Financial Markets
Financial dealers and traders need masses of timely and accurate information at their fingertips at all times. Multi-screen solutions are ideal in this environment and many take advantage of the live video and TV overlay options available to them, giving access to up to the minute figures, news and data to keep them at the forefront of the market. The financial market place account for many four screen system sales throughout the world.
Command and Control Applications
Multi-screen systems play a crucial part in command and control centres. Two, four or more screens, each with live video overlay can be installed in one machine to give access to a wide source of rapidly changing data. Typical customers include fire, police and ambulance as well as other support services.
Computer Aided Design, Manufacturing and Engineering: (CAD/CAM/CAE)
The CAD market was one of the earliest adopters of dual screen technology. Our first graphics controllers were used by AutoCAD and MicroStation designers where specialist graphics cards displayed the CAD applications. With CAD applications CAD engineers can view their drawings on one screen at high resolution and their toolboxes, palettes and related applications on the other.
Desktop Publishing
With DTP departments expanding into the realms of multimedia and interactive designs, designers need access to a greater variety of applications simultaneously. For example, your graphics design / paint application open on one screen and your page layout application on the other. Designers can quickly switch from one to the other without losing sight of either.
Video Editing
Video editing has been a keen user of multi-screen operation for many years, with the editing application on one screen and the resulting output on another, or even run the video editing suite across all screens to give complete visibility.
Video Conferencing
Video Conferencing is an ideal application for multi-screen cards with live video overlay capabilities. View the video feedback and use the other screen for related applications under discussion.
General Business
Applications can also benefit users in the office where email and database / diary applications can remain open and visible at all times on one screen, and 'working applications'; e.g. word processors, spreadsheets etc. can be displayed on the other. Additionally, page layout applications can be open on one screen, and graphics packages on the other
giving greater flexibility.
Programming Teams
Programming Teams can reap great rewards from running dual screen development stations, where they can have the development tools on one screen and the application on another, or keep the online help visible while they work.
Medical Imaging
Medical Imaging is becoming one of the primary markets for multi-screen solutions with PCs providing the display technologies, since computers are used to analyse, manipulate, communicate and store images. Imaging engineers use applications that require the large display area of multiple monitors to access images and data.
