As InfoChannel becomes more pervasive in a number of industries, more and more partners are beginning to develop their own products to complement Scala software for many individual markets.
Anyone looking to generate revenue in advertising needs an InfoChannel / BIZET solution. Combining Scala's easy authoring environment with LCL's advanced scheduling and invoicing package allows your company to focus on ad sales and not expensive, time-consuming video production. Applications include real estate, auto dealership, or hotel TV stations. It is also great for Cable TV and narrowcasting ad networks of any scale.
The CastNET family of products have specific web-enabled applications that are great complements to InfoChannel whether you are in the education, government, cable, or advertising market. CastNet allows users to work collaboratively in dozens of locations through Alpha's online template interface that includes options to administer content in an authorization process which is great for large corporations or classrooms.
DialAlert allows users to change what's playing on their television station, remote screen, or LED billboard without even using a computer. Simply call in to a system using any touchtone phone and playback any one of a hundred preconfigured scripts. Perfect for inclement weather conditions, natural disasters, emergencies, or if an InfoChannel producer just happens to be out of the office.
