Monochrome Control System
Signs Plus' Monochrome Control System is the basic
text messaging controller for Electronic Message
Centers. With one color monochrome color, the
Monochrome Controller provides all of the basic text
messaging features needed for most EMCs. This low
cost, low-bandwidth control system features an
embedded processor and onboard memory which resides
inside of the sign cabinet. The embedded
configuration allows the sign to operate without a
permanent connection to a computer. Communication to
the sign is via a standard RS 232 connection (RS 485
or wireless options available). Animations and
schedules are created in WinEDT and WinEDL software
and are transmitted to the sign where they reside in
the onboard memory. If the sign is turned off or
power is interrupted, the sign will play back the
last good animation schedule that was transmitted.
The easy-to-use animation software includes many
pre-loaded text transitions and animations, allowing
beginners to make exciting moving messages with
professional results. The Monochrome Control system
is the most popular option for Electronic Message
Centers.
256 Shaded Control System
Signs Plus' 256 Shaded Control System provides
high-resolution graphic capabilities to a
monochrome LED display. Not only does this system
provide basic text messaging, it can also produce
and display high-resolution graphic animations.
Featuring 256 shades of monochrome color (red or
amber), this system provides imaging with an effect
similar to a black and white television set (also
known as grayscale). The control system will operate
medium to very large matrix displays with unlimited
maximum matrix possibilities. MediaEditor software,
which is installed on the user's PC, allows the user
to import and/or create animations and text
messages, and features pre-programmed transitions
for a professional results. Communication to the sign
is via Ethernet, fiber optic cable, wireless
Ethernet, or broadband internet, whereby animations
are transmitted to the control panel which is
installed at the base of the sign. The 256 Shaded
System is a very cost-effective solution that
delivers both text messaging and high-resolution
graphics.

RGB 16.7M
Control System
Signs Plus' RGB 16.7M Control System is the most
powerful RGB controller, featuring 16.7 million
RGB colors and unlimited maximum matrix
possibilities. The 16.7M Control System is
required for any full-color RGB display larger
than 48 by 160, or where advanced features such
as Real Time Video Input are required. While
this system offers all of the standard color EMC
text messaging features, the RGB 16.7 surpasses
the standard color depth and physical dimension
possibilities, providing astonishing
high-resolution images for large format displays
and spectaculars. Media Editor software provides
the standard text editing and content creation,
and together with the new optional Real Time
Video Input, also allows the addition of NTSC,
S-Video, and SDI video inputs (Discuss this
option with your Product Manager). Communication
between the User PC to the Remote Hardware
Control Panel is via Ethernet, Fiber Optic
Cable, Wireless Ethernet or Broadband DSL. The
16.7M RGB Control System provides a feature-rich
solution for any large-format, outdoor,
full-color LED screen.
