Note: These are the standard communication types. However, each site is unique and may
include additional equipment. If problems arise, contact the display’s seller, service company,
or Daktronics Customer Service.
If the display is a two-sided primary/mirror display, a six-foot
quick-connect cable will be provided to connect the signal
between the two display faces. Refer to Figure 15 for proper
connection.
Note: It is recommended that the quick-connect cable be
secured to protect it from weather and vandalism.
If the display faces are mounted at more than the length of the
quick-connect cable, two primary displays will be utilized,
requiring hard-wiring between the two display faces.
