Which character height do I need?
Rule of thumb: a countdown clock is clearly legible up to about 5 metres per centimetre of character height (in good viewing conditions). Choose based on your viewing distance — we select the right model for your exact situation.
| Viewing distance | Character height (rule of thumb) | Typical setup |
|---|---|---|
| up to ~10 m | 2–5 cm | office, studio, reception |
| up to ~25 m | ~5 cm | sports hall, meeting room |
| up to ~75 m | ~15 cm | production hall, car park |
| up to ~250 m | ~50 cm | large hall, outdoor entrance |
| up to ~500 m | ~1 m | factory site, event |
| large outdoor | 2 m and up | festival, stadium, public countdown |
