How VCTV Works
Using VCTV couldn't be easier. It doesn't take any special skills or training to operate, and updates typically take less than an hour a week to complete.
VCTV's easy-to-use media workstations include:
- A computer text "bulletin board" with a wide selection of backgrounds, pictures, graphics, clip art, font sizes, styles and colors. Images can be accompanied by a wide range of audio applications, including background music, radio station, C/D player, audio tape, live microphone and pre-recorded voice-over. These options allow you to create eye-catching displays that promote activities, menus, change notices, emergency messages, updates, policies and procedures.
- Video at the touch of a button, including footage from DVDs, video tapes and camcorders. You can use VCTV to show movies, educational videos or even live events, which can be recorded and played back later.
- An Internet-friendly network that enables you to link to and update your Web site.
