Promwad has completed custom-designed operating program for advertising
display controllers for the leading Russian enterprise that
produces large and extra-large LED information and advertising
displays. This software platform is based on SUSE Linux10.2 operating
system. It contains display emulator with preview function. The
operating program allows working with different resolutions of
advertising displays and it supports various image color modes.
The user’s interaction with internal functions of visualizer is
provided via graphical Web-interface. |
