Introducing Mediacaster
Mediacaster delivers high quality digital media to a scalable, distributed network of on-location digital displays. Mediacaster provides you with all the tools you need to manage, schedule and play advertising, educational videos, product demonstrations and promotions directly to retail outlets, branch offices, dealerships, franchises or other remote locations.
Our design tools allow you to assemble high quality images, video, text, ticker text, time displays, RSS feeds, live websites, live video and dynamic database data into dynamic and eye catching displays.
Mediacaster consists of four core software components:
1. A Mediacaster Manager that allows you to: - create and manage multiple clients, import media, create playlists, configure players and assign players to channels. In addition to this, through the manager you can control, monitor and report on network and player status.
2. A Mediacaster Scheduler through which you can assign playlists, overlays and live video to specific channels with calendar based scheduling.
3. A Mediacaster Overlay Designer that provides tools for the creation of template designs for screen layout of media content. A large amount of content can be included in the templates including images, video, predefined media playlists, text, ticker text, time displays, RSS feeds, live websites, live video and dynamic database data.
4. A Mediacaster Player which enables playback of your media, playlists, live video and overlays on dedicated distributed on-location players. The players use a 'store-and-forward' mechanism for media and playlist download, saving on bandwidth overheads. Players also generate detailed playback reports.
Mediacaster also offers the following useful additional features:
1. Allows touch access and Video on Demand (VOD) through Windows MCE compatible remote control
2. Instant Messaging to broadcast emergency messages
3. Output hardware Display Control Commands and operating hours
