  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.
