Whether you want to broadcast graduation over the internet from a wireless backpack, create professional multi-camera HD morning announcements, or just broadcast a class to students at different locations, MediaCAST has a live broadcasting IP solution for you.
Like all MediaCAST products, the broadcasting hardware is scalable. Adding classrooms? Add OnLocation Carts. Have a concurrent award ceremony and football game? Broadcast and record both with two SportsCAST sets.
They can also be used to help organizations save money. Bring SportsCAST along on field trips and let future students experience that destination virtually. You can use broadcasts as fundraisers for athletic teams or clubs by making content available pay-per-view. For K12 institutions, save time and money busing advanced middle schoolers to high school for classes. Instead broadcast the high school class to the middle school. For Higher Ed, broadcast classes to other campuses, expanding the availability of specialized classes.
