Admiral Video PylonCam™Conduit System

Technical Description

Summary

Currently, one of the barriers to widespread PylonCam™usage is cost. Television networks are forced to disturb

stadium playing surfaces in a labor-intensive effort to place the necessary wires in the field. Admiral Video has

patented a system that allows for easy game-day installation and repeated use of PylonCam™ in stadiums. This

system features a permanently installed conduit infrastructure which eliminates the need to continually disturb the

playing surface prior to a game. Also included are wall-mounted equipment enclosures (“JBT” or “wall box”), which

serve as termination points for the conduit and provide a place to permanently install our electronic and fiber-optic

equipment. This comprehensive system eliminates recurring labor costs and makes ongoing usage of PylonCam™

cost-effective.

Infrastructure Requirements

Conduit

o1-1/2” Schedule 80 PVC Electrical Conduit –Local Supplier.

oSweeping 90-Degree Elbows for ease of pulling –Local Supplier.

Conduit Layout and Pylon Locations

Conduit can be installed for all goal line and back line pylons –totaling eight pylon locations (two pylon locations

per corner).

To reduce the number of trenches required to be dug, the conduits in each corner can be laid out so that they extend

next to each other along the sideline of the end zone and continue straight to the wall (FIG. 1).

Each pylon must be precisely located on the field with respect to

the boundary lines (FIG. 2). Thus, each conduit must also be

precisely located, since the conduit location becomes a

reference point for the pylon location. Measurements for

locating a back line pylon (FIG. 2a) and an end zone pylon (FIG.

2b) are shown.

FIG. 1 Example conduit layout and box location. End zone length and distance between pylon locations are not shown to scale.

FIG. 2 Overhead view, pylon locations.

FIG. 2b Detail view, goal line pylon location.

U.S. PATENTED

At each pylon location, the final 90-degree conduit

section (supplied by Admiral Video) is installed so that

the vertical portion of the conduit is centered at the

pylon location (FIG. 3).

FIG. 3 Side view of custom conduit section at pylon location.

U.S. PATENTED

Wall Box Locations

(FIG. 4) Preferred wall box locations are on the end zone

walls. One box must be placed at each corner. Total

conduit length from any pylon location to termination at

the wall box, including vertical distances, must not

exceed 75’.

FIG. 4 Side view, Wall Box conduit termination.

U.S. PATENTED

PylonPlug

At the pylon location, a plug sub-assembly

(FIG. 5) supplied by Admiral Video is installed

in the end of the custom conduit fitting.

Specific parts of the plug assembly are made

of rubber to provide for impact force

absorption and to satisfy Clegg Hammer

readings. The PylonPlug assembly can be

removed and replaced, allowing access to the

conduit without disturbing the surrounding

earth.

SealCap

A SealCap is installed onto the plug sub-

assembly. The pass-through SealCap allows

use of Admiral Video PylonCam™ systems

configured with a USB3 or similar connector

(FIG. 6).

FIG. 6 Installed SealCap with example flexible cable and USB3 connector in place.

FIG. 5 PylonPlug exploded view.

U.S. PATENTED

PylonCap

A PylonCap can be installed when the

PylonCam™system is not in use. The

installed cables remain in place but

are pushed down into the top section

of the assembly. The cap sits slightly

below finished grade so that it does

not interfere with mowing or other

field maintenance or provide an

obstacle to any other activities taking

place on the field (FIG. 7).

The area above the PylonCap can be

infilled with sand or rubber crumb to

create a seamless playing surface

(FIG. 8). Additionally, the PylonCap

can be fitted with tufts of artificial

turf if desired.

FIG. 8 Cross-section view, installed cap. The sand or infill material sits on top of the cap,

creating a surface level with the surrounding ground.

FIG. 7 Installed PylonCap.
