Configuring the Media Control
The scoreboard needs to be connected to a PC directly via a gigabit Ethernet link.
The PC requires the relevant LED control soft are to be installed. Please refer to
separate instructions for this.
Maintenance
No specific maintenance is required. Occasionally sections of the LED display may fail or
flicker. This is often caused by a direct hit on the board by a ball and this can loosen a
display connector. Should this occur, open the scoreboard and check for any loose
connectors.
