1.3 Terms Used in this Manual
DMP-8065: digital billboard control card that sends content to the display. The DMP limits the
display to static content and regulates content hold times.
Lanyard Attachment Ring: a ring found on the back of each module and on the display doors
that attaches to a lanyard and prevents the module or door from falling.
Latch Release: a device that holds the module firmly to the display frame. There are two per
module, one on the top and one on the bottom.
Light Emitting Diode (LED): low-energy, high-intensity lighting unit.
Line Filter: a device that alternates electromagnetic interference that might disrupt local
communication channels and internal equipment operation.
Louver: a black plastic shade positioned horizontally above each pixel row. Louvers increase
display contrast.
Module: consists of a display board with LEDs, a driver board or logic card, housing, a module
latch assembly, and a louver. Each module is individually removable from either the front or
back of the display. Module part numbers vary by pixel pitch.
ProLink Router (PLR): the PLR takes data in from the DMP and then routes that data to other
areas in the sign. There is typically one PLR per display section.
Power Supply: a device that converts AC line voltage from the panel board to low DC voltage for
driver boards. One power supply powers multiple modules.
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) Cable: allows high-speed signal transfer from
device to device. In digital billboards, they run signal from module to module.
