Video wall and visual display experts Ultimate Visual Solutions (UVS) have developed a unique alarm system that alerts clients to on-screen colour changes. The system, which operates within UVS’ Lucidity video wall controller and control software, was developed following a request from a major financial institution based in New York. Once installed, it will be used to alert staff to major downturns in financial and shares markets, when stocks or currencies starts to be displayed as red rather than green.
But the alert system can also be used in any control room where on-screen colour changes represent major fluctuations, such as power stations or traffic monitoring centres. Staff can set pre-set alarm points on the video wall screen and are alerted by a visual and audio alarm. UVS Managing Director Steve Murphy said: “The client has requested that our Lucidity video wall solution provides an audible and visual alarm on the video wall to indicate that, for example, an alarm window has changed from green to red state showing a severe currency change.”
