Present in 8 seconds from any device.
Every campus screen managed from one place.

Any faculty member, substitute, or visiting guest presents from any device in seconds — no adapter, no IT call. Your campus communications team manages every screen from one dashboard. And when something urgent happens, every building knows before the next door opens.

How it works

Classroom & Mirroring

8 seconds

Wireless presenting from any device. No adapter, no app, no IT call.

Any faculty member presents wirelessly from any device in 8 seconds — no app, no adapter, no IT credentials required. Works for permanent faculty, substitutes, and visiting lecturers without any prior training or a HelixCast account. Classroom technology stops being the reason a session starts late.

Content & Scheduling

Every screen

Publish once from headquarters. Every campus screen updates automatically.

Each department manages their own screens. Athletics manages the gym. The library manages the library. But when the registrar publishes finals week hours, it shows up everywhere automatically — without touching anyone else’s content. HelixCast’s content hierarchy reflects how a university actually works. IT sets up permissions once and gets out of the way.

Emergency Communications

<5 seconds

Campus-wide emergency alerts reach every screen in under 5 seconds.

Your safety office triggers a broadcast from any browser — every screen in every building switches to the alert simultaneously. Hallways, cafeterias, lecture halls, and offices all receive the override within seconds. When the all-clear is issued, all screens return to normal automatically. A complete audit log records delivery timing on every device.

Lecture Halls & Classrooms

Wireless presenting for any faculty, substitute, or visiting guest.

Any faculty member presents wirelessly from any device without IT assistance — no app, no adapter, no credentials required. Substitutes and visiting lecturers connect the same way on their first day, without prior training or a HelixCast account. IT support calls for AV issues drop to zero.

Campus-Wide Content Management

Publish once from campus HQ. Every department sees it. Nobody overwrites it.

Campus communications publishes the top layer. Every department adds their own content beneath — events, office hours, local notices — without touching the central announcement. No bottleneck. No IT ticket for a lunch menu change. No one waiting on approval to post the intramural schedule.

  • Tiered permissions for institution, college, and department levels
  • Campus-wide content automatically flows into every department’s playlist
  • Self-service content management for all departments — no IT gatekeeping
  • Scheduled content for time-sensitive announcements with automatic expiry
  • Event-based content expires automatically when the event ends

Emergency & Safety Communications

The fastest path from your safety office to every screen.

A single broadcast reaches every screen in every building in seconds. Hallways, cafeterias, lecture halls, offices, gymnasiums. The audit log confirms each screen received it. When you give the all-clear, everything returns to normal automatically — no one touches individual screens. Compliance documentation is already filed.

  • Complete campus override from a single dashboard
  • Real-time audit log with delivery confirmation for every screen
  • Customizable alert messages, colors, and urgency levels
  • Automatic return to normal programming when the alert is cleared
  • Unified control over every screen in every building from one browser
