Multimedia items can be sent to a screen from any Internet browser on a local network and are presented using customisable style templates.

JADS is a versatile solution that includes scheduling functionality, RSS support and a scalable framework for meeting specific digital signage needs.

Simple, elegant, web-based solution

JADS is a Java application that runs on a computer connected to a large screen designated for displaying information to customers and clients. JADS contains a web server that allows authors to connect to the system remotely from any computer on the local network using an Internet browser. Once logged in, authors can create slides containing text and multimedia using a simple web-based user interface. Advanced rendering technology maximises viewing potential using customisable templates and dynamic content resizing.

Fast deployment

Deployment of JADS is very easy because the presentation computer utilises existing network infrastructure. No additional network or video cables need to be routed and content can be sent from any computer on a network without installing custom software.

Reliability

JADS provides stable, reliable operation with system uptimes exceeding 99.9%. JADS version 4 is the product of 3 years development and testing at the University of Kent, England.
