InfoZone Media Management Server

• (order part #MXS-TMDB-T)

The InfoZone™ media management server from Keywest Technology equips you with two specialized programs that control, schedule, monitor and distribute content to remote media players on a digital signage network. InfoZone offers reliable, enterprise-class digital signage management when your bottom line is at stake and excuses are not acceptable.

Ideally suited for use in retail, industry, government and educational settings, InfoZone consists of two server management programs called Dashboard and Traffic Manager. They combine to give you easy access to your entire digital signage network through the convenience of a web browser.

Dashboard was designed as a command and control center interface. It affords the digital signage system operator a visual display of all players on the network and the condition of each—current schedule, network data, and most importantly--Status (including programmable alerts). Dashboard also notifies the system operator by email, SMS, POTS or audible alarms should any problem arise as well as problems that are fixed. Furthermore, it performs network-healing function by monitoring select parameters and issuing appropriate corrective action commands from elevating volume controls to complete player reboot to power strip control.

Working in conjunction with Dashboard, Traffic Manager gives digital signage network operators the means to control a few or many media player devices located in one area or spread out around the globe, all from one central location. Traffic Manager provides the means to automatically update and download content to players (instantly or on a schedule), receive feedback from the remote players, and provides system redundancy so data flow can automatically reroute should network issues arise.

Additionally, Traffic Manager uses a push/pull network architecture to reliably manage MediaZone media players. This approach minimizes overall bandwidth requirement, because once content is distributed via the Internet, it resides locally. InfoZone Dashboard (not Traffic Manager) is also compatible with MediaPOD and Interactive-3.
