Case Study: Eyevis achieves reliable, high-performance UNIX-to-Windows large-screen connectivity with OpenText Exceed

The Full Picture with a High-Performance Connection from OpenText Exceed

Eyevis, a Reutlingen-based developer and manufacturer of high-quality large-screen systems for control rooms in power plants and public utilities, needed to connect its Windows 64-bit displays to mission-critical UNIX-based control systems. The challenge was ensuring continuous, 24/7 operation and strict backward compatibility with legacy UNIX technologies (some systems have 20–30 year lifecycles) while presenting dense, real-time information on large video walls without failures or delays.

Eyevis uses OpenText Exceed to provide a high-performance, backward-compatible connectivity layer between Windows video walls and UNIX control systems. The solution delivers seamless, low-latency display of complex control-room data (including large video walls and multi-source inputs), preserves customers’ investments in legacy systems, and has proven reliable in long-term deployments with clients such as ABB, Siemens and ThyssenKrupp.
