The new broadcast system will provide high definition
coverage for racing at the New Meadowlands marking a new era at one of the
premier racetracks in the country. The Meadowlands is in the process of
building a brand new, state-of-the-art racing and entertainment venue and
wanted to make sure that the broadcast of racing received that same upgrade.
That is the reason International Sound was chosen to design and install this
system.
“I have been working with International Sound and the
Snyder family for more than 18 years dating back to my days at Scioto Downs,”
said Jason Settlemoir, CEO and General Manager of the New Meadowlands.
“It is a new age at the New Meadowlands Racetrack and International Sound is
the ideal partner for this project. Their knowledge and history in the
industry is unsurpassed.”
“We are very excited about this new project,” said David
Snyder, president of International Sound. “The Meadowlands is one of the
premier tracks and to help build up what will be a new era in racing at the New
Meadowlands is an exciting opportunity. “
International Sound just recently finished broadcast
control room installations at Vernon Downs and Tioga Downs. These two
properties, along with the New Meadowlands Racetrack, are all owned and
operated by Jeff Gural. “Without slots, money is tight, but as we have
seen this past year our export handle has increased dramatically as the bettors
recognize our efforts to improve our racing product. Couple that with our
integrity efforts and the large pools, it is a necessity to offer our customers
the best technology possible to view our racing product, which is why we chose
International Sound” said Gural.
