Our products

Whether you want a product that simply informs, or one that your customer can interact with, we can provide you with a system that is easy to use and cost-effective.

We offer an array of technology to suit a variety of different purposes.

GENUS Cloud brings our display technology forward into the era of Internet-driven cloud solutions. The primary objective was to reduce costs by eliminating the need for local shop-based content storage. However, this is just one of many benefits delivered by this technology.

Firstly, in addition to reduced costs, no local storage means that these devices are instantly on – i.e. no wait time for content to synchronise – but it also means that a much wider range of signage player devices become suitable for the task.

To extend the rage of hardware players even further, the Genus software was redeveloped from the ground up to make it platform agnostic, meaning it can run on Windows, Linux and Android devices too.

Another advantage to using cloud player devices is that they are practically purpose-built for live TV streaming applications. IPTV is a major focus for many such media player devices and as such includes inbuilt support for commonly used streaming protocols, such as H264 & H265.

IPTV streams can be played from existing Internet sources or otherwise published and delivered through our own content delivery network. 2DB can also transform local in-shop video/audio sources into IPTV using our own range of hardware encoder devices.

Coming from the family of Genus products means that support for all the features you’ve come to expect from Genus is part and parcel of the solution. For example, Multiview displays, live TV overlays and support for all standard multimedia formats are a given.

Genus Cloud can be used to manage an entire gantry of screens. However, it also offers an easy opportunity to extend an existing gantry installation by one or more screens to display additional content; whether it be IPTV, All-In-One race-cards or simply used for marketing & promotions.

  • Integrate one or more video streams per display
  • Low cost screen controller hardware
  • Cloud based content delivery (no need to synchronise data)
  • Simple and quick to install
  • Full control of the screen layout, be it a single page, 2x2, 3x2 or 3x3 formats
  • Target specific product ranges or sports categories
  • Drive an entire gantry of screens, or integrate seamlessly with existing Genus installations or as an ‘add-on’ to other display system products.

MULTIVIEW PRO™ is a complete high definition display system which uses four or more large LCD or plasma screens to create a huge, single display area. Information pages and live TV pictures appear together on the same screen at any size and in any configuration you choose

This is the next generation, low cost replacement for traditional display systems. It is beyond rows of individual screens showing single pages at a restricted size.

Dynamic layouts mean you can change the way screens are partitioned in seconds, using simple commands in your central control facility. Any format is possible, including stock formats like 2x2 and 3x2. It even allows asymmetrical compositions.

Multiple live HD (or standard definition) TV channels can be displayed together on each screen, creating more coherent grouping of live action and graphic information pages.

MULTIVIEW PRO™ costs less than traditional systems. Four or more 46"+ screens with fewer display outputs are more economical than dozens of 22" or 26" screens. Less kit makes installation quicker and running costs lower, with more efficient power usage.

  • Use four or more large LCD screens and save on the cost of buying multiple small screens
  • Integrate live video displays via ultra-low latency video capture technology
  • Full control of the screen layout, be it a single page, 2x2, 3x2 or any custom format
  • Save on valuable wall space allowing extra room to be used more effectively
  • Add footers or sidebars to enhance the delivery of messages, special offers or in-running prices
  • Target specific product ranges or sports categories
  • Integrates seamlessly with existing Genus installations or as an ‘add-on’ to other display system products.

As the range and bets offered in shops continues to diversify, the need for more information screens continues to increase. MULTIVIEW™ was specifically designed and developed by 2DB to meet such a demand.

Genus MULTIVIEW™ is designed to provide additional screens in a flexible and attractive format, but at a price that reflects the current economic climate.

MULTIVIEW™ is targeted at any betting shop chain with the means to support a basic head office control studio, but like all 2DB's products, it is designed to be affordable.

Customers want to see the current prices for all of the big races and major sports events and they also want to see full results. Everyone seems to want extra pages on display, but these are tough times and major investments may not be justifiable right now.

Adding a MULTIVIEW™ screen to your current set up is the perfect way to solve the problem.
