1.3 Hardware Setup
System Overview
The DakTennis software is designed to interface with a Daktronics RC-100 wireless control
system. Scorers on the court use RC-100 wireless handheld controllers to transmit game
information to an RC-100 base station receiver. The base station then sends the game data into
the DakTennis computer where information from all courts is managed. The data can then be
displayed on numeric scoreboards, electronic message displays, or websites (via XML).
