OmniDisplay

OmniDisplay was the name given to a fledging software application in 2010. The software was conceptuality developed from the success of OmniTicker, which itself was developed specifically for the Banking industry to display a scrolling stream of ticker symbols and prices. Funding for the development of OmniDisplay was provided by Initiostar and the business transitioned into a pure-play software company focused on real-time digital displays. In 2016, initiostar formed a partnership with GDK Software to manage software development and in August 2022, initiostar transitioned into retirement with day-to-day operations transferring to GDK Software. Gary Lowrey remains the Product Director for OmniDisplay, assisting clients and AV Partners.

Heading into the Future……...

OmniDisplay is today a state-of-art digital signage solution, easy to install with a capability to stream data and information to an 8K resolution; using single stream and without the need to scale content. Probably unique in its field, it is recognised for its quality, vision and easy-of-use as a digital signage solution.

Multiple Awards

Awards and Achievements have been many over 21 years, but one stands out as being unique in its time - initiostar created the Cyber3D start-up partnership with Adobe for its digital 3D technology platform, Adobe Atmosphere. A small team from around the world came together virtually, to delivery some of the first interactive 3D digital environments and games. Cyber3D won London’s 2003 Business Startup of the Year; two years later it achieved a profitable exit. In 2025 OmniDisplay was recognised by SME News in the IT Awards 2025 for its Client Service Excellence with OmniDisplay, its Digital Signage product.
