Abstract: Control System for a data display system such as a scoreboard, message board or the like wherein display indicators having location addresses, on the board, are addressed and actuated through a logic system which first receives and stores address data pertaining to a particular indicator, receives display character data, and automatically reads out the address data to the board for enabling the desired indicator followed by the display character data to actuate it to display the desired character. A buffer memory is provided for controlling the input to the logic system from a variety of input devices including console keyboard, punch tape typewriter and reader as well as magnetic memory storage devices. Circuits are provided in conjunction with the buffer for updating particular message data existing in the buffer as required by changes in the game or other information.

Abstract: A completely electronic traveling message display system in which the input data is loaded into a buffer at the rate received and read out to a lamp encoder for actuating the lamps at a rate dependent on but nonsynchronous with the input rate. A control circuit determines the contents of the buffer and controls the readout rate so that a smooth transition is made in the visual display rate despite fast changes in the rate of input. A shift register is shown for sequentially enabling the lamps in a lamp matrix display board and the control circuit controls the shift rate through the register. Provisions are made to fire the lamps a controlled number of times for each shift of the shift register and only for a short period to prevent image distortions to the observer. The brightness of the display is both automatically and manually controllable to adjust for variations in the display rate and for ambient light conditions.
