Case Study: Northwestern University elevates fan experience with VITEC's EZ TV IPTV & Digital Signage Solution

Northwestern University Raises Their Game with VITEC EZ TV IPTV & Digital Signage Solution for Sports Venues Delivers a Captivating Fan Experience at Welsh-Ryan Arena

Northwestern University renovated Welsh-Ryan Arena to deliver a more immersive game-day experience for basketball, volleyball, and wrestling fans. To support the new venue, the university needed a modern IPTV and digital signage system that could deliver low-latency live video to every screen, support multiple content sources, and give a small operations team an easy-to-manage centralized platform.

VITEC implemented its EZ TV IPTV & Digital Signage Solution for Sports Venues, enabling Northwestern University to power more than 75 displays around the arena with high-quality live streams, digital signage, and menu boards over the existing network. The result was a fully transformed fan experience in time for the 2018–2019 basketball season, with every screen carrying the action and new revenue opportunities through sponsorship and digital content, helping establish the arena as a leading collegiate venue.
