MT-BOARD Control Software for Sport Application
The Control System of the video screen All the control equipment of the screen is located in the control room. It is advantageous if the operator has direct view on the screen from the control equipment, but on the other hand, on a secondary monitor of the system installed in the operator room the screen picture is shown. Brief Operational Description The control computer performs all the supervisory and board management function.  In addition to the control computer, a dedicated computer is required and offered for performing the task of sport data processing in an interactive operator mode with the main editing computer.

The Software of the system

• Software for editing texts, graphics and video images
• Software for controlling the video screen in video mode, graphic mode of operation mixing different image fonts between graphics and texts with the possibility of displaying these images with different special effects;
• Software for made Animation and software for Revue preparation and presentation;
• Software for controlling the image information with diverse special effects (typewriter, spiral, movements in four directions, zoom, positive-negative effect, etc. with different characters shape and size);
• Software for storing and handling at least 10.000 pages of graphics, alphanumeric texts or photos, other software for capturing, elaborating, storing and displaying min. 30 min. on the video screen in formats FLI, FLC, MOV or AVI video + audio directly from the PC;
• Software for elaborating and memorizing audio (music, speaker) in formats WAV or MID for accompanying images displayed on the video screen;
• Software for setting the different parameters of the video signals and to select from the  inputs of video signals of the system toward the video screen;
• Display of quick and spectacular image animations on the video screen;
• Creation and display of graphic images with sound, e.g. the possibility of displaying the team composition with the announcement of the names of the players accompanied by the hymn of the team. For advertising, the images and the voice of the speaker come directly from the PC of the system;
• Possibility of modifying colors, intensity, contrast by means of the PC software;
• Possibility of recording video spots on the hard disk of the PC with special effects;
• All parts of the video screen can be used as a moving message sign with discretional characters and fonts as mixture and gradation of colors, while the rest of the image contents remain unchanged.
  According to the determination of the operator of the system the effects are realized with different speed. During the passage between two displays of moving picture with different contents diverse interesting passages can be realized.
• The operation in regard of the displays of images can be continuous. Programmed interruptions can, however, also be implemented. In this manner, a determined program can be realized with a discretional duration and these operations can also be stored and actuated any time permitting the insertion of public messages and advertisements, fact which can surely contribute to the optimum amortization of the costs of the system.
• In internal accord with the own internal clock of the system the images appear and change in the chosen moments determined in the program or upon the commands implemented by the operator of the system.
  In dependence of the intensity of the environmental illumination the system changes the intensity of the images displayed on the board screen ensuring an always-optimum visibility.
  The intensity will never be higher than the environment requests, thus, not only the visibility will be excellent but a not necessarily high consumption will also be impeded.
• The main computer system is suitable for generating textual messages both in Latin and any other present languages requested, as well as handling the special effects. The control computer is also used in composition correction and erasing of board images by means of the keyboard and the monitor.
• One can also create files of the board picture contents and store on the disc. Each of the above files can be numbered by the operator for easy reading and can be transmitted to the screen on the bases of its address. These files are able to accommodate different size of mixed lingual characters. The contents of these files can be transcribed, corrected or erased, shifting left, right, up and down, (limited by the board size) in order to obtain aesthetic board arrange­ments. Another important facility is the ability to batch these files, thus their contents will be displayed on the board one after the other by using the special effects listed below.;

Sport software

The sports software serves for facilitating the work of the operator. It enables the information related to the different occurrences of matches or competitions to be displayed nearly simultaneously with the occurrences. In accordance with the sports rules characteristic expressions like "goal scorer", "referee ", "yellow/red card", "send off", etc. (for soccer) or the denomination of the diverse events like "high jump", "shot-put", "110 m. hurdles", etc. (for athletics) are stored in the sport computer and only the names of the players/competitors should be juxtaposed to the corresponding expression. In this manner, the relating information will be displayed in 2 to 3 seconds on the display surface. For calling the attention of the public the most important pieces of information (e.g. a goal or a record) can be displayed with special effects (like blinking, positive/negative, diverse character types, larger size characters, etc.) and revues (picture, graphics, animation and sound together). CSS ( Capture + Store + Show ) automatic Sport Replay System We, have developed it as a really special video hardware - software system, to satisfy especially the particular demand of sport utilization of full color video screens. The CSS System from its video input captures the last 2 - 10 sec. of the sport event by a simple pushing of button. The captured length of time of the spot is variable by the selection of the system operator and it is pre-set at the start of the operation. For example for soccer the spot time would be from 5 to 10 sec., but for basketball it would be not longer than 2 - 3 sec. By the hard disk of the CSS the maximum stored span of time of the sport event is min. 2000 sec. in the format of the video screen pictures. It means, that the CSS System could simultaneously store about 200 - 1000 sport spots of the event.

The video screen could show the stored sport spots as follows: - immediately and automatically after the pushing of button, giving a really very quick replay of  the happened event once or several times with real time chosen by operator; - during the break of the game or at the end of it the stored spots could be shown one by one or by a special automatic Revue editor software of the system, the sport spots can be inserted between advertising spots ( sport - promotion -sport - promotion - sport - .....) increasing the value of the advertising.

These ways of presentation can be chosen or changed by operator as well.
