The output from the computer is video compatible so the network can consist of televisions in, for example, hotel rooms, airports or shopping arcades. A network consists of a Master Station and at least one Player Station. The screens are then linked to the Player Stations. Once information has been entered on the Master Station it can be immediately available on every television in the network. Touch screens can also be connected into a network so that interactive information and point of sale applications are possible.
Many options are available for setting up networks.
The Master Station controls the system and can be used for developing presentations. It also transmits ScalaScripts to the Player Stations which, in turn, link to the TV units. Different scripts can be transmitted to each Player Station if desired. Statistics are accumulated about each page and there is a billing utility that can be used to analyse the statistics and charge information providers accordingly. If InfoChannel is used prices vary with the configuration to be supported.
