There are a number of factors to consider when choosing the appropriate size for your message center, such as location, physical limitations, budget considerations and zoning restrictions. It is also important to consider the sign’s intended use, including how large a message you want to display at one time and what other types of programming besides texts you require.
Lights, color, and action! Moving pictures have always captured attention. Electronic signs take advantage of this fact with moving text and images. In the few seconds it takes your customers to pass your sign, animations can grab attention and leave them with an image concept that I more last than words.
Messages traveling over a short sign can be very hard to read. For this reason, it is important to calculate in advance the average message length you intend to run on your sign. This will help to determine the size of sign you need. IF you run text on your sign, it is recommended to use at least a 64 pixel matrix because a typical message contains about give pixels per character.
Message centers are typically measured by character height. A single monochrome character is several bulbs high and approximately five bulbs wide. The spacing between bulbs determines how tall the character is.
