Scrolling Text Ticker for TV Display

As the title suggest I'm looking for a Scrolling Text Ticker for a TV to display information in a large conference room.

Anybody have any ideas or use anything like this?

I'm thinking PowerPoint but I dunno if it will do what I want.

Also don't want to have burn in.

 

I once wrote a basic program to do that on the Commodore 64 for a business that wanted to advertize daily specials using a TV monitor set up in their storefront window.

It's pretty easy to do it in HTML also. Just google it. Then use a browser to display your words.

 

Thanks for the tip.

A little more info, I would like to set this up so that a secretary can input daily data that would scroll.

For example say if a daily performance goal was reached it would be input daily for a two week period so everyone would see how good/bad things are going.

Also some criteria would be constant only increment an example might be a certain number of days since some significant goal was reached or even a countdown to an event etc.

 

Did you get a chance to Google it? I did a search on 'scrolling text program' and got 12 million hits.

Some scroll vertically, others horizontally. Some free, some not.

Most any programmer can do that for you also. Don't you know any?

 

Then don't try it on a Plasma set. Judging by the number of posts about IR and Burn in I've read an all day scroll would be certain death on a Plasma. LCD (or better still, LED backlit LCD) would be a good display choice.
