StudioScreen

Studio Clock , Now Playing Display , Status Indicators


Updated Sunday 29 April 2012

Our latest Twitter...

StudioScreen is the successor to MiniClock+StudioScreenFree (see bottom of page) which was a simple analogue clock and status display that interfaced to the mAirList playout software.  This is a display for use on wall-mounted LCD monitors - it looks great on a 4:3 17" screen or perhaps something a bit larger, like a 22"...

As well as the clock+date displays, the current song from your playout system can be shown along with 4 status indicators for Mic Live, Phone, XD and Door/Alarm.  StudioScreen is fully functional for 30 minutes at a time until registered - discounts are available for multiple purchases.  The LED indicators can be hidden so if you don't need all 4 displayed, you can configure just the ones you need.

Controlling the LEDs is accomplished via game/joystick buttons and/or Velleman K8055 USB interface.  If you require assistance with the interfacing, we can provide an assembled+tested USB Joystick or K8055 interface.

     

Home/Personal users can purchase for just £30 - this excludes the TCP/UDP control of the LEDs.
