3.1 Team Name Message Center System Overview
Team Name Message Centers (TNMCs) are programmable LED displays that allow users to
show custom Home and Guest names or messages of about 15 characters on the scoreboard
in place of static vinyl captions. TNMCs are typically ordered factory-installed, but they may
also be field-mounted after the scoreboard is in place. TNMCs are available in two different
pixel arrangements: 8x32 and 8x48. Characters are shown on one line using single- or double-
stroke fonts 10" high (254 mm) and 14" (355 mm) high for 34 mm and 46 mm TNMC units,
respectively.
