SAFARI Montage
The SAFARI Montage® system has forever changed visual instruction in many of the country's school districts. Now, that experience can extend beyond the school into the homes of teachers and students. Managed Home Access provides school districts with capabilities that surpass those offered by streaming services.
HOW IT’S USED
- Teachers can do their lesson planning by using SAFARI Montage resources from home after school.
- Connects parents to the school by accessing streamed school plays, football games, recitals, special presentations, Superintendent and Principal addresses, school board meetings and more.
- Student homework is supported with rich media previously only available to them in school.
- Ideal for homebound students to see content being shown in class.
- Teachers can upload files from home to a central server through enhancements to SAFARI Montage CreationStation®.
Teachers, students and parents can access SAFARI Montage® from home. (Available to school districts that have implemented SAFARI Montage® district-wide)
HOW IT WORKS
A SAFARI Montage Managed Home Access server is installed in the school district and hosts lower bit-rate (300kbps H.264) video files for streaming to the home.
Teachers can view content and create playlists from home, then save them and access them in the morning at school.
Schools can also upload user-created video content so that students, teachers and parents can view it from home. And now video content can be automatically converted with the new SAFARI Montage Multi-Format Auto-Converter.
Control outbound Internet bandwidth consumption by predetermining when and how content can be streamed by the number of concurrent streams/users and total bandwidth.
The Managed Home Access server is fully integrated with the district's LDAP usernames and passwords.
DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT (DRM)
The extensive DRM features that are inherent to SAFARI Montage are also applied to Managed Home Access. The DRM helps a district comply with copyright and license terms by protecting content from deliberate and inadvertent misuse. Content is managed by expiration date, accessibility by user type, number of licenses, downloadability and now, home access.
AUTOMATICALLY CONVERT YOUR VIDEO FILES!
Save time, money and valuable resources with the new SAFARI Montage Multi-Format Auto-Converter. After uploading your video files into SAFARI Montage CreationStation, this module will automatically convert your videos to a second size for home access or mobile devices.
MAXIMIZE YOUR INVESTMENT
- Students can access resources for homework assignments so that classroom time is used more efficiently and effectively.
- Teachers can maximize their time by having the tools to prepare their multimedia lesson plans after school hours.
- The instructional day is extended beyond school walls while still allowing access to all school resources.
