The radio receiver units used in Daktronics scoreboards have a channel (CHAN) switch
that can be set from 1–8. The receivers also have a broadcast group (BCAST) setting. The
broadcast group defines a group of radio receivers that “listen” to the channel selected
on the channel switch as well as “listen” for data sent out on their broadcast channel.
Note: The number of available broadcast groups varies depending on the generation
of radio receiver: Gen V receivers have 1–4, while Gen VI receivers have 1–8.
Each radio receiver will accept data sent from the broadcast channel of its respective
broadcast group, as well as data sent from the “Master Broadcast” channel. This is
selected when the console is set to BCAST 0 and CHAN 00.
In this type of system, the receiver unit at the scoreboard must have the channel switch
set to a specific channel. The operator must know which channel is selected in the
scoreboard. The operator must then enter the specific channel when prompted during
console startup.
To determine the settings of a scoreboard,
first power it down and shut off any radio-
equipped consoles in the area. Next,
power the scoreboard back up and
watch for the radio settings. The settings
will appear as “ bX CY ” where X is the
current broadcast group, and Y is the
current channel.
The settings are typically displayed in the
clock digits or Home and Guest score
digits, depending on the scoreboard
model. Refer to Figure 4 .
The console automatically detects when a radio transmitter is installed and will prompt
the operator for transmitter settings after a valid sport code is entered.
Note: If interference from a nearby Daktronics system is suspected, press <CLEAR> at
the “RADIO SETTINGS” prompt to change the channel number.
There are three different radio scenarios that can be accommodated: a single controller
system, a multiple controller system with a single broadcast group, and a multiple
controller system with multiple broadcast groups. These scenarios are described on the
following pages.
