Tully Schools installs new digital signage system
Tully, NY – Packet TV, a systems integrator for digital signage networks, announced that it has deployed a new digital signage system for Tully Central Schools. The system, installed at the high school facility, allows both students and administrators access to an innovative communication tool that highlights school and local events.
“Packet TV is an excellent addition to any Technology Integration program. Here at Tully Schools, Packet TV’s digital signage system serves as both an administrator and a student tool. Administration uses the technology to keep students up to date on current local and global events. Student produced news clips, highlights of sporting/drama events, and digital art projects are all displayed using this technology. Feedback from the students has been very positive so far. The students have proven to be very eager to create more content for display” stated Lee Duvall, Technology Coordinator for Tully Schools.
Packet TV’s individualized approach for Tully Schools utilizes web based software that simplifies the hardware footprint and provides access to real time content. Users can login from an Internet-accessible browser to update and schedule content from anywhere and at any time of day. Although Packet TV typically provides all of the associated hardware and software for new customers, the company was able to integrate the school’s existing in-house cable distribution as well as two previously installed 42” plasma screens in this customized solution. Both screens are located in the schools dual purpose common area / cafeteria.
Included with the system is access to local and national news data, current weather forecasts, and Packet TV’s proactive customer support and monitoring. Therefore, staff and students can quickly create eye catching content using built-in templates, Power Point, flash, video, or web sites. For more complex graphic solutions, customers can work with Packet TV’s in-house graphics department which specializes in digital signage content.
