TV Stations for Schools

The concept of using TV screens to communicate in-house is not new and a variety of organisations have been using the medium of TV in preference to notice boards and newsletters for some time.

What is new, however, is that there is now a communication tool to drive this medium that is making the use of TV’s a practical proposition for those organisations that need real-time control over the creation of content and its display.

Giving Schools Control

With the MultiScreen in-house TV Station, users are no longer dependent on other parties for the creation of content and instead have complete editorial control over what appears on the screens and how it is presented.

Recent months have witnessed a significant uptake in the use of in-house TV Stations amongst a variety of organisations including libraries, retirement villages, prisons and Sure Start Children’s Centres, and schools are now looking to invest in their own in-house TV stations for a variety of reasons.

Your Content On Screen

Your on-screen content can include a mixture of colourful messages combined with video clips, current news, RSS Feeds and live camera input. Audio content may be added when required, and a clock displayed in either analogue or digital style.

Communicating in real-time on the system is what satisfies the information needs of today’s modern school, and many schools use the screens to display information on class changes, award announcements, sport carnivals, and excursions, as well as displaying ‘who to ask’ sections, meeting notices, results, curriculum information and details of the school’s ever-changing canvas of daily events and activities.

In schools where content is shared between departments, the easy preparation of separate sequences leads to varied displays with a corresponding rise in viewer interest.

Keeping Students and Staff Informed

MultiScreen’s scheduling capability ensures that content is never out of date and allows the school to display information targeted to the right viewer.

For example, screens can display items relevant to staff early in the morning, to parents just before school and to students during the day.

By simply placing a TV screen in your front foyer, or other frequently used area, you can keep students, staff and parents informed of any issue you deem important, and the Multiscreen production and display unit will quickly become schools’ first point of call for relaying important messages.

The MultiScreen technology employed is proven and reliable, enabling users to achieve their objectives every time, and ease of use is ensured through a comprehensive support programme.
