  • Patent number: 9786325
    Abstract: A system for visualizing data includes storage means, and a video source arranged for dividing first data to be visualized in one or more banner areas in a plurality of chunks and arranged for outputting the plurality of chunks of the first data to be displayed and for outputting second data to be visualized as a background. A display for visualizing the first and second data is adapted for having information scrolling in the banner areas of the display. A scroll engine is arranged for receiving the first and second data from the video source, and for grabbing chunks of the first data of the plurality of chunks and for storing the grabbed chunks in the storage means. The scroll engine comprises multiplexing means for multiplexing the second data with stored chunks of the first data, and is arranged for forwarding the multiplexed first and second data to the display.
