High Hand software recommendations

We're looking to improve the way we present the High Hand and count down timers to the customers.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend any High Hand software that they currently use in their poker room to display the current High Hands.
Currently we're using Bravo Tournament Clock and Excel to accomplish this, just looking for something a little more polished.

I believe that what the Tampa Hard Rock displays theirs with is Microsoft Powerpoint. They just make a slide show that rotates through some slides with one dislaying the BBJ for holdem, another for Omaha, and another for stud. Then they have a slide for the current high hand of the half hour, and update the slide realtime as it changes by just retyping the text box.
They also have a couple of slides that are copies of their marketing banners from their website for the high hand that are professional level graphics. The jackpot slides are just simple text, but large size numbers so you can see them easily around the room.
They set the slideshow speed at about 10 seconds per slide and they just rotate through all day long on a couple of the TVs. They dont display any countdown clock for the time. Everyone knows it starts/ends on the half hour and they use the clock on the computer as the official time.

Get in touch with Mike from Maryland Live. They have a really good HH display that was created by one of their dealers. They may be able to help you out.

The only problem I have with bravo is they should replace the cock font with the high hand font so it can be seen from far away and avoid delays in calling the floor to verify if a hh is good or not.

I've been searching the net looking for something like that. A floor rep in South Florida has developed a simple and reliable software. It displays wide screen, supports 15, 30 and 60 minute high hands. Supports endless slides with configurable display time in seconds. Best of all it has a built in clock and countdown timer. It has a simple dashboard to control it. The board refreshes instantly.
