FlexStream Channel Creator
MX-200CCFlexStream MX-200CC – Private Channel Creator
West Pond’s recently announced MX-200CC follows in the footsteps of the MX-400CC Channel Creator and creates private TV channels that are visible on each resident’s television.
Facilities are using private TV channels to inform, entertain, and engage community residents. These channels display signage content, movie night, live events, recorded media, internet video, guest speakers, educational content, and more on any resident TV.
Use our calendar feature to choreograph the weeks TV content, then let it playout while you attend to other things.
Schedule daily playback of exercise videos, physical therapy, crafting shows, or simply set the mood through a relaxation video.
Broadcast live events using IP cameras while recording them for future playback.
All this in a single compact device. No keyboard, no monitor, no racks of equipment and no tangled mess of wires.
The MX-200 can be managed from anywhere using any device via an internal Web UI. The shelf top or wall mounted MX-200CC is feature comparable to a similarly equipped MX-400CC rack mount unit. If your facility is limited in space and does not need to expand beyond the basic MX-400CC hardware inputs, the MX-200CC may be right for you.
