TNMC & Electronic Caption Troubleshooting & Maintenance

3.7 Display Drivers

Display drivers, also known as controllers
or shift cards, use a 12-pin plug that
mates with jack J4 to set the address.
For TNMCs, the address plug is set to 1
(221). A typical Player-Foul-Points
electronic caption for statistics displays
uses address 3 (223) while a scoreboard
with electronic captions uses address 8
(228). Pin 11 on the address plug selects
whether to show Home data (connected)
or Guest data (not connected). Refer to
Drawing A-123794 in Appendix C for
addressing information.

Note: Refer to Drawing A-3019367
for TNMC addressing information of
tennis systems with up to 12 courts.

Figure 18 illustrates some of the primary jacks and indicators of a display driver.
