General instructions for media usage in the Jidoka scoreboard system.

The media shown on the scoreboard (team names and logos, advertisements, etc.) must be uploaded to the scoreboard system before the match via USB stick. The media is supplied on the stick to the control tablet, which then transfers the material to the scoreboard.

The file transfer is explained in more detail in the category-specific instructions.

In case of problems, please contact support@jidoka.fi.

In problem situations

If you encounter problems with the scoreboard, please proceed as follows:

• Please check that the connection ball visible in the top right corner of the controller is green
• If red, check that all Ethernet cables are connected to the correct ports as per the images in the previous section
• If the light is green but the system isn’t working, try restarting the entire scoreboard system by clicking ”Restart System” in the menu at the top left. This will restart the system and take approximately 2 minutes.
• If these don't help, send a message. support@jidoka.fi and write a description of the problem, and when the problem occurred (date and time). With this information, resolving the problem will be easier.

If the sound from the videos or the buzzer is not audible, check that the volume is turned up sufficiently on the control tablet and adjusted on the ice rink mixer. Master volume high enough. The scoreboard is connected to the channel CH1/RADIO. Also check that this has not been set to zero.

Here is a picture yours from the hall mixer with the correct controls circled for the output board.
