X-Sign Broadcast

X-Sign Broadcast delivers all kinds of customized messages, including evacuation and emergency alerts. There are two modes of message delivery: Interrupt and Schedule. Interrupt messages are delivered to the class immediately, appearing on the display’s screen during class. Schedule messages can be scheduled beforehand to appear on the display at a certain date and time. And because the client is connected to the web, it is possible to schedule messages using any computer, Android smart device, or X-Sign-compatible display.
