Case Study: TMX Group achieves real-time, broadcast-quality financial displays across Canada with Omnivex software

TMX Group utilizes Omnivex software to display live news and real-time financial data

TMX Group, owner of the Toronto Stock Exchange and a diversified suite of trading, clearing and information services, needed a digital signage platform to display live, real‑time financial data across LCDs, LEDs and projection screens in multiple locations and to allow media partners to customize on‑air backdrops. TMX engaged Omnivex early in the Broadcast Centre design and deployed Omnivex Display and Omnivex DataPipe (with NewsLink, IOLink and the Broadcaster Interface) to manage and distribute fast‑moving market data from a wide range of feeds.

Omnivex implemented DataPipe as the central data engine and used Omnivex Display to drive a 22‑foot media wall (fourteen 70‑inch cubes), LED tickers, seven LED wallboards and multiple LCDs, integrating Crestron control and external data partners. The result is a fully automated, redundant system that runs 24/7 (with weekly maintenance reboot), can be operated by a single technician, supports immediate content updates and survived nearly ten years of continuous operation—delivering one of the world’s most advanced financial display environments for TMX Group.
