Solution
FlashCast is a visual alerting and real-time messaging solution capable of sending immediate notifications across any HDMI-enabled device, smartboard or display. The solution is ideal for campuses, hospitals and emergency communications in corporate offices. FlashCast uses secure cloud connectivity to overlay vital updates instantly without disrupting current content. Built with interoperability in mind, the solution is flexible, affordable and easy to deploy. No new displays. No disruption. Just smarter safety and custom notifications made simple. InformaCast notifications can be delivered to digital signage running Mimo FlashCast to leverage visual alerting during an emergency or for everyday communication.
Benefits
This integration strengthens InformaCast’s ability to integrate with digital signage and expands the notification capabilities of Mimo FlashCast. It solves a thorny problem for even the most sophisticated security and alerting systems: active management across different categories of displays. This partnership offers a single integration that covers all visual alerting across multiple digital signage systems, smartboards, and any independent screen to simplify management requirements. This seamless integration is:
- Flexible: Requiring only an HDMI connection, FlashCast works across nearly every display, smartboard or other visual communication device.
- Cloud-based: Securely connect a school, campus, healthcare network or global office and manage updates from the cloud.
- Affordable: Easy add on to existing displays and legacy security solutions.
- Customizable: Unified or custom-zoned messaging based on the organization’s needs. Messages and alerts can be sent to any group of devices or even to individual devices, as applicable.
Key features and differentiators
- Open API enables third-party integrations for creating, ending and listing alerts as well as listing devices and groups
- Customizable to send messages and alerts campus-wide or down to the individual device level
- Can push through audio recordings
- Insanely flexible – can be installed anywhere
- No new wiring or complex installs: It works wirelessly and integrates with commercial displays already in place.

- Cross-platform compatibility: Mimo FlashCast works across tablets, kiosks, wall-mounted displays, and more, maximizing reach in real-time.
- Accessibility-first: Its visual format directly addresses the needs of the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, fulfilling ADA compliance while serving all audiences more clearly.
