Planet eStream

Planet PC specialises in the supply of broadcast video technologies to educational, public sector and commercial clients. As well as offering fully project managed TV studio installations we have also developed our own innovative complementary products, including Planet eStream.

Planet eStream is a media streaming and archiving system which provides a complete solution for content management and distribution. It enables users to digitise or upload multimedia rich content into one system and distribute that content to end users in multiple ways. Content is typically delivered via mobile devices, desktop computers and digital signage screens and also fully integrates with leading VLEs.  In addition, Planet eStream offers lesson observation capability and lecture capture. This fully featured solution supports learning delivery by creating a 24/7 on demand repository for personalised learning and supports contemporary teaching practises such as ‘flipping the classroom’.
