What Is an Electronic Message Center (EMC)?

An electronic message center (EMC) — also called a programmable LED sign, digital marquee, or LED monument sign — is an outdoor display made of weather-sealed LED modules that can be programmed to show scheduled messages, graphics, time and temperature, and full-motion video. Utah businesses use EMC signs to boost foot traffic, advertise specials, and replace static signage that has to be changed by hand.
