Ava Display › Schools

Every screen in the school, one system.

One system where a school normally runs three, and it changes nothing about how a teacher teaches.

What it replaces

Schools run three systems for this. Ava is one.

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.

Wireless screen casting

A teacher opens Ava and taps Cast. Ava knows which room from their schedule, so there are no room codes and no setup. To let a student show work, the teacher issues a one-time PIN from the front of the room; the student casts, nothing about the student is stored, and the teacher stays in control.

Intelligent digital signage

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.

Emergency broadcast

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.

Every screen is intelligent

The right thing, in that place, at that hour.

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.

Main lobby

Welcome message, today's events, visitor information and student news highlights, changing through the day.

Hallways

Rotating student work, upcoming events and club announcements, different per wing and per grade.

Cafeteria

Today's menu, the schedule, student achievements, and the morning news rebroadcast during lunch.

Gymnasium

Game schedules, team rosters and scores, with a scoreboard mode during events.

Library

Reading challenges, new arrivals, quiet study reminders and study group availability.

Front office

Visitor welcome, staff notices, room and event status, and the daily admin briefing.

Built for school networks

Security is the architecture, not a setting.

No open discovery

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.

Closed until authenticated

The casting port on every display device is closed by default. It opens only when the backend explicitly authorises a session for an authenticated member of staff.

Role-based access

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.

Works on any network

Designed for heavily firewalled school networks. Displays make outbound connections only, so a room comes online with no inbound ports, no firewall exceptions and no change to your network.

For the people in the building

What staff actually get.

Teachers

Cast

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.

Student spotlight

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.

Timer

A countdown or stopwatch on the classroom display, readable from anywhere in the room.

Lesson canvas

Present slides and content on the screen while circulating the room, controlled from a phone, with annotation, highlight and zoom.

Emergency broadcast

Override every display instantly, scoped to a room, a building or all of them. Highest priority, always.

Morning announcements

Schedule and distribute the morning announcements and student news to the building, targeted by grade, by building, or to everyone.

Administration

Signage manager

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.

School pulse

A live view on admin displays: schedule changes, facility status and display health, so office screens show what the front desk needs.

Event display

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.

Substitute manager

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.

Device manager

Every display, its condition and what it is showing, with scheduled or on-demand power control over the screens themselves and bulk provisioning.

Morning news, building wide

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.

One platform, not a stack

What each kind of tool actually does.

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.
