Project Scope
Three major upgrades created a broadcasting infrastructure: in-house production, truck bay, outfield camera locations.
Full ArticleBuilt in 1962, Dodger Stadium has been a center of community, beloved landmark, and beacon of pride for more than 50 years. But, while that is something to be proud of, the fact remains that fifty years is a very long time in terms of technology. The pandemic increased the need for technology unlike anything the country has seen in more than a century, and the MLB wasn’t about to sit on the bench. The renovation was planned to revolutionize and modernize the stadium without sacrificing the classic architecture or atmosphere of the beloved landmark. Which ratcheted up the challenge, since there was a need for more technology and infrastructure across the majority of the stadium.

Project Notes
This project uses fiber optic cable that require an OFCR listing.
OFCR stands for Optical Fiber Communications Riser, referring to optical fiber cables designed for use in vertical installations within buildings. This designation indicates that the cable complies with specific fire safety standards, making it suitable for placement in vertical pathways like riser shafts or between floors. The OFCR classification is part of the National Electrical Code (NEC) system in the U.S., which classifies cables according to their fire-resistance capabilities and appropriate installation settings. A cable with the OFCR rating has undergone testing to ensure it meets the necessary fire safety criteria for vertical applications.

This project uses corrosion resistant, hard anodized aluminum custom panels.
Anodized aluminum undergoes a process that enhances its durability by thickening the natural oxide layer, improving resistance to corrosion, wear, and scratches. It also boosts heat dissipation and allows for better adhesion and dyeing. The process doesn't affect aluminum's strength but does reduce its electrical conductivity. Anodizing comes in different types, such as Type II and Type III, offering varied results depending on conditions like voltage and bath type.

How To Choose Speaker Wire Wire gauge refers to the thickness or diameter of the wire used to connect speakers to an amplifier or receiver. It is typically measured using the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system, where a lower gauge number indicates a thicker wire and a higher gauge number represents a thinner wire...
