DIGITAL SIGNAGE

Breathe new life into your signage with Planet eSign

Display your content across single screens or zoned groups of screens via nettop boxes or Planet eSign Digital Signage Players with our free client software.

We wanted a cost effective, versatile and multi-user driven Digital Signage System for our brand new David Hockney Campus Building and the Planet eStream Signage

Engage your audience with Planet eStream’s fully featured Digital Signage System, Planet eSign. Design your screen layouts using the Planet eSign screen designer. Add content from a wide range of sources including your media archive, live video streams, live TV, RSS feeds, Twitter and many more. Schedule your content to be displayed on any screen at your chosen times and dates. Manage and delegate control of individual elements of a screen or an entire screen to your users,

System perfectly fits the bill. Planet eSign supports the greatest number of content types for all of our users, including teachers and admin staff. It allows for assigned access to message content panels, screens and zonal areas particular to their teaching or library areas around the building. On November the 14th 2014 we hosted the BBC Regional Live Broadcast for Children In Need and the Planet eSign system was predominantly used to provide the graphics loops for the studio design background, including a video wall, and live BBC1 feeds to all other screens around campus. The BBC producer and production crew were really impressed. ZAID BASHIR - Technical Development Team Leader Bradford College

TV AND RADIO RECORDING AND IPTV Record and stream live TV and radio

A few weeks ago, a tutor asked if we had recorded a programme that aired four days before. I was able to go into eStream and add it straight away whilst she was there and she was able to watch it in her classroom a couple of hours later - this is just brilliant! SIMON MAPP - Learning Centre Assistant Coleg Cambria
