Up to 4 zones per TV
Full screen, or split into 2, 3 or 4 zones: 12 layouts to choose from. Each zone has its own loop, and at the bottom the time, the date and a line of text scroll by.
Digital signage for fire stations
Instructions, duty crew of the day, message from the CODIS (the departmental operations centre), weather, warnings: every TV in the station shows what matters, without anyone having to think about it. A server at your site, with no cloud and no subscription.
Why this software
Many stations show their infos with online services billed every month, per screen. The players are sometimes rented and leave with the contract, and everything goes through the internet. We did the opposite: a server in your rack, mini-PCs that belong to you, one payment.
On the TVs
Full screen, or split into 2, 3 or 4 zones: 12 layouts to choose from. Each zone has its own loop, and at the bottom the time, the date and a line of text scroll by.
Images, videos, PDF, PowerPoint and Word: you drop the file, the server prepares it for the TV on its own.
Several TVs play the same channel, another TV a different programme. A playlist can run on certain days, at certain hours, and the TV goes black at night.
The station writes in the administration, the TV shows it on its next pass. Important instructions come first, and the duty crew can be reused from the day before in one click.
5-day weather, Météo-France warnings, mobile phone antennas down around the station, news from your SDIS website, almanac and clocks.
Green, orange or red: the administration shows whether each TV is plugged in and displaying properly. A capture of the screen on demand, without travelling.
Automatic infos
Weather, warnings, antennas down, news from your SDIS: everything updates on its own. A tile with nothing to report is simply skipped, and data that is too old is hidden. Never a blank screen.
Alerts come first
A red button, always visible for the CODIS and the headquarters staff. You write the message or start from a ready-made template (18 or 112 line outage, power cut, exercise...), choose the level, the stations and the duration: the banner appears at the top of the chosen TVs.
How it is installed
Running Ubuntu or Debian, on your internal network. The administration is done in a simple web browser: nothing to install on the agents' computers.
Reused mini-PCs, prepared and tested in our workshop before shipping: on site, you plug in and it works.
The mini-PCs only talk to the server. If the network or the internet goes down, the TVs carry on with what they already have. Only the server fetches the public infos, through your proxy if needed.
We reach the server, and from the server each mini-PC. Backup every night, time given by the server, mini-PC updates without a site visit.
Three roles: administrator, headquarters staff, station. The weather warnings use your own Météo-France access: the key stays on your server and is never displayed.
Big buttons, simple words, zero training. And more than 600 automated tests check the server before every delivery.

Prices
One licence for the server, one licence per mini-PC, for life. Prices excl. VAT. Example: a server and 10 locations come to €1,500 + 10 × €150, that is €3,000 excl. VAT of licences, paid once.
One licence per mini-PC, not per TV: one mini-PC drives 1 to 3 TVs.
Reused hardware, subject to availability.
The mini-PCs are prepared and tested in our workshop: on site, you plug in and it works.
