THE MP-70, MP-72 AND MP-73
The MP-70 is the most popular Trans-Lux/Fair-Play scoreboard controller. It can
operate all standard Trans-Lux/Fair-Play scoreboards. It includes the following
features:
The wireless versions are MP-70 Wireless, MP-72 G2 Wireless and MP-
73 G3 Wireless.
Optional remote, hand-held control switches, which plug directly into the
MP-70/72/73, 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
simultaneously. Electronic foul/point memory for basketball allows the
operator to enter up to the fouls and points for up to 15 players per team.
Team name data tracking (for more information, see TEAM NAMES on page 82).
THE MP-50, MP-52 AND MP-53
The MP-50 is a less expensive but easy-to-use controller which can run basic
Trans-Lux/Fair-Play scoreboards that display a limited amount of information.
The wireless versions are MP-50 Wireless, MP-52 G2 Wireless and MP-53 G3
Wireless.
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 baseball 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.
