Scoring System Overview

In the system, various software and devices collaborate to tally the points for each ball, with all devices interconnected via an Ethernet network. The essential devices include the Front Desk Computer, Scorer Computer, Pinsetter Interface, Pinsetter, Overhead Monitor. The lane camera and bowler console are optional depends on the pinsetter model and center requirement. The critical software are the Center Manager and Scoring Software. The Mobile Application and Online Booking are optional.

The following diagram shows the whole system components:

(1) Pinsetter Side Network Switch: A regular can be used. This is highly recommended that up to 10 lanes use a shared switch to increase the reliability of the system.
(2) Pinsetter Interface: This key device is designed to communicate with various models of pinsetters.
(3) Pinsetter: Various models of pinsetters from Brunswick, AMF, SES, and others are supported.
(4) Camera: If a pinsetter lacks a system to detect fallen pins, like the AMF 8290 series, an IP camera will be used.
(5) Overhead Display: Any TV or monitor with an HDMI input can be used. If the center already has displays, purchasing new ones is unnecessary. However, it is advisable to use a TV with a 1920x1080 (FHD) resolution and CEC communication capability.
(6) Scorer Computer: The scorer computer is the 'brain' of each bowling lane, handling tasks like communicating with the pinsetter, capturing and processing camera images, calculating scores, displaying them, and even playing videos. With each lane having its own dedicated scorer, they operate independently from one another.
(7) TV Side Network Switch or Access Point: A multi-port switch can reduce the number of ethernet cables that need to go to pinsetter side which can save a lot for new installation. However, if a center already has network cables per lane, this switch can be omitted.
(8) Bowler Console: Each bowling lane can be equipped with an optional bowler console, allowing players to control various functions such as resetting the pinsetter, changing their names and scores, among other features.
