Digital TV Server Education

Play and record live TV anywhere at school

Simple to use with 1-click watch/record online programme guide

Enabling pupils to watch quality educational television, such as science and nature programmes, foreign language courses and documentaries, is an essential part of school life.
Digital TV Server is an innovative new way of making TV and recorded video content available throughout your school.
It provides easy and instant access to any TV channel† anywhere in the school by sending the signal across the existing computer network.
Old video tapes and recorded DVDs will become a thing of the past—teachers can also record and store any programme for future viewing with one-click on the interactive TV Guide.
Digital TV Server also comes complete with easy-to-use video editing tools and free library software, allowing schools to organise, store and distribute any recorded TV programmes.

Benefits

Digital TV Server is connected directly to the Freeview aerial or satellite dish. There's no need for a decoder box, ensuring the highest quality digital picture.
The school has full control, with an administrator able to decide which channels will be made available via a simple web screen. This is particularly important when using a satellite to bring in foreign channels.
The signal is sent across the school's existing IP network, so there's no need to install expensive new cabling. Teachers log in via their laptop or classroom PC, then click the programme to watch or record.
The programme can be watched by the class through a projector, television or PC. News and entertainment programming can also be made available in common areas during break times.

Uses of TV......[Article contributed by Sovind Yadav]

 Uses of the T.V.
Television has a number of uses. First of all, it makes it possible for us to see what is happening far away. In our homes we watch on television, films or events taking place in other cities, countries and other continents. The artificial satellites have made it possible to watch events in other countries directly. Television is a very fine medium of entertainment. It brings musician and the music, singer and his singing and actor and his acting close to us. Whether it is rain or sunshine, hot or cold, we can enjoy television programmes within four walls of our homes.

Television can be used to teach uneducated people. Through it we can improve knowledge of our students and educated people.we can present on TV educational programmes of different categories.

We can telecast other programmes of general information. For example there can be science programmes about modern inventions. Special economic television programmes can be very useful for general public.through them market rates of different articles can be quoted and explained. Political television programmes are of great importance.they bring political leaders and their views close to people.
We should present such TV programmes which entertain the people in the right way as well as improve their knowledge and character. We should avoid the presentation of programmes that may spoil the taste , character and morale of people.

                         THE INVENTION OF THE T.V.

The credit as to who was the inventor of modern television really comes down to two different people in two different places both working on the same problem at about the same time: Vladimir Kosma Zworykin, a Russian-born American inventor working for Westinghouse, and Philo Taylor Farnsworth, a privately backed farm boy from the state of Utah.
“Zworykin had a patent, but Farnsworth had a picture…”
Zworykin is usually credited as being the father of modern television. This was because the patent for the heart of the TV, the electron scanning tube, was first applied for by Zworykin in 1923, under the name of an iconoscope. The iconoscope was an electronic image scanner - essentially a primitive television camera. Farnsworth was the first of the two inventors to successfully demonstrate the transmission of television signals, which he did on September 7, 1927, using a scanning tube of his own design. Farnsworth received a patent for his electron scanning tube in 1930. Zworykin was not able to duplicate Farnsworth’s achievements until 1934 and his patent for a scanning tube was not issued until 1938. The truth of the matter is this, that while Zworykin applied for the patent for his iconoscope in 1923, the invention was not functional until some years later and all earlier efforts were of such poor quality that Westinghouse officials ordered him to work on something “more useful.”

Limitations of TV in Education...[Article contributed by Pankaj Panchal]

Television does not encourage children to go to school but also affects their cognitive and social development. Neil Postman continues on with his idea on how children should learn. It is not what they are learning, since television shows can all be educational, it is how you learn it that is important. By watching television, the children are only expected to play a viewer role, while not realizing the familiarity of their role as a student in a classroom.
