Team Name Entry
Certain scoreboard models are equipped with Team Name Message Centers (TNMCs), small
matrix displays that allow users to show team names, abbreviations, or other short messages.
The team name entry function is typically accessed by pressing the key and
navigating to the HOME or GUEST TEAM NAME option (refer to an individual sport section
for more information).
The TEAM NAME insert (LL-2441) is used to enter the TNMC settings. For newer consoles,
the Team Name insert is printed directly on the keypad, while for older consoles it will be
necessary to swap the sport insert with a separate insert. The TEAM NAME insert has the
following sections for controlling the appearance of the display:
WIDTH
Select the width (in pixels) of the TNMC from 16, 32, 48 or 64 columns. The default width is
48 columns long.
HEIGHT
Select the height (in pixels) of the TNMC from 7 or 8 rows. The default height is 8 rows high.
FONT
Select from Single Stroke or a Double Stroke (bold) font. The default font is single stroke.
Each TNMC on a scoreboard (Home & Guest) may use different font settings to fit varying
team name lengths. The tables below demonstrate the width (in pixels) of every character for
each font setting:
