Network-enabling Arcade Game Display Projectors
Target Customer: F2 Systems, Korea
F2 Systems is a leading manufacturer of gaming machines and cabinets in the amusement & gaming industry.
Target Device: Display Projectors at Arcade game terminals
The Target application scenario is composed with a Display projector, multiple game terminals, and a gateway server with database. Here, target serial device, Display projector creates graphical interface on surfaces, and send the game data to gateway database server. Upon the completion of one game, gateway database server send back the computational and networked data that will be displayed on display projector.
Display Projector
Motive
In the past, display projector had been connected to gateway database server using RS232 serial lines. There was a flexibility limitation in this RS232 based system, since it is required to build the cable lines when adding additional servers or moving exiting ones. Therefore, customer has decided to implement a cost-effective solution for networking Display Projectors.
In the new system, at the end of the network is a HelloDevice LS100, which is connected to Ethernet on one side and connected via a serial communication port to the Display Projector on the other. The HelloDevice LS100 receives game data from display projector, converts to TCP/IP format and sends to a gateway database server. Upon the completion of one game, the LS100 receives the computational data in TCP/IP format, converts to serial data, and sends to the display projector.
