Dynamo Ticker: the software behind the band
Content software for LED tickers, written by the people who build the displays. Live markets, news and your own messages on one scrolling band. Set it up once at the PC, then run it from a phone wherever you are.
What it is
Dynamo Ticker runs on a Windows PC and feeds the LED controller behind the band. Everything on the band is a card: a market quote, a headline, a message of your own. Switch cards on and off, change their order, and the band carries on scrolling without a break.
- Live markets. Shares, indices, currencies, crypto and commodities, with direction arrows, change figures and a small chart beside each price if you want it.
- News and headlines. Any news or RSS feed, with the story’s picture when the feed supplies one.
- Your own messages. Type an offer, a welcome, a flash sale or a joke and switch it on. No character limit; short lines read best from across a room.
- Backgrounds. Plain colour, live weather scenes, a picture or video of your own, or an image generated from a few words.
- Scenes and a timetable. Save a look, Happy Hour, Morning Markets, Match Day, and run it by the day and the hour.
- Control from anywhere. The PC, a browser on the same network, or your phone over the internet.
What it runs on
A Windows PC with any wide output. The output is positioned and sized to the band, including bands that fold across several rows or run in a loop. The PC can sit in a cupboard or the comms room; day to day, the people who change a message use a phone.

Who uses it
Trading floors and finance hubs that want live prices without a market-data platform of their own. Bars and restaurants that change the special at six. Receptions that run the markets in the morning and the company’s numbers in the afternoon. Club shops, schools, showrooms: anywhere a band of light has something to say.
Dynamo Ticker runs on the tickers Dynamo builds and on any wide LED output driven from a Windows PC.

Built around a display that stays on
A ticker in a restaurant, a lobby or a trading floor is seen all day. The software treats anything that could cover it or switch it off as a fault to be prevented. Windows is set so nothing appears over the output, the PC never sleeps, updates install at a quiet hour you choose and roll back if they fail, and a watchdog restarts the output if it ever freezes. If the internet drops, the band keeps playing for up to seven days.
