MediaCAST® is infrastructure for 21st century learning. It is a media management and streaming solution used by charter schools, small and large districts, virtual schools and colleges. Our clients benefit from video-on-demand and digital TV in every classroom, digital announcements, two-way videoconferencing, live meetings, and media rich distance learning. Teachers can deliver learning material based on the individual needs of students who can practice at their own pace. You can call that 24/7 access to learning.

Our newest enhancements include an iPad app that manages copyright protected material on these wireless tablets and centralized eBook management (loaded with thousands of eBooks). MediaCAST can be installed on your LAN, delivering DVD-quality video at network speeds. It can be hosted from MediaCAST Cloud data centers, resolving bandwidth issues for distance learning initiatives. MediaCAST components are E-Rate eligible (call for details).

MediaCAST consists of a web-based, digital library platform AND a selection of seamlessly integrated modules (SIMs) for deploying popular IP video applications for education. The platform establishes your private and secure digital library and provides for managing metadata and copyright and tools for making video segments, external links and captions. With the platform in place you can then customize your MediaCAST system by adding SIMs that meet your needs:

IP TV: Encoders in the data center deliver digital TV to every laptop/desktop in classrooms, common areas and dorms
Digital Signage: Push live announcements and emergency notification to any location. Unlimited channels for customized displays.
Live Mobile Broadcasting: Broadcast from classrooms and event venues to students and the community
Web Videoconferencing: Live meetings with two-way video for ten people without leaving your office
LMS Integration: MediaCAST adds video and multimedia capabilities to any CMS/LMS.

MediaCAST is content neutral and publisher neutral. It works with all the video, audio, PC files and the content teachers are already using. There are no technical barriers to teacher success here. MediaCAST works with existing media collections, teacher-generated content and digital media acquired from any publisher. It provides lockdown copyright tools to protect all your digital content even if it is distributed to student iPads.
