Features

Scoring Consoles

Score Big With These Stylish Consoles
These scoring consoles deliver outstanding, non-stop performance, quality and knockout style.

Choose between our easy-to-use keypad or high-tech touchscreen consoles.

Our single pedestal, wishbone pedestal and tabletop mounts offer endless installation flexibility, with highly durable construction to withstands high-traffic use. The sleek design complements any environment, and the small footprint gives you the ultimate in flexibility during installation.

The two-way intercom allows bowlers and the front desk to communicate, while the friendly, simple user interface—whether high-tech touchscreens or keypads — keeps bowlers coming back for more.

Special glow-in-the-dark effects are also available to enhance the cosmic bowling experience.

    Scoring Monitors

    Vector Plus HD shines brightest to your bowlers on our new Samsung HD LED monitors – perfect for displaying scoresheets, exciters, TV programming and more. You control all content remotely from the front desk, with the option to display scrolling text messages and ads whenever you like.

    These state-of-the-art displays come in screen sizes of 32”, 40”, 46” and now 55”. Each features 1920×1080p resolution with direct-lit LED technology for a sharper, detail-rich picture. And thinner bezels maximize viewable screen area while giving these monitors a sleek, stylish look.

    These monitors use only about half the energy of the last-generation models. They are commercial grade, made to run 16+ hours per day. And each is covered by a limited 3-year warranty including on-site service and support.

    Available in single, double or triple monitor configurations with continuous or standard support structure.

    Note: Brunswick also offers legacy system support for centers with Frameworx®, AS 80/90 and Classic scoring that want to upgrade to new monitors without changing their current scoring setup. Contact your Brunswick representative to learn more.

      Display Controller

      Sends the HD signal of all Vector Plus HD content to your monitors. These compact units are fanless with no other moving parts, driven by Intel® CoreTM i3 processors that generate stunning visual quality and provide tireless dual-core performance.

      Each Video Interface can feed up to two monitors, so only one is needed per lane pair. Through its dual HDMI-out ports, the interface sends uncompressed audio/video data in 100% digital form to produce stunning pixel-by-pixel accuracy.

      Pinsetter Controls

      A Great Way To Keep Downtime…Down.
      The Mechanic’s System puts the power right in your hands with instant messaging for easy wireless communication between the front desk and technician. Seamlessly interfaces with any manufacturer’s pinsetter to control start, stop, reset, hold, and bumper functions, as well as report and track errors. Also includes special features for GS® pinsetters including real-time mechanic error notification alerts and Stop Summary Reports. Even allows technicians to set any pin combination remotely and view stops by Error Code.

      With this exclusive Brunswick offering, you can increase equipment reliability and trim maintenance costs—all while saving your staff countless steps and valuable time.

      GS-X On-Demand Pinsetting
      Now you can set any pin combination—on-demand—during open play or from the front desk. On-demand pinsetting is a real benefit to serious bowlers looking for split/spare practice, and an easy way to re-establish pin positions after inadvertent resets. System integrates effortlessly with the Mechanic’s Wireless Handheld.

      Ticket Depot

      Encourage bowlers to visit your center by making the game more entertaining for young children and the young at heart. Grow revenue by increasing foot traffic to the game room or obtain the benefits of redemption without a game room investment.

      Drive incremental bowling revenue by charging a premium for Ticket Depot games or create special event packages for birthday parties, holiday gatherings or corporate functions.

      LED back-lit design and “glow” edges create a sense of excitement and fun. Ticket Depot exciters play on the overhead monitors when an event is achieved (strike, spare, open, etc.).

      “It’s a no-brainer for birthday parties,” says Marc Wiese, general manager of Airway Lanes in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Besides adding value to their party packages, Ticket Depot helps Airway manage big groups of little kids. “They head straight to the ticket box after each roll. It keeps them out of the ball returns.”

        Magnetic Card Readers

        The Vx 810 and MX850 both work equally well with Vector Plus HD and can be used by any center that wants to take payment cards with Vector Plus HD. It is possible (and supported by Vector Plus HD) to order a combination of devices for a center (i.e. two MX850s for the front desk and one Vx810 for the bar). For many centers this may be the best configuration.
