One system where a school normally runs three, and it changes nothing about how a teacher teaches.
Casting hardware, signage software and the alerting system are usually three purchases, three renewals and three vendors. Here they are one product on one screen, and none of it changes how a teacher teaches.
A teacher opens Ava and taps Cast. Ava knows the room from their timetable, so there is no room code and nothing to pair. Because it is authorized rather than discovered it is not limited to one room: a specialist reaches four classrooms at once, and an assembly or a principal’s message takes every screen in the building. To let a student present, the teacher puts a code on the screen at the front of the room, shown as digits and as a QR code the student can scan. Scanning it asks for the screen, and nothing appears until she accepts. The code stays up for as long as she wants it there, so she can take one student after another, and ending the session voids it. The join door only answers on the campus network, and the student needs no account and never signs in.
Every screen shows different content based on where it is, what time it is and who walks past. The science hallway shows science. The cafeteria shows today's menu. Eight in the morning shows the schedule. Nobody updates hundreds of screens by hand.
Override every display at once for a lockdown, an evacuation or severe weather, scoped to a room, a building or the whole estate. It always holds the highest priority and it wakes screens that had gone to sleep.
Signage, casting and priority messaging are one license on one device, not three products with three renewals and three support numbers.
Ava chooses what each display shows from where it is, what time it is, and who is likely to be standing in front of it. No slideshow to maintain and no notice left up from last month.
Welcome message, today's events, visitor information and student news highlights, changing through the day.
Rotating student work, upcoming events and club announcements, different per wing and per grade.
Today's menu, the schedule, student achievements, and the morning news rebroadcast during lunch.
Game schedules, team rosters and scores, with a scoreboard mode during events.
Reading challenges, new arrivals, quiet study reminders and study group availability.
Visitor welcome, staff notices, room and event status, and the daily admin briefing.
A single build and a single update path across every screen in the building. A screen’s role is configuration rather than a separate product with its own renewal.
The same device drives a hallway board, a classroom a teacher casts to, and a screen in the commons. The role is configuration, not a separate product with its own renewal.
The safest answer to a student records question is not a promise. It is a product that never holds the records in the first place. Ava Display holds no education records at all, students never sign in, and nothing they do is stored. FERPA aware by design, and structurally rather than by policy.
No Miracast, no AirPlay and no Chromecast discovery on the network. Students cannot see or connect to a display, because there is nothing there to find. All casting goes through an authenticated backend.
The casting port on every display device is closed by default. It opens only when the backend explicitly authorizes a session for an authenticated member of staff.
Students cannot cast without a teacher issuing a code. Teachers cast to their assigned room. Administrators broadcast to any scope. An emergency outranks all of it.
Designed for heavily firewalled school networks. Displays make outbound connections only, so nothing is exposed and no inbound ports are opened. Most school networks need no changes at all. If yours is locked down, the configuration guide ships with the hardware.
One tap to mirror the screen. Ava knows the room from the timetable, so a teacher walks in, taps Cast and teaches. Extended desktop and split screen are supported.
Put a student's work on the screen. The teacher issues a one-time code, the student shares, and nothing about the student is stored. Up to four screens side by side for compare and contrast.
A countdown or stopwatch on the classroom display, readable from anywhere in the room.
Present slides and content on the screen while circulating the room, controlled from a phone, with annotation, highlight and zoom.
Override every display instantly, scoped to a room, a building or all of them. Highest priority, always.
Schedule and distribute the morning announcements and student news to the building, targeted by grade, by building, or to everyone.
Control what every screen shows when it is not in use, per room, per time and per grade. Hallway screens differ from classrooms. Ava-curated, with manual override.
A live view on admin displays: schedule changes, facility status and display health, so office screens show what the front desk needs.
Assemblies, games and open house pushed to the relevant screens. The lobby shows the visitor welcome while the gym shows the game schedule, without anyone setting it up twice.
A substitute walks in, opens Ava, sees the lesson plan and casts it. No hunting for notes, and the room is ready before they are.
Every display, its condition and what it is showing, with scheduled or on-demand power control over the screens themselves and bulk provisioning.
Students already produce a news broadcast. Ava puts it live on every screen and rebroadcasts it at lunch, so the whole building sees the same morning together.
A comparison of product categories rather than of named vendors. Where we compare a specific competitor, we quote and date their own published material, and that lives on the product site.
We do not know what your school pays today, and we will not guess at it. Enter what you are paying now across casting, signage and alerting, and see it against our published price.
Based on our list price of $50 per device once and $40 per screen per year. Your current figure is whatever you enter; we make no claim about anyone else’s pricing. Full pricing →
Published pricing, what switching costs using your own numbers, how it connects on a school network, what we monitor on every screen, and the systems we already read from. No demo required to get any of it.
The teacher taps Cast and Ava knows the room from their timetable. No room codes, no dongle, no cable at the front.
None of the above is a playlist somebody maintains. Each screen is a surface for Ava, which holds one understanding of the place and knows which room it is in, so what belongs there at that hour is composed rather than authored. A bell schedule, a roster and a room number are enough for her to know what a corridor should show at ten past nine.
