All Customizable Basketball Scoreboards
We make the best basketball scoreboards to fit the budget and your needs.
There is a great variety of choice for your information display. You may just need the basic information: score,
time and shot clock. In that case, we offer two configurations: one complete scoreboard (model 2330)
or sold as 3 small components if installing a scoreboard is not an option. As your needs grow, Electro-Mech has
over 15 different information display configurations to offer you. The two top models (model 2665 or model 2555)
carry time, ball possession, team fouls and 1 player fouls and points. The 2555 also includes fouls and points
for all five players on the floor for each team.
You can match the scoreboard colors to those of your program, school and team colors. Electro-Mech offers over 15
different vibrant standard paint colors for the face of the scoreboard. We will even create other colors for an
additional fee. For an extra standout look, you may want to add a stripe around the edge of the scoreboard–white
or gold are the most popular and effective. Finally, with our basketball scoreboards you get to choose
from two bright LED display colors: amber or red. Either choice is visible from all fan viewing angles and is
super-clear in indoor gyms.
Next, figure out how many ID panels to your scoreboard needs. The panel displays your team name, the field name,
and images such as the team mascot and any advertisements. Ads are the critical revenue maker for programs and the
space near the scoreboard are prime. They will command the most fan attention and should demand the highest fees.
Different shapes for your basketball scoreboard are also available. In addition to the standard rectangular choice
that might sit court-side and we have many multi-sided options to hang over the court. On top of that our company offers
decorative trusses for a complete visual package.
LED Scoreboards and Your Basketball Program
Electro-Mech has been making innovative basketball scoreboards for almost 50 years and during this time we have
been through several major changes to the technology used to display game information.
These Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) concentrate all of their power into producing colored light, which is a huge
upgrade from the standard incandescent bulbs. These standard bulbs waste energy and sharpness by splitting their
power into heat and wavelengths invisible to the eye. An LED display benefits the fans with great viewing angles
and crisp displays that can be seen in almost any light — especially important for indoor basketball games.
The benefits to the bottom line is even greater because these LEDs cost less for power and last 50 to 100 times
what incandescent bulbs last. Because of the greatly reduced power load, they’re less expensive to install and
require reduced equipment to run them. Electro-Mech is the innovator in bringing LED technology to scoreboards.
Their first indoor LED scoreboard was developed and used in 1996 — they have been perfecting it ever since.
Remote and Wireless Scoreboards for Basketball
The other major technological advance since the 60s has been the advent of wireless technology. It used to be that
to run the scoreboard from the scorer’s table or the press box, cable needed to be run everywhere complete with
duct tape to keep fans from tripping over it. We developed its ScoreLink technology to send the signal
wirelessly from the control console right onto the scoreboard. There is no wiring — all adjustment to the statistics
can be made from the control console, which seamlessly connects via radio frequency to a modem hooked up behind the
scoreboard. This saves your program money and the hassle of changing the seating configuration for different games.
