Display Systems

Display software has been an important part of our business since 1998 when we produced an auction bid system for Christies London. This was the start of our Plasma display solutions, that evolved into Information Display System (IDS) and now include special packages for Hospitals and Courts.


Multi-Screen Capability

The latest version of our display software allows a single PC to drive up to eight independant screens. This can greatly reduce the hardware surface area and power consumption.

Specialist Applications


As mentioned above, we have developed a number of custom applications to target specific needs. Amoung these are:

Court Houses and Complexes

Hospitals - Accident andEmergency, and Outpatients


IDS - Roles and Key Features


IDS is in its 3rd version as a network solution for multiple display screens, with one or more administration workstations.

The system began as a Rich Text display application, and has grown to include support for web pages and stored html pages. The system displays slides as collections of pages, that can also include photographs as JPEG format files.

IDS includes facilities to update page content dynamically from any MS Access database, through the use of templates. This can be implemented with a schedule system to produce pages in a timely manner. This tool has been used to great effect in the courts where listing information can be produced dynamically to direct users to the appropriate court room. We have also produced bespoke solutions to suite customized information formats.

In Brief...

  • Flexible display page formats, including html, rtf and jpg

  • Manage several screens from a single administration workstation

  • Automate display content creation with our powerful data to rtf tools
