Plazoom: a complete home-entertainment system, allowing a host PC to display streaming images on multiple plasma screens that act as client. Each TV can play different movies, audio, photos, access email or control home functions simultaneously and independently.

SignagePro: a combination of hardware and software that allows a single PC to drive and control multiple remote screens, simultaneously and independently, from a central location. Each screen is capable of running unique programs, just as though it were operated by a separate computer. The SignagePro software is compatible with all industry standards, such as Flash files, Video .MPG, HTML, QuickTime, PowerPoint, and .JPG.

Presenter: a combination of hardware and software that allows a single PC to drive and control up to 16 screens, simultaneously and independently, from a central location. Each screen is capable of running unique programs, just as though it were a separate computer. For example, one screen could be running a PowerPoint presentation, while a second screen browses the net and checks email, a third watches a streaming video using the internet, and a fourth displays the results of a database search.

ApplicaServer: a system designed to provide access data and run applications from any type of device, using any operating system, from any location. It allows PCs running Windows to receive incoming connections from multiple remote devices, allowing each client full access to the server and all of its software concurrently and independently.

All users have their own Windows desktop and can work completely independently, just as if they were using separate computers. ApplicaXP allows users to surf the Internet, send and receive email and files, run Microsoft Office applications, play music, and watch movies all at the same time.
