Hi Dmitry,
The software I am developing is for an internal use (remote control of a PTZ camera, video recording, and radar data acquisition subsystem). It runs on a very minimal Linux (and an industrial PC because of its operational temperature and available interfaces - http://www.comp-mall.de/DRPC-100.html). At this moment no fancy graphics and the simplest working solution is the way to go.

Thanks for your suggestions. 

Cheers, 
  Darek
