1.1 Display Overview
The DakTicker model number is described as follows:
KE-1010-HHxCCC-7.62-RG
KE-1010 = Indoor DakTicker display
HH = Number of pixels high (16 or 24)
CCC =
Number of columns wide
(120, 160, 200, 240, 280, 320, 360, 400)
7.62 = Pixel spacing in millimeters
RG = Tri-color (Red, Green, and Amber)
The displays are offered as single-face (one-sided) units which may consist of a number of
separate sections. Two types of display sections are used, one called the “master” and the
other an “echo.” Master sections contain the controller board which receives information
from the computer. Echo displays do not contain a controller board and require a master
display to operate. Displays show information from a third party source, such as a wire
service, ticker input, or Internet service, and scroll these messages from right to left on the
display. A generic KE-1010 setup is illustrated in Figure 2.
