Abstract Until recently, most of CERN’s beam visualisation systems have been based on increasingly obsolescent analogue cameras. Hence, there is an on-going campaign to replace old or install new digital equivalents. There are many challenges associated with providing a homogenised solution for the data acquisition of the various visualization systems in an accelerator complex as diverse as CERN’s. However, a generic real-time software in C++ has been developed and already installed in several locations to control such systems. This paper describes the software and the additional tools that have also been developed to exploit the acquisition systems, including a Graphical User Interface (GUI) in Java/Swing and web fixed displays. Furthermore, it analyses the specific challenges of each use-case and the chosen solutions that resolve issues including any subsequent performance limitations.
