Overview
The Scala InfoChannel suite drives 24/7 dynamic media playback in any number of key markets. Top partners like Hughes, NEC, IBM, Panasonic, Gateway, and Fujitsu-Siemens along with our worldwide network of resellers and integrators help ensure your visual communications network will run smoothly. Deliver a strong impact with Scala's content creation, scheduling, distribution, and 24/7 playback software combined with high quality display devices, high-speed bandwidth providers, and multimedia designers.
Devices
Because Scala Infochannel is the "software brains" managing visual communication networks, the rest of the rather large sales are handled by such partners as Value Added Resellers (VARs), OEMs, Display Manufacturers, Satellite Bandwidth Providers, Multimedia Content Developers, and Complementary Software.
Developers
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.
Hardware
Although Scala software is designed to run on a wide variety of hardware, chances are that computers you buy off the shelf are not going to be stable for 24/7 operation. To simplify things, we have partnered with a few key companies to provide pre-configured systems.
Content
Content Providers Can Deliver Media for Broadcast or Narrowcast in InfoChannel.
Displays
There is no shortage of choices when it comes to selecting a screen, but Scala InfoChannel is one of the few networked media distribution and scheduled playback solutions available that will suit your needs no matter what display you pick. Whether you are broadcasting via cable headend and RF distribution or narrowcasting to remote sites each showing the same or unique content, Scala's legendary smooth playback has been the choice of thousands of customers each using different displays and varied resolutions or aspect ratios.
Bandwidth
The beauty of Scala's scalable networks is that it can facilitate nearly any networking protocol supported by Windows. The following are a few places to start looking for bandwidth if you need to control more than 50 remote sites.
Software
InfoChannel Designer 3 comes with a number of bundled creative products including WinDVD for software MPEG 2 playback, SmartSound for music creation, and demos of Digital Juice clipart. We encourage you to take your content further with more products from these fine vendors.
