[. . . ] Applications at the forefront of technology The Montreal Exchange The Montreal Exchange plays an important role in the Canadian economic market. Established in 1874, the Exchange is recognized as the Canadian leader in derivative products and trades between 40, 000 and 50, 000 contracts a day. [. . . ] "We wanted to make their jobs easier by using a display system that could operate in real-time and provide traders with instant information that is easy to interpret. " the solution "Traders are under constant pressure to make instant transaction decisions. . . We wanted to make their jobs easier by using a display system that could operate in real-time. " After evaluating different brands and technology for the display systems, the Montreal Exchange selected three 42-inch NEC plasmas for their trading floor. The NEC plasma displays' 16:9 wide screen format allows the Exchange to display nearly ten times as much data in the same amount of wall space. The plasma displays also are thin enough to be stationed directly in the trading pit, and light enough to mount on its perimeter walls. With over 20 traders simultaneously engaging in transactions in a single 8 by 12 foot base, the plasma display panels save a considerable amount of space and can easily be viewed from wide angles. In addition, the low heat emission of plasma technology enables this application to be used in the tight constraints of a trading pit. The near perfect color and image quality required by the Exchange also is achievable through NEC's exclusive capsulated color filter technology, which renders contrast and brightness comparable to a CRT-based monitor and eliminates the problem of color distortion created from UV discharge, resulting in realistic color representation. The advanced panel design of the monitors also allows for smoother and more life-like graphics and video images. The plasma display panels work by consolidating information extracted by Exchange operators and transmitting the information to the trading pits. This allows a single operator to remotely control the information shown on all three display panels, including market data and graphs. By networking the plasma displays, the Exchange provides live information in real time, allowing traders to proactively respond to market fluctuations. In addition, the Exchange can now feature live television broadcasts to ensure traders are kept informed of breaking world news. the benefits Now, with a single board, traders minimize the time that they previously spent filtering information from 20 computer screens.
