referred to as the primary and the second is
called the mirror. If the second display is
mounted more than 10 feet (3.05 m) from the
primary display, two primary displays are used.
A module is the building block of the
GalaxyPro ® Revolution display. Figure 1 shows
a 20mm module measuring 16 pixels high by 16
pixels wide (other modules will vary).
Individual modules can be easily removed from
the display if needed.
A typical display system consists of a

1500 is a software package that runs under Windows ® XP or Vista Home/Professional
operating systems on an IBM ® -compatible computer. Refer to the Venus ® 1500 Help file for
