Scoreboards and Video Routing in Python

Conclusion

I hope this article has given you some insight into a different type of network. When you think about the idea that similar control rooms like this exist all over the world and they each feed their own set of displays or a broadcast video system network, you can see the similarities and differences between the Internet and IP routing. You've also seen how these scoreboards are generated and controlled to support a local basketball league. Now that all the games and the season are done, it's time to hit the showers.
