Y'know, I'd just read about that recently, but the details escape me
right now; iirc, they weren't actual "live" digital systems, but
something somehow involving printed fresh data broadcast over a CCTV
link, and that the screens in the consoles were actually, basically, tv
sets on which the controllers could "change channels" to bring up
different data.

This sort of system was very common in the days before display hardware
was cheap and easy to build. And, in fact, you will find it in a lot of
airport control towers today for looking at various non-critical data
displays and video cameras.
