 Scala InfoChannel Network Manager 3... Multimedia Management Software

InfoChannel Network Manager 3 is a server-based application that schedules the transmissions of multimedia content to hundreds, even thousands of display monitors (plasmas, TVs, kiosks) from a single desktop. Advertising, news, training or virtually any other visual communication can be easily distributed to InfoChannel Players via any standard network. Content created using InfoChannel Designer 3 or Reporter 3 is automatically routed to the intended players.

InfoChannel Network Manager 3 manages the distribution of content on an InfoChannel network as well as the monitoring of the network itself. Among the capabilities this new product provides is support for multiple authoring stations - i.e even more than one person working on the same script at the same time - allowing more content to be produced and broadcast sooner. The new software employs a “pull” as a “push” approach to distributing content to players. This enables multiple players to receive content at the same time, rather than serially. It also gives users the flexibility to schedule updates at particular times of the day if they choose.

In addition, with design and broadcasting components now separated, design stations can resume the design process immediately after publishing to the InfoChannel Network. A new network-monitoring feature automatically alerts the network administrator when problems arise. No longer tied to a specific console, the administrator can access and control the network from anywhere using a Web browser.
