The old Calder system (current stored away in a shipping container out there somewhere) used normal traffic light units with suitable coloured lenses.
The Winton system uses a traffic light sized panel full of coloured LEDs.
That's not Winton by the way.......
Being LED based it uses less power and is able to be done using solar power rather getting 240vAC to each marshal post.
It does work in a similar fashion in that there is a remote control for each post but Race Control has the ability to operate things from upstairs as required. Was real handy during the V8 Test Day last month.
