Outdoor TVs, audio and patio screens in Dallas-Fort Worth.

At 3 pm the west screens drop two thirds of the way against the low sun. Tables that would sit empty in the glare stay seated.

Protection from the sun, light rain and wind, creating an inviting space and keeping guests comfortable in any weather. Zip screens run in side channels so the fabric holds in a gust, wind sensors retract them on their own before a storm, and one press or a schedule drops them against the low sun. Switch between Sun, Wind and Evening to see the same patio through one Texas day.

Patrons enjoy the game regardless of the weather and the light, on displays rated for the exposure they get: brightness, glare and heat. Outdoor-rated screens are several times brighter than an indoor TV, with anti-glare glass and sealed housings built for rain, dust and a Texas summer, and they are placed so the screen faces away from the sun at game time.

Weather-resistant speakers laid out for even coverage across the patio, so no table is loud and no table is quiet. Surface speakers under the pergola, landscape and rock speakers in the planting and buried subwoofers in the beds, with the patio as its own audio zone, so the volume outside is set separately from the dining room and follows the TV when the game is on.

Patio, walkway and facade lighting on the venue control, with scenes that move from lunch to late: path lights along the walk to the entrance, uplights on the trees, string lights and downlights under the pergola, LED strips under the bar and along the planters and a wash on the facade, all dimmable and on schedules tied to sunset, so nobody has to remember the switch.

Screens, displays, audio and lighting from the same keypads and touch panels as the rest of the venue, with schedules for opening and closing. A weather-rated keypad by the patio door gives staff Open, Game, Evening and Close, the wind and rain sensors act on their own, and a manager can check or change the patio from a phone.

Power, network and weather protection planned together, so the outdoor systems are as reliable as the indoor ones. Outdoor-rated conduit and junction boxes, sealed connectors, a hardwired run to every screen and display, PoE for the cameras and access points on the patio, and the electronics kept in the indoor rack rather than outside in the heat.
