Room-information system

The room-information system at the ICM makes it possbile to depict multimedia content using split-screen technology. Examples include directions or graphics showing how to get to an event or broadcasting video images. Plasma/TFT monitors are installed at each of the 19 room entrances and controlled by a central computer system. The system can provide each monitor with its own layout. 

A central network makes it possible to transmit live video images from other rooms in various video formats as well as live broadcasts of television programming from cable and satellite networks. An online link to the server also makes it possible to display pages programmed in HTML which can also be called up from other servers outside the ICM.

A special programming schedule compiled especially for your event determines the sequence in which pre-defined graphic content is broadcast. Changes during programming can be processed independently of the system and activated at a stipulated point in time. The highly flexible room-information system can even accommodate a news ticker (line of text that moves along top or bottom of screen horizontally) to display the latest headlines. Any text size, color and speed are possible.
