Electronic Scoreboard Clocks Review_1

At the heart of any sports scoreboard is the scoreboard clock. This is often the most important piece of information a fan is looking for and this clock needs to be accurate, flexible and very visible. Improvements in recent years have helped these clocks improve and today these are more accurate than ever and can easily be seen by any seat in the house.

The first thing that fans notice about these newer scoreboard clocks is that their digits are brighter and larger as well. Innovations in LED technology have made this possible, and today allow scoreboard clocks to have digits that are up to 30 inches high. These LED’s are super bright and can easily be seen in full daylight across a very large stadium. They come in either red or orange and allow a team to customize a scoreboard to fit their schools colors and their style. Also, these LED digits are incredibly more reliable than older incandescent technology and will provide years of use without needing attention. This can save a school a lot of money in maintenance costs and will give them the piece of mind knowing that the scoreboard will always be ready for that big game. These newer LED based scoreboards also require less power to operate, and this can save schools money each year on their power costs as well as making these scoreboard clocks more portable as well. Many models can be run off of a rechargeable battery pack if needed.
These scoreboard clocks are available in both stand-alone configurations as well as being part of a larger permanent scoreboard. Some models allow for easy setup and can be in position and working in a few minutes for a game. This gives schools the flexibility to position these scoreboard clocks wherever they are needed for a game.

The control of these scoreboard clocks has also improved. In older versions, the clock needed to be directly connected to a control box for starting and stopping the clock. These new versions use a wireless technology for this function and allow a lot more adjustments of the time if needed. This way they can be changed to reflect events on the field and time can be added or deducted for penalties very easily. Some of the units even offer multiple controls, which allow field personnel to make these adjustments during the game if needed.

In addition to the basic function of keeping the official game time, these scoreboard clocks can be further customized to display other pertinent game data like current possession, period or quarter of the game, current score and even player details. All of these options can be added as needed to most of the permanent and portable models of these scoreboard clocks.

The improvements to these newer scoreboard clocks are many and make them the perfect solution to most teams scoreboard needs. Whether you need a full featured permanent scoreboard, or a very versatile portable model, you can easily find one with the features you need and have it built to match your team’s colors.
