Iroquois, ON, Canada – June 15, 2005 – Ross Video announced today the New York Mets, Shea Stadium has invested in a Synergy 3 Digital Production Switcher as part of a recent video scoreboard upgrade.

“We looked at different SDI switcher options and in terms of the feature power and efficiencies, Ross was the right investment,” said Tim Gunkel, Senior Director, Marketing Production, New York Mets, Shea Stadium. “We have the ability to grow with Synergy as our needs change and we eventually migrate beyond SD to HD. Also Ross has great people to work with from Sales to Training and Technical support.”

The stadium previously had an Analog 4x3 video scoreboard and has upgraded to an SDI 16x9 Diamond Vision LED video scoreboard for displaying quality digital signals.
