Campus video systems spread information and education throughout a school or an entire school district. With campus video, full-motion live video, video on demand, motion graphics, and digital signs make it easier and more cost-effective to enrich learning and communications.
What is Campus Video?
Campus video refers to a variety of video and graphical content delivered over the school’s existing Internet Protocol (IP) network. A campus video system is a suite of solutions that can include the following:
- Digital signage provides information displayed on LCD
monitors around campus. Digital signage can be immediately updated, reduces
visual clutter (by eliminating the need for posters and banners), and
commands attention. Administrators can provide emergency notifications
and instructions, school news, cafeteria menus, event and school sports
announcements, classroom assignments, and live streaming of graduation
ceremonies.
- Desktop video makes distance learning possible by providing full-motion live and prerecorded educational video that students can watch at home or on individual learning stations at school. Students can search for videos using categories or keywords. Hearing-impaired students can see closed captioning text embedded in videos. Teachers and professors can use a desktop video portal to receive training, such as emergency response, on their own schedule.
- Enterprise TV delivers campus video
content to displays in classrooms, dorm lounges, and other public areas.
Staff and students use a remote control to access on-demand video content
from on-screen menus and program guides or live TV. Students can also
produce their own content using familiar digital media tools and deliver
it over the campus network.
