MediaMaster System Overview

The MediaMaster system offers a complete solution for scheduling and controlling centralized sources and media titles from your classroom. The MediaScheduler component lets you schedule sources and media titles from your computer. MediaController lets you control various sorts of video sources, and your classroom monitor.

MediaController offers:

• Visual representations of the sources.
• The "rack" for displaying the available sources.
• Graphical logos of most popular television networks, which speeds recognition.
• A unified way of controlling sources like VCRs and DVD players so they all work the same way, even if they are different brands or models.
• Control of the classroom monitor via a keypad like that on a remote control.

MediaScheduler offers:

• The ability to sort the media title database by any of the descriptive fields.
• Dynamic database filters to reduce the number of titles shown by filtering by any of the titles' textual fields. You can ask the title browser to show only DVD titles having "frog" in their description, for example.
• A list of events scheduled in the near future so you can quickly see what is scheduled and when.
• The ability to see full details about a title or scheduled event by clicking on it.

The classroom computer and monitor are connected to the media center over the school's network. This allows you to control the centralized sources and see the result on your classroom monitor as though the source was right there in the classroom.
