1. Connect ScoreLinkII to your ScoreBoard System.
1A. Locate the Scoreboard Interface cable. This is how you will connect your ScoreLink to your existing scoreboard system.
You may have received a cable specific for your scoreboard type with a single connector, or a cable with 3 connectors on the end (the standard multi-interface cable). Included in the standard multi-interface options are connectors for multiple scoreboard types.
Note: The cables are color coded for identification: (Gray=Daktronics/Electromech,
Red=Fairplay, and Black=Nevco).
If you did not receive an appropriate cable, or require a custom type of scoreboard cable, please contact the United States Sportzcast Support at (+1) 321-888-3800 ext 2.
1B. Connect the 9-pin connector to the device labeled “SCOREBOARD” & hand tighten the 2 screws to secure the cable.
1C. The other end of the cable connects to your existing scoreboard system.
Note: It is strongly recommended to connect the ScoreLink II in a permanent fashion within
the venue.
You can connect to the system either:
-
At the scoreboard distribution unit (if available). This is typically located within an equipment rack inside the venue. Connect the other end of the scoreboard interface cable to an unused, available “output” port. Depending on your scoreboard type & installation options, you may require a custom interface cable. Please contact Sportzcast for specific information if needed.
-
As a backup option, you can connect to the venue scoreboard controller itself. Locate a spare, unused output port on the venue scoreboard controller and connect the other end of the cable.
2. Power the BOT on
2A. Your device can receive power directly via the connected USB-B cable provided with the ScoreLink, to a Computer.
Once connected, you will begin to see lights flash on the bottom of the ScoreLink device.
3. Install ScoreConnectIII on your PC
3A. Your device only needs to be configured once upon initial installation. To accomplish this, you will need to create a Sportzcast account and download the ScoreConnect3 tool from
