Content management
Fractalia Media has powerful content editing, managing and distributing functionalities that can be accessed by means of a simple, user-friendly visual interface.
- Drag-and-drop GUI interface based on arrays of media, templates, channels and plans.
- Instant preview of the project.
- Displays are organised into separate independent zones with different contents.
- Compatible with the most widely-available standard multimedia formats on the market (WMF, MP3, WPF, JPG, AVI, SWF, HTML, etc...)
- Option of integrating dynamic content from nearly any source (RSS / XML / intranet / Internet)
- Synchronised management of music and audiovisual channels.
- Segmented content plans are assigned by slide or group of slides and by time period according to a simple scheduling system (similar to Outlook ®).
- Creation of statistics (proof of play) on system use and performance (features shown, instant messages, etc...).
Infrastructure management
Fractalia Media uses an entire infrastructure management layer (based on the award-winning Fractalia Manager platform) which guarantees availability rates of more than 99.7% for all of the devices associated with the channel (players and screens).
- Inspired by the Digital Signage in a Box concept, developed in partnership with Intel® and based on industrial plug & play players and Fractalia's high- and low-level remote management functionalities.
- Client/server architecture with network transparency (Internet or VPN; cable or wireless networks, 3G and 4G) and transparent security protocols (proxy, firewall).
- Compatible with any type of content-emitting hardware (LCD, LED, plasma, projectors, touch screens, audio matrices, Bluetooth® antennas, etc.)
- Remote management and monitoring system for players and monitors which detects any malfunctions in real time and enables remote resolution of most incidents. This drastically reduces costs generated by service visits.
- Remote management of start-up, shut-down, brightness, contrast, volume and useful lives of image devices (monitors and projectors)
- IRS (instant recovery system) for players, even in cases of major loss of software configuration (blue screen)
- Content distribution protocol based on P2P standards: bandwidth optimisation, automatic content sharing over LAN and instant recovery in the event of network failure.
