systems into the contact center and workforce management, according to No Jitter. As a result, standards, telemetry, security and service-level performance are taking a larger role in how contracts are evaluated, influencing both vendor choice and integrator consolidation.

  • 01When services are 38% of channel revenue and hardware is 36%, the integrator RFP stops being about the bill of materials and starts being about uptime, monitoring and lifecycle outcomes, per AV Magazine citing AVIXA channel research.
  • 02“Edge AI in the room” shifts how outages and performance issues play out: RoomOS 26 adds on-device agents and features such as Audio Zones that can lessen reliance on cloud connectivity, but it also increases requirements for endpoint compute, device governance and disciplined update processes, according to AVIXA and rAVe [PUBS].
  • 03Consolidation is becoming a procurement feature: Forté’s move from a federation model to owned operations signals multinationals want one throat to choke for standards, security and service outcomes across regions, per AV Magazine.

Sony’s BRAVIA Pro displays run VITEC Avedia IPTV with no external media player

Sony’s BRAVIA Pro displays run VITEC Avedia IPTV with no external media player

Sony Electronics and VITEC announced a global integration that lets Sony BRAVIA professional displays run VITEC’s Avedia IPTV and digital signage software natively, eliminating external media players, according to PR Newswire and AV Magazine. Management runs through VITEC’s CMS, and the companies say it can scale to thousands of displays across corporate, hospitality, healthcare, venues, and public facilities, per PR Newswire and invidis. For enterprise IT and facilities teams, the practical shift is a new procurement and governance model: treat “display plus software” as one Android-based endpoint, then manage it like an IT fleet with fewer devices to install but stricter expectations around app lifecycle, security requirements, and vendor roadmaps. The announcement also lands alongside Sony’s previously reported Bravia Inc. joint venture with TCL, which invidis says will move operational control in April 2027, a reminder that longer-running display deployments should track who sets the roadmap over the life of the fleet.

  • 01Player-less IPTV changes the bill of materials: endpoints shift from “screen + player + mounts + power” to a single managed display, which can compress install labor and reduce failure points.
  • 02The phrase “thousands of displays” (PR Newswire) is the right scale test: if the CMS and network design cannot handle a four-digit endpoint count, this architecture won’t match the promise.
  • 03Sony’s display governance is expected to change in 2027 under the TCL-led Bravia Inc. venture (invidis). For deployments that will still be operating then, teams should address it now as part of contract terms.

AIMS adds Bolin Technology and ITDev to advance IPMX implementation

AIMS adds Bolin Technology and ITDev to advance IPMX implementation

Bolin Technology, a PTZ camera maker, and ITDev, an FPGA design firm, have joined the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) to support IPMX and open AV-over-IP interoperability. AIMS leadership says the additions ground IPMX work in real-world implementation, from endpoint hardware to the FPGA IP used in gateways and processing nodes.

  • 01Bolin Technology and ITDev joined AIMS in late August to support IPMX and open AV-over-IP standards.
  • 02Bolin supplies PTZ cameras and AV-over-IP products supporting NDI, Dante AV, and Fast HEVC; ITDev is an Altera and AMD FPGA design services and IP partner for IPMX, SMPTE ST 2110, and video processing.
  • 03The article advises buyers to ask vendors how IPMX support will be provided (native silicon, FPGA, gateway, or software stack) and to make certification and interoperability testing part of acceptance criteria.
