In new displays as well? Or are there some legacy considerations for the old displays that are still around?
I saw a Windows OOM error screen (something modern, win 10 at least) on my local transit providers in tram screen. One of them, the other 10 were working fine. That means that they each screen has its own os and hardware that needs to go with it.
How is that financially dependable or even practical to maintain?
Hardware solution: video signal splitter
Software solution: embedded controller board (pi1 would be good enough or some industry comparable product) for own os and software to run the information grabbed from the network. As images or as data that is then rendered.
I get that supporting legacy sucks. But it must be cheaper (not to mention easier and good on the brains for the it people) to get this stuff updated and kick it out. I kinda get it with banking mainframes and such but in this case there is nearly no risk involved when it goes down and needs to be fixed. And it went down anyways.
3.11 is still used by Deutsche Bahn for display systems.
