At the district level, this integrated software enables personnel to manage the schedule for shared district devices, such as a head-end cache of DTV Tuners, DVD players or a conference room PTZ camera used for remote lecturers. Districts can also centrally manage and control classroom projectors to help monitor bulb life, extend bulb life through the All-Off feature and monitor filter status. When used in conjunction with Pathways SM,the SAFARI Montage^® Endpoint and Digital Signage products offer many video display options, including school-wide video announcements like live school news or emergency messages (video and audio) through the All-Call feature.

In the classroom, Pathways SM^™ provides teachers with full-function control of both remote and local classroom appliances, such as a projector or other display device, DVD/VCR players and audio systems - all within a unified interface that simplifies technology in the classroom for even the most technology-reluctant teachers. Devices are defined by the user and their assigned rooms so that teachers view only the media resources which they need to see by using the virtual remote control, making it incredibly simple for teachers who move from one classroom to another throughout the school day.

Virtual Remote Control

Not only is the SAFARI Montage^® Media Player a universal media player, but it also provides a seamless way to control all remote and local classroom devices. A customizable, virtual remote control is provided for each device, eliminating the need for multiple remotes.
