From scoreboard signal to live data in four steps

Plugs into the controller you already have

One cable from the scoreboard controller to ScoreRelay is usually all it takes. The device listens to the exact same signal that drives the display, so nothing about how your operators work changes.

• Wired inputs on 1/4 in TRS, DB25, RS232, and RJ45 connectors, with adapters included
• Daktronics 5000 series wireless input over its Gen 6 radio, separate from the wired TRS connector
• NEVCO MPCW-7 and generic NEVCO data decoding, and Fair-Play MP80 over USB
• Configuration is picked once and stored on the device, so it survives power cycles

Eight manufacturers, staged rollout

Daktronics 5000 is fully supported over 1/4 in TRS, DB25, or its separate Gen 6 wireless radio. OES and Varsity are fully supported over RS232. The Fair-Play MP80 (USB only) and NEVCO MPCW-7 and generic NEVCO data are fully supported. OES 4-pin XLR, Fair-Play MP70, All American RJ45, Varsity 5-pin DIN, Electro-Mech LX and Spectrum over 1/4 in TRS, and Daktronics 4000, 3000, and 1600 over 1/4 in TRS are in active testing.

Clean game state, not raw bytes

The decoder layer turns controller traffic into structured JSON fields per sport. Clients read simple names like home_score, clock, and period instead of parsing raw bytes.

• Basketball: scores, game clock, shot clock, period, timeouts, fouls, bonus, possession, team stats
• Baseball: score, inning, ball/strike/out count, hits, errors, pitch count, baserunner state
• Football, soccer, volleyball, hockey, lacrosse, wrestling each expose their own field set
• Fields publish individually, so subscribers can take only what they need

Two ways online, zero drama

ScoreRelay connects to your venue network over wired Ethernet first. If no network drop is reachable, it falls back to Wi-Fi automatically, so a missing cable never takes a game night down.

• Wired Ethernet as the primary connection for reliability
• Automatic Wi-Fi fallback when Ethernet has no link
• First-run setup access point: join from a phone and pick your Wi-Fi network, no tools required
• Status page shows connection state, firmware version, uptime, and the live scoreboard at a glance

Local bridge for boards without network access

Some controllers sit where no network cable can reach. Two ScoreRelay devices, or a ScoreRelay device and a ScoreRelay Wireless Receiver, form a local bridge: one sends the decoded scoreboard data, the other receives it and serves it over HTTP, MQTT, and TCP like any other feed.

• Pairs two ScoreRelay devices, or a ScoreRelay device with a ScoreRelay Wireless Receiver
• The transmitting side stays offline by design, so a bridge needs exactly one cloud subscription
