Set up the stadium ribbon board

A ribbon (or fascia) board is a long, short LED strip. VenueOS drives it with a fixed score zone plus a rotating reel of content.

Ribbon content

In Set up → Ribbon content you control what rides the reel:

• Content presets — toggle which content types appear (the game situation, crowd messages, the roster, sponsors, image slides).
• Speed — how fast the reel rotates: Slow, Normal, Fast, or Very fast.
• Score — how many times the scorebug repeats around the ribbon (see below).

Custom messages

Under Set up → Ribbon messages, type your own lines — one per line — and they scroll in place of the default crowd prompts. Leave it empty to use the defaults.

Ribbon images

Under Set up → Ribbon images, add full-bleed images — sponsor banners, welcome art — that fill the ribbon as the reel rotates.

Score recurrence — for a full-bowl wrap

A straight ribbon along one wall needs the score in one place. A ribbon that wraps the whole bowl needs the score to repeat so it's readable from every seat.

The Score control sets how many times the scorebug repeats: Auto (sizes the count to the ribbon's width) or a fixed 1×–4×. For a continuous full-bowl wrap, raise it so a fan anywhere in the venue can glance up and see the score.

What resolution to make images

• Scoreboard images — 1920 × 1080.
• Ribbon images — match your ribbon's pixel canvas. Height in pixels = panel height (mm) ÷ pixel pitch (mm); width = total length (mm) ÷ pitch. A 1000 mm-tall, 45 ft ribbon at a 3.9 mm pitch is roughly 3500 × 256. Author at that — or 2× for crispness, and let it scale down.
