It provides easy and instant access to any TV channel† anywhere in the school by sending the signal across the existing computer network.

Old video tapes and recorded DVDs will become a thing of the past—teachers can also record and store any programme for future viewing with one-click on the interactive TV Guide.

Digital TV Server also comes complete with easy-to-use video editing tools and free library software, allowing schools to organise, store and distribute any recorded TV programmes.

† Requires a Freeview antenna, satellite dish or other source. Organisations must ensure they possess relevant TV Licences.

Benefits

Digital TV Server is connected directly to the Freeview aerial or satellite dish. There's no need for a decoder box, ensuring the highest quality digital picture.

The school has full control, with an administrator able to decide which channels will be made available via a simple web screen. This is particularly important when using a satellite to bring in foreign channels.

The signal is sent across the school's existing IP network, so there's no need to install expensive new cabling. Teachers log in via their laptop or classroom PC, then click the programme to watch or record.

The programme can be watched by the class through a projector, television or PC. News and entertainment programming can also be made available in common areas during break times.
