Show Control System
Daktronics Show Control System is an interactive control system that enables operators
to control a network of displays in real-time through a push-button user interface. With
the push of a button, an operator can trigger content, manage configurations, and send
other commands to one or more displays. Show Control System is used most commonly
in sports venues, from high school to professional, with one or more displays that need to
have real-time control to trigger crowd prompts, advertising, real-time data, and other
functions in conjunction with the live action.
For more information on how to use the Show Control System to control a DMP-8000
series player, refer to Section 10: Show Control System (p. 31) or the table below for

Intelligent Device Management
Daktronics Intelligent Device Management (IDM) is a web-based diagnostics tool that
supports DMP-8000 series player systems. All players collect diagnostic data from the
player itself and many other components in a player system and can transmit that data
to the Daktronics IDM server. The IDM server takes that data and analyzes it to determine
the health of the display system, noting any problems currently affecting the display’s
ability to show content, potential problems with showing content, or problems affecting
the display itself.
Refer to
Diagnostics (p. 16) for information on how to activate IDM on the player.
