[SML] Clock/timer for back of audience

[Alf Sauve']

I have been through this exercise several times in the past few years.

If you want 4 digit clock/counter then there are a number of options. 
If you want 6 digits then things get rather pricy.  I don't know why 
since practically all analog clocks have second hands, but for digital 
ones it evident adds up.

I bought a couple of cheap (<$50) Chinese import, 6 digits ones for the 
control rooms.  They're okay, but after 4 years one has lost a whole 
line of pixels.  That and they don't keep good time.  I have to reset 
every month.

For a rear-of-house, time-of-day, I bought a Big Time Clock red 4" LED 4 
digit one and it has worked very well.  Has not need resetting since I 
put it up about 6 months ago.  Easy to read from 90 feet away.

For our main venue, management want White LEDs.  I went to BRG 
Precision.  Got a 4" high, 4 Digit LED precision clock.  Came set to our 
time zone and correct time.  US made.  It has so many functions I'm 
almost afraid to even go into the menu.  Comes with a remote so you 
don't have to take it off the wall. Expensive?  Sure, but highly 
recommended product and company.  You can pay for the precision level 
you want.

On the very, very high end they're accurate up to 0.0012 seconds per 
year.    I don't even know how you'd reset it if NBS did one of the 
"adjustments".

I opted for just level two accuracy.  1 minute / year.
