When it comes to ticker displays, whether stock tickers, sports tickers, or retail tickers, customers have a lot of questions. At SunriseSESA Technologies, we specialize in LED ticker displays and we’d like to answer as many questions as we can. Here are some of the most common questions that we hear from prospective customers:
The name is based on ticker symbols which are unique one to five-letter codes used by the stock exchanges to identify a company. A tick is any change in the price of the stock, (either up or down) and hence, where the name “ticker” display originated. Ticker tape refers to the narrow ribbon of paper this information was originally printed on (since the importance of this information was short-lived, the older paper tapes were traditionally thrown out windows during a “ticker tape” parade).
An LED ticker display is a messaging platform that uses LED technology to digitally display information. The information (letters, numbers, and graphics) is viewed in a single line that scrolls past the viewer. The rate of movement of the imagescan be controlled, but must be slow enough to be read by viewers.
LED ticker displays work by receiving real-time data from a software feed, and then displaying the information in a linear fashion to keep viewers up to date.
The main three types of information displayed on tickers are stocks, sports, and retail information. Tickers can be programmed to display specific information based on the software purchased with the system.
A stock ticker is a report of the price of certain securities traded on the stock market. Because these numbers are updated continuously throughout the trading session, ticker displays are used to provide up-to-the-minute information.
A sports ticker displays scores, highlights and news headlines of sporting events as the games are played as well as final scores.
Retail tickers can be used to display any text the retailer finds helpful to their customers from sales and specials, the latest news headlines or the daily weather report.
Every company is different. At SunriseSESA, we have fast ticker turnaround and can usually deliver a ticker within eight weeks of when you place your order. Setup typically only takes one day.

An LED ticker display is basically a messaging medium utilizing LED technology as the core digital display device. A ticker typically shows a line of text, numbers, or graphics scrolling past the viewer. The rate of movement of the images is variable but must be at a rate that is comfortably read by the viewer.
Video (think of television or film) is a series of still images that, when viewed in order at a certain speed or frame rate, gives the appearance of full motion. The human visual system can process 10 to 12 images per second and perceive them individually, while higher rates are perceived as motion.
We can make them custom lengths. Ours are extendable up to 500 feet.
Our ticker displays are extremely versatile and can fit just about anywhere you can imagine in both indoor and outdoor environments. Our outdoor cabinets are designed to handle all normal weather conditions including temperature changes, wind, rain, snow, ice, sun, and extreme heat.
No. Ticker displays can turn corners (inside and outside corners), and even run in circles (display on inside curve or outside curve of circle).
With back or ceiling mounting options, you can run them horizontally or vertically, suspend them from the ceiling, have them jump open spaces like doorways, turn corners (inside and outside corners), and even run in circles (display on inside curve or outside curve of circle).
Our customers love our easy-to-use programming options. You can have standalone messaging, integrate your ticker display with your own data feed or use third-party data feeds for sports, news, or financial content.
1) Schedule different content and/or messages for different times of day/week
2) Schedule the display to be blank (extending the life of the ticker and saving power)
3) Read in a list of ticker symbols from a text file (for example, a list of stocks in a student portfolio) and show prices for those stocks on the ticker
4) Display your branding/logo on the ticker
5) Use any Windows font on the system - many clients like to use their corporate font when messaging
