Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves, is a media-rich venue in Major League Baseball. Recenty, the consulting firm WJHW turned to SNA Displays to replace existing LED videowall systems at Truist Park with a comprehensive solution spanning the main centerfield scoreboard, a new 400-level ribbon display and several additional screen locations.
The brief from WJHW included a requirement that all of the displays must have remote power control capability. To ensure robust power control and distribution systems, SNA Displays brought in LynTec as its power control partner, building on a relationship forged through years of collaboration at both professional and collegiate sports venues.
Revamp of Truist Park
Speaking on the scale of the Truist Park installation, SNA Displays and LynTec remark that the center field display alone runs on 12 LynTec Lighting Control Panelboards (LCPs), all mounted on the catwalk behind the board, as well as two LCP rack mount controllers installed inside weatherproof enclosures behind the display. These panels power not only the main scoreboard but also the static sponsor signage below it. For the brand new 400-level ribbon installation at the stadium, SNA Displays required four LCP panels in NEMA 3R enclosures installed at each location.
LynTec adds that its LCP is a completely self-contained power management solution and its standalone board features an on-board web server that enables browser-based operation and native integration with third-party control systems via DMX-512, sACN, IP, or contact closure inputs for light sensors, motion sensors and switch sets.
Several other locations including the Coca-Cola Corner ribbon in the outer left field area and the Blue Moon Beer Garden display on the upper level terrace required a retrofit solution that called for LynTec’s RPCR relay panel. The RPCR brings branch circuit control and monitoring to any existing breaker panel, providing remote electrical control to LED lighting, powered amplifiers and energy management programs.
“There are dozens if not hundreds of circuits in the main display just from an electrical design standpoint,” says David Kile, senior director of solutions at SNA Displays. “Being able to have a company that provides the breaker panels from start to finish without requiring a separate contactor or relay panel after the fact is the reason we really prefer LynTec.”

The all-in-one design of LynTec’s automated breaker panels also eliminates the learning curve for electricians on the job site. Moreover, the LynTec panels are based on Square D’s Powerlink hardware platform that is installed exactly like standard breaker panels.
All of the LynTec hardware across Truist Park integrates back to a central control architecture via LynTec’s LPC and Xtend Power Control (XPC) control boards. A pair of primary and backup LPCs live adjacent to the main scoreboard panels; meanwhile, six XPCs in the control room serve as the primary interface for the broader system. That infrastructure connects directly to SNA Displays’ V3 Pro software via a custom PLC protocol. The protocol — co-developed by SNA and LynTec during the Lucas Oil Stadium project — is a communication layer that allows SNA’s LED wall software to talk to LynTec’s panels across the network.
LynTec’s XPC Series of remote relay modules extend the reach of the company’s relay panels and motorized circuit breakers. With flexible installement capabilities, they eliminate the expenses of bringing power control back to the main panel. The family includes 20 and 30-amp relay modules, 20-amp and 80-amp rack sequencers and the XPC controller — offering LynTec’s RPC control solution in a standalone 1RU enclosure.
The system also integrates with QSC Q-SYS, the IP-based automation platform the Braves use facility-wide. SNA Displays programmed new touch panel interfaces into the Braves’ Q-SYS environment in coordination with the facility’s own production staff. This allows operators to manage display power and brightness from any Q-SYS control point — including iPads and mobile devices — while on campus.
“There are dozens of different ways to manage an install of this size,” Kile adds. “They can turn displays on and off via our V3 Pro software, via LynTec push buttons in the main control room or via Q-SYS. They can even remote in through a secure gateway and do it from home if they need to.”
A Seamless Partnership
According to SNA Displays, the Truist Park installation also marks the first time it has implemented real-time circuit-level status reporting as part of a client-facing monitoring workflow. Since LynTec’s software can integrate into the V3 Pro, the system can pull live circuit status from the breaker panels and publish it to both an internal log and to the end user. When a circuit breaker trips and generates an error, the Braves’ production team receives an immediate alert via email or Slack without having to log into any machine to investigate.
“One of the key things the Braves had been pushing for was real-time reporting of display status in a way that didn’t require them to log into a machine and manually check,” explains Kile. “We’ve been able to tie LynTec into that reporting workflow, and it’s become a differentiator for us.”
Additionally, SNA Displays deployed Q-SYS as a third-party control layer for LynTec hardware for the first time at Truist Park. The approach of programming Q-SYS to communicate with LynTec panels over IP is now part of SNA Displays’ standard toolkit for future deployments.
SNA Displays adds that it is actively installing additional LynTec XPCs and breaker panels as part of a second phase of the project. The continued expansion underscores what the partnership between SNA Displays and LynTec has built at Truist Park: not a one-time install, but a scalable infrastructure designed to grow with the venue.
