Trans-Lux LED Jet Electronic Ticker & Data Options
Trans-Lux pioneered dynamic stock ticker technology with the first ticker tape projection system installed at the New York Stock Exchange in 1923. Today, Trans-Lux LED Jet® is the hallmark of financial markets with a reach that extends well beyond traditional trading rooms to brokerages, retailers and corporations around the world.
LED Jet dynamic stock ticker technology is a traveling two-line display that shows real-time last-sale stock prices via direct data feeds from a variety of leading industry sources. Flexible hardware and software interfaces enable the use of graphics, logos and custom messages. Displays are available in monochrome, tricolor and full color, and can conform to concave and convex curves.
LED Jet Dynamic Stock Ticker applications
Evolving from its humble beginnings as a stock traders’ tool into a symbol of global commerce, the ticker conveys the information that your customers want—quickly, dynamically and succinctly. They’re not just for traders anymore!
Trans-Lux, the makers of the "original" electronic ticker used by the New York Stock Exchange in the 1920s, brings the electronic ticker to the next level by introducing the Outdoor Ticker. These specially equipped ultra-smooth traveling displays present news, sports and financial data with bitmap graphics in a way that can’t be overlooked. Mix real-time or delayed data feeds with your promotional messages to create a display that will capture attention and satisfy your audiences’ desire for current information.
LED Jet Display types
Graphical LED Jet
A traveling display driven by a PC with external software that shows graphic images, real-time last-sale prices in full fractions to 64ths, logos, foreign character sets, true type and bitmap fonts.
Non-graphical
ASCII Jet
A traveling two-line display, driven by a PC, that uses third party software to interface to a data vendor. Used for ticker applications outside the U.S. where Baudot code is not generated. A benefit of the ASCII Jet is that numerical data can appear on the top and bottom line which enables ASCII messaging as well as stock quotes for U.S. and international applications.
Baudot Jet
A traveling two-line display that accepts, interprets and displays U.S. ticker code directly from source (Exchange/IXNet) or through software. Text data appears on the top line, numbers appear on the bottom line.
