IDSMedia in the core

This entire hardware platform is completed with a communications infrastructure, with solutions D-Link, and IDSMedia software LaFore.

IDSMedia is a digital signage solution that allows the client to manage the content they want to display on their network of screens., both in the common spaces and on the television channels in the rooms. It allows any type of content that can be combined in a simple way and that can be programmed for a single computer or for groups. Y, all of them, managed and configured remotely from a single screen.

A solution without monthly fees and that eliminates dependence on other providers to make changes to content or programming.

Among the advantages offered by this content management system is the double edition that it incorporates., one editor to be used by specialized personnel and another designed for non-expert personnel. The goal is for the hotel staff to be self-sufficient to maintain all the content on the screens. A client/server solution designed to be used in all types of hotels and chains, since the system can be controlled from the hotel itself, from the center of the chain or from both.
