Large Display Systems For Police, Fire Departments And Other Emergency Services

The growing danger of criminal activities, not only since September 11th 2001, and the increasing risk of natural disasters such as floods and hurricanes have lead to a rising demand for surveillance systems in the security-related branches. The information material from various sources has to be displayed in real-time and highest reliability in the according operating centres of these services. The coordination of surveillance, control and planning of reaction activities is the decisive task for the operators. Therefore all involved institutions have to be interconnected and have to work together to fulfil their purposes appropriately. Multiple sources have to be visualised on large screen walls, which can be delivered in almost any size. For example, it is possible to display a large number of video cameras together with graphics and other signals, simultaneously. An almost unlimited number of different windows can be placed on the large screen display in almost any size.
Large screen systems are predestined for such applications, since they save a lot of space, weight and energy compared with conventional monitor solutions. The major advantage of such systems is the high resolution and the integrated display of video and data signals.
