Over the past 3 years IdeasAnvil has been developing a number of multimedia player systems. The core of these systems is a multiple windowing video system, and other features have been developed with the experience we have gathered developing and installing multimedia systems.
The range of players includes a software-only install, a 'lite' player, a standard rack-mounted player and an 'SE' rack-mounted player with a quad-video display and RAID disk array for excellent mpeg video playback.
Our systems have been used in a number of prestige venues and are in use every day with a range of clients
