Hardware used in a situational centre usually includes information display systems, audio- and video conferencing facilities, computer SYSTEMS for data storage and processing, and control systems. Demonstration Systems The basic demonstration system in the Situational centre is a video wall, i.e. system of multi-screen display of various data (video images, electronic maps, graphs and diagrams, text documentation in electronic format). Video wall is an integrated information screen composed of individual modules operated by a special controller. The modular principle makes it possible to create video walls as large as desired. There can be video walls with an area of dozens and even hundreds of square meters. Due to modular design, the video wall can easily be configured for any room and task. The critical parameter is resolution and, correspondingly, information capacity which permits to present many "windows" containing wysiwyg images from many sources on one screen field.

Interactive hardware-and-software packages used for visual representation of spatial information play an important role in Situational Centers intended for solving tasks related to regional and sectoral management. Such package is operated from a horizontally placed desk-type touch screen, thus the displayed spatial data can be easily viewed and analyzed by a group of people. Sovzond delivers TTS hardware-and-software packages for visual representation of spatial information manufactured by TTSystem company. Visit TTSystem website www.ttsglobal.ru for detailed information on TTS hardware-and-software packages.
Audio- and Video Conferencing Facilities Apart from telecommunication and e-mail, any modern Use of conferencing systems, access to public information channels and broadcasting systems within the Situational Centre means availability of high-quality sound amplification and sound reproduction systems.

Modeling and analysis of possible development of situations, forecasting in the Situational Centre requires substantial computational capabilities and adequate software. The computer park of the Situational centre includes a graphics controller, workstations for data preparation, data storage servers, etc.
Computational capabilities and server equipment used for data processing and storage system
The Situational Centre control system ensures interaction between all its elements. Due to its high complexity, the control system usually requires constant attendance of qualified personnel. The use of integrated control systems makes it possible to control all equipment of the Situational Centre. All the necessary scenarios of equipment operation are preprogrammed by experts, thus the users of the Situational Centre can see an intuitive control interface, and they only need to activate the required scenario of equipment operation using a simple command.
