GIS ON DISPLAY
GeoConnexion International Magazine - May 2007
Hardware display technology enables greater productivity and decreases the time required to complete tasks. Matrox Graphics Inc's. CAD, GIS, dispatch, security and process control Business Development Manager Samuel A. Recine, and Sales Representative Liv Stewart discuss the advances in graphics technology for high-reliability environments.
Working with GIS information on a single display is inefficient in many applications. Even high resolution single monitors often do not provide enough desktop real estate to manage the breadth of information contained in or associated with geospatial data. Overlapping windows hide significant information and a lot of time can be wasted toggling between minimized applications, query windows, or data windows.
Technological advances in graphics hardware and software have introduced new possibilities for professionals working with GIS data. A notable technological advancement is the ability to power multiple monitors from a single computer, often known as "multi-display", "multi-monitor", or "multi-screen". With the use of multiple monitors, onscreen information can be easily moved from one display to another as if all the displays in the system are part of one large display. Geotechnology professionals from many industries have adopted the use of multi-display systems as the productivity gains associated with working on more than one display are leading to noticeable results.
