The readability of this would depended entirely on your ticket volume. What we have run into is that once you get to a point where you have more than 10-15 events per day that you are tracking, then the large screen display becomes pretty useless if you want to show them all.
I attached a weeks worth of display from our ticketing system calendar for reference, and this is only the maintenance tickets displayed in this view. You would need to aggregate them to a simple number happening that day to show more than a week at a time if you are a high volume shop. > On Oct 24, 2014, at 12:31 PM, Jared Mauch <ja...@puck.nether.net > <mailto:ja...@puck.nether.net>> wrote: > > >> On Oct 24, 2014, at 10:38 AM, chris <tknch...@gmail.com >> <mailto:tknch...@gmail.com>> wrote: >> >> I was looking into something like this a while back and one thing that >> didnt seem to exist but I thought would be cool is if you could have a x86 >> box or appliance that could take video output of lets say a couple virtual >> machines and encode it into a standard TV signal so your average TV with a >> builtin tuner and have each VM's display encoded into a different TV >> channel.
