The MP-70
The MP-70 is the most popular Trans-Lux/Fair-Play scoreboard controller.
It can operate all standard Trans-Lux/Fair-Play scoreboards. It also includes
the following features
Optional remote, hand-held control switches, which plug directly into
the MP-70, which are available for game clock, shot clock and field
timer control. (For more information on hand switches, see
“OPTIONAL
HAND SWITCHES (MP-70 ONLY)” ON PAGE 11).
Capability to operate multiple scoreboards and shot timers simulta-
neously. Electronic foul/point memory for basketball allows the opera-
tor to enter up to the fouls and points for up to 15 players per team.
Team name data tracking (for more information, see “TEAM NAMESON
PAGE 119).
The MP-50
The MP-50 is a less expensive, but easy-to-use control which can run basic
Trans-Lux/Fair-Play scoreboards that display a limited amount of informa
-
tion.
Unlike the MP-70, the MP-50 cannot run basketball shot clocks, football
field timers, or a hand switch connector that can be used for any sports.
Because of these limitations, the MP-50 is most frequently used for base
-
ball scoreboards; however, it can be used for other sports as well.
Wireless and battery features
Both the MP-70 and MP-50 are capable of wireless and battery options.
Battery option
The battery-powered versions of the MP-70 and MP-50 provide flexibility,
as you can use them indoors and outdoors in areas with limited electrical
connections. The internal batteries typically run for about six hours.
