More than a scoreboard controller – Unique features and options of Control-MC
Smart Whistle – Start and stop time by referee's whistle
The Control-MC offers the innovative wireless Smart Whistle function: the time on the scoreboard controller starts and stops by the referee's whistle. Up to 3 whistles can be connected. The system logs whose whistle was used to stop/start time. The Smart Whistle operates in the unlicensed 433 MHz band and provides a range of up to 100 meters. This function is seamlessly integrated and does not require the connection of external devices.
MCDO – Accurate and synced TV graphics
For TV broadcasters who produce on-air graphics from a broadcasting center there is a MCDO option. The option includes additional multifunctional devices with SDI input/output. Using the proprietary slomo.tv technology, the device on the arena embeds scoreboard controller data into the video signal sent to the broadcaster via any communication channel. Several embedding methods can be used: watermark, AUX Data and audio. The response device installed in the TV center retrieves the data. When the MCDO is connected via USB to the graphics system, the broadcaster gets a time reference for each frame and the ability to overlay the graphics with maximum accuracy.
MCDD – Monitoring and diagnostics of the scoreboard controller data feed
Significantly simplifies system setup and tune-up in large arenas. This option can also serve as a scoreboard controller test data generator. By selecting the interface and protocol, the user can connect to the existing infrastructure in the arena to test its functionality.
Smart Box – Information output on additional displays
In order to cover a wide range of possible needs, an additional Smart Box device has been developed for the Control-MC. The compact device (15 cm х 10 cm х 4 cm) connects to the Control-MC via standard Ethernet and outputs the selected game information on a standard HDMI™ display: time, time and score, goals, penalties, etc. It enables an information board to be organized in any place of the arena in accordance with league and federation regulations.
An expanded version - the Big Smart Box - is also available, allowing for more complex information and graphics to be generated on the HDMI™ output and delivered to video cubes and other displays.
