Sign-Pro is an App for programming Alpha and Betabrite signs with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.
Use Sign-Pro to compose, preview, and send messages to your Alpha or Betabrite sign.
Dictate and type your messages using Sign-Pro Editor. Easily insert travel modes, fonts, colors, built-in
animations, time, date, and other eye-catching features into your messages.
Sign-Pro is available through the Apple App-Store. You receive a free trial that shows all Sign-Pro features
including the in-app sign simulator. Sign-Pro will only send a demo message until you follow the In-App Purchase

Message Formats
Mode Codes
Mode Codes control how each line of your message enters and exits the display. Please see the Sign-Pro User Manual for additional codes.
Mode Codes always follow a Position Code.
Sign-Pro prompts for a Position Code after a Mode Code is selected.
Position and Mode Codes always display in pairs with the selected Position Code displayed first (Examples:
Top Hold, Bottom Roll Up, Fill Snow).
When Position and Mode Codes are used at the beginning of a message (or line), they control the way the
message (or line) enters and exits the display, unless a trailing Mode Code is inserted at the end of the
message (or line) to specify a different way for the message (or line) to exit the display.
Roll Left Mode using 7-Pixel Characters on a Two-Line Sign
Roll Left Mode using 16-Pixel Characters on a Two-Line Sign
The Roll Left Mode Code causes the message (or line) to enter from right to left. The Roll Right Mode Code at the end of the message causes the message (or line) to exit from left to right.
Sign Simulator
Preview your messages with Sign-Pro Simulator. It shows you how your messages will look on your sign. Sign-Pro Simulator is especially helpful when your sign is located somewhere where you can't see your message after you send it.
Show Your Message in the Simulator.
