Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced today that it has completed installation of two multi-screen Diamond Vision large-scale display systems, called “Turf Vision,” at the Japan Racing Association (JRA)’s Nakayama Racecourse in Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. The new screens will be illuminated on Saturday September 12, 2009, the opening day of the “Fourth Nakayama Keiba (horse race).”

Incorporating high-luminance light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and the latest digital screen controllers, the two Turf Vision screens are able to display high-definition video content, and will provide a variety of information to race course visitors. Of the two screens, the 40.8 m wide and 9.6 m high “Turf Vision 1” is installed on the left-hand side of the front stand. This screen can be divided into two parts, to simultaneously display separate contents such as dynamic real-time media streams and race results. The “Turf Vision 2” screen installed on the right-hand side is 14.4 m wide x 8.0 m high, and will feature displays of the race track, paddock and odds.
