The Marquee console runs on a custom build Processor running the Windows XP Embedded © operating system. An embedded operating system means that you only have what you need to run the console; none of the extra user configurable gadgets have been included in the OS therefore its overall size, efficiency and stability has been greatly optimized. As an operator on the system, you have very limited control of the OS's parameters guaranteeing that system integrity is never compromised (i.e., you can't install your own stuff or 'get' to the OS).
Since we do use Windows XP, there are a lot of features that we can take advantage of, such as Internet Explorer, MS Media Player, Outlook Express, MS Paint and Windows Explorer. You can also connect this console up to your office network and take advantage of services like DHCP networking, mapped network drives and printers or Internet connectivity. Windows also offers features specifically designed with accessibility in mind for those with disabilities.
To allow you at these special features, you use the Marquee Control Panel. To launch the control panel from Marquee, press the [S4] softkey when no fixtures are selected or press the FAV button on the processor's keyboard. Click on the items below to find out more specific information.
