CCM2 for Windows

CCM2 is enterprise level software used to control hundreds of media players 

that can be spread over a diverse geographical or network landscape. This 

type of software is generally very expensive to purchase and maintain, but 

our software breaks barriers in price point per unit. Contact our CE labs 

Sales department for more information and to schedule a demonstration. Our 

customer service department can assist in confi guring your server if you wish 

to purchase CCM2 and host your own installation.

 

In order to use the CCM2 system, an application is loaded on the MP70 that 

will link to the control software using the confi gured server HTTP address. 

This method allows for communications to be established without the need for 

forwarding ports through corporate routers. 

When communication is established, the player is added to the system and 

assigned content packages and scheduling information. Data logs can be 

reported from the player to include proof of playback information.
