Graphics & Special Characters 166
Galaxy : Daktronics trademarked name for matrix-based LED (light emitting diode) displays. Galaxy
displays are available in monochrome red or amber, tricolor (red, green, and amber), or RGB (red,
green, and blue).
GalaxyPro : Daktronics product line of outdoor full-matrix displays capable of displaying text,
graphics, and animation in 64 billion RGB color variations.
Glow Cube : Daktronics product line of reflective, electro-mechanical display technology. Glow Cube
consists of cube-shaped pixels with faces that rotate 180 degrees to show either a yellow or a black
side.
Group: a collection of displays with the same display type. When creating and scheduling messages,
the group may be selected instead of the individual displays. The group of displays will then have the
ability to receive the same commands. For example, if a group of cafeteria displays are to have the
same message, a group called CAFETERIA could be created. This saves time in creating and
scheduling messages.
Hold: the length of time a frame will remain on the display once all the entry effects have been
completed.
InfoNet : Daktronics product line of line-based monochrome LED (light emitting diode) displays.
Input Template Format (ITF) File: multiple RTD fields that are generated by the source program to
simplify the creation of data frames.
Library: a group of messages or schedules of similar type. For example, a series of Christmas
messages could be saved in a library called CHRISTMAS. Libraries are stored by display type.
Monochrome: displays capable of displaying either red or amber colors only.
Multi-Galaxy: the name used for Daktronics displays which combine both monochrome and RGB
LED types in the same display.
Network: multiple displays connected to each other. Up to 240 Venus 1500-controlled displays can
exist on one network.
RG (tricolor): displays capable of showing red, green, and amber colors. Red and green LEDs
combine to create an amber color.
RGB: (red, green, blue) displays capable of showing red, green, and blue colors. These colors combine
to create a full-color display.
Real-time Data (RTD): fields which allow information from an outside source (such as a timer or
counter) to be inserted into a message.
Schedule: similar to an appointment book for a display. It allows the user to send the message to
display at specific times and sets the brightness of the display. These instructions can be set on a day-
to-day, hour-to-hour, or minute-to-minute basis. For example, a display can be told to start a message
called BIGSALE at 1:33pm on 1/3, and at the same time set the brightness level at 32 (50%).
