Re: Field Electronics

The scoring panels this year were running what looked like a version of Windows. An application would launch to all the scores to be entered via touch screen. These were then connected via ethernet cable to the ethernet switch in the SCC.

There were also a pair of DMX boxes controlling the lights in the tower. A harness of wires from two towers were run to the DMX box. I'm sure the harness contained wires for the lights at the base and the top as well as the signal switch at the top of the tower. The DMX boxes were connected to the SCC ethernet switch as well. The DMX boxes were also linked to each other via a 75' ethernet cable.
