What is DES?

DES -Digital Education Services facilities stream multiple live video streams within local school districts. ETV and the State Department of Education have a strong partnership with all the states public school districts. 

DES personnel are assigned by district. The DES personnel oversee the innovative automated streaming systems and processes.

DES Roles and Responsibilities:

• market and train all school staff and teachers on where to access ETV/ITV resources and how to use ETV's OnePlaceSC portal and IP technologies.
• provide duplicates of programs in various media formats. i.e. DVD and video file formats
• assure all copyright guidelines are met.
• manage local streaming, DES district personnel can record off-air or local originated programs and archive for video-on-demand.
• provide utilization reporting that summarizes who, what, when and where videos are utilized.
• assist districts with ETV IP streaming systems with live remote streaming hook-ups and archiving.
• be the communication link and liaison between the district, ETV and the State Department of Education

Each district will be responsible for providing a point of contact. .

We realize each existing DES and District have unique needs and operations, and over the years ETV and SCDE have become dependent on local district operators facilitating those needs.
