The system uses the following data:
• Movie names
• Movie times
• Cinema capacities
• Remaining tickets

One of the features of the system is the seating capacity status which changes the display color, depending on the amount available seats for a particular session.

For example:
• Sessions are displayed in green when seats are 60% full,
• Sessions are displayed in amber when seating is between 61% and 90%
• Sessions are displayed in red when seating is 91% to 100% full

While the amount of cinemas with this technology is growing constantly, some of the cinemas that have the session display as of March 2007 include:
• Fountain Gate
• Knox
• Albury
• Southland
• Geelong
• Jam Factory
• Century City
• Crown Casino
• and many more…
