The Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) are widely used across the Earth, Ocean, and Planetary sciences and beyond. A diverse community uses GMT to process data, generate publication-quality illustrations, automate workflows, and make animations. Scientific journals, posters at meetings, Wikipedia pages, and many more publications display illustrations made by GMT. And the best part: it is free, open source software licensed under the LGPL.

The "Unified" aspect is crucial. In the past, different series of Samsung displays required different versions of MDC software. The Unified version consolidates these capabilities, supporting a wide range of Samsung Smart Signage products (such as the SMART LED Signage, Digital Flip Charts, and Hospitality TVs) under one application. It utilizes both RS-232C (serial) and RJ45 (LAN) connections to communicate with the devices, offering flexibility depending on your network infrastructure.

Samsung MDC (Multiple Display Control) is a comprehensive software solution designed to control multiple Samsung display products simultaneously via a PC. While Samsung displays can be controlled individually via remote controls or on-screen menus, MDC Unified allows administrators to manage settings, schedule power on/off times, and monitor device health for hundreds of displays from a single interface.

**Option A: LAN
Note: Windows 7 is unsupported in modern MDC Unified versions due to TLS security updates. It utilizes both RS-232C (serial) and RJ45 (LAN)
For RS-232 daisy-chaining (multiple displays), set unique Set IDs (1 to 255) via the display’s on-screen menu before connecting to MDC.
Here’s a short story based on a real-world frustration many techs have faced.
GMT has been used from UNIX and Windows command lines for decades. More recently, GMT has been rebuilt as an Application Programming Interface (API) and can now be accessed via wrapper libraries from MATLAB/Octave, Julia, and Python, as well from custom programs written in C or C++.
