Display panos on flat screens within a clients building

I have a client that wants to display panos on flat screens in their building. Can anyone advise the best way to go about this and what software to use. I need the panos to auto-rotate once and then load the next scene , hopefully with a transitional effect.

Are we talking running multiple flat screens - driven from one PC - all showing the same series of panos?

With CubeWorld Runnig on a Mac(mini) you can set a slideshow with autopanning or even random panning etc. You can even make it interactive for visitors and when the are none it returns to slideshowmode after x-seconds. www.clickheredesign.com.au/cubicnavigator/

If its just going to be a permenant display you can 'record' a tour and put it on dvd, we have done this with a few clients and it turned out very well. We use export as movie feature in TW pro. This is a good option for use with existing clients systems and doesnt require and extra set up.. there is no interactivity however.

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'll follow rudders tip and explore the DVD route.

Hi rudders! What are the settings using TW? Could you share them with us? Thanks, Martin

Does the client already have the flatscreen hardware?
You would typically require rather different flatscreen hardware to display DVD video and computer generated displays - TVs rather than computer monitors. They may be cheaper too and then you'll want/need video distribution amps rather than computer graphics signal splitter/amps.
This is probably the sort of project where it would be besst to prototype something, before making a large investment, using both approaches and let the client choose?
