Holroyd City Council was looking to replace an out of date manual scoring system at their heavily used sports oval in Merrylands. They needed an electronic scoreboard that could allow instant communication of scores to viewers, as well as provide an opportunity to sell advertising during events to generate funding for the continuing activities at the oval.
Danthonia Designs was commissioned with the project to supply and install the 5.76m by 2.24m scoreboard. The full colour LED screen has a P-10 resolution and can be used to display scores from numerous sports including cycling, cricket and rugby. A wireless communication method was used to connect the sign to the scoring computer. The scoreboard also has the potential to use software integrated to the Cricket Australia website allowing for scores and player statistics from the game to be uploaded directly to this site.
