Information System Software

Post by DarkRanger »

No idea where to post this or if I have made a post like this before, so please help out if I did.

Our company wants to launch an informative information system. Basically it's a few screens in our branches that plays back clips that are either entertainment (funny clip, music video, etc), informative (employee focus, something about a project etc) or sport (either live action sport or previously saved clips).

The clips run their duration, and then move onto the next category (so let's say it runs a music video for the duration (example: 3 mins) it then moves to the live sport action (streamed via DSTV online, 1minute) and then moves to a information clip (project info, 1 minute) )

I want to know what is the best way to do this, how do I approach it, is their software that can do this? Any information will be appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Excepting for the streamed DSTV you could probably just have used MS media player set to random?

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Ah we have this setup in our office. main entrance tv plays a video on loop.

each department has tv screen connected to pc that displays current departmental stats.

Although each of these stats displays are custom made. so can't help u with the software side.
