InfoChannel Network Manager 3: Administration and Distribution
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 Windows-based network. Content created using InfoChannel Designer 3 or InfoChannel Reporter 3 can either be automatically or be scheduled to be routed to the intended players.
