BISD+Media+Retrieval

= BISD Media Retrieval = = = = BISD is currently installing new media retrieval systems at many schools around the district. The system consists of a rack of equipment that includes 4-8 DVD/VCR combo decks, a digital streaming video server, 6 cable channels, one live video broadcasting channel, one electronic bulletin board (EBB) channel, and 7 digital streaming video channels. The signal from this equipment is then sent throughout the campus to classroom TVs or projectors. = = = = This equpiment will allow teachers and students expanded access to a variety of media resources in the classroom. Current library media resources will be searchable on the new systems along with hundreds of new digital streaming titles. Teachers will use a web interface to search for content, schedule, and control the playback of content. Our systems will have the ability to receive uploaded student- and teacher-created content. This content will be searchable as well and can be made available to the entire district. =
