InfoChannel Broadcast Server 3

InfoChannel Broadcast Server 3 allows users to broadcast powerful multimedia content to hundreds or thousands of sites. The broadcast system makes content distribution easy to manage for large installations and allows multiple players to be addressed with a single transmission. It is designed to support several network architectures including satellite and multicast-IP. It also enables producers segment the network so individualized programming can be targeted to individual players or groups of players within the network. A confirmation feature assures that data has been received and is being correctly displayed.

Templates can be customized to meet the needs of any corporate communications, advertising, school or cable TV network.
