Federated system for centralized management and distribution of content media

The invention comprises a federated system having a centralized data collection node that receives real-time data feeds from multiple airport systems, a data decoupling module for scrubbing received data, coding scrubbed data, and validating coded output data, and a central control node for monitoring and controlling the system. The invention also includes graphical user interfaces and methods for displaying such information at a central node, or NOC. The invention can also detect output devices and create specific special purpose feeds for each data destination or remote display, as well as systems that allow an airline to remotely access and update the status and settings of a remote travel operations display system via the Internet.
