Improve Communication With The Top Yodeck Alternative

The Newline Alternative Built for Better Digital Signage

Newline Signage Pro is natively integrated on just two panel series, so any screen in your building that isn't one of those panels requires a separate media player purchase to run it. Rise Vision offers a hardware-agnostic alternative that saves you time and reduces complexity, keeping your school community informed, safe, and connected. Rise Vision lets you run one easy-to-use platform for digital signage, screen sharing, and emergency alerts across your Newline panels, older hallway TVs, and any other displays you own, all managed from one place.

Easy for Non-IT Users

Rise Vision is built so you can delegate the day to day management of digital signage to end users. This empowers non-technical staff to create and manage content on their own, without extensive training or IT support. Communications coordinators, operations staff, and front office teams can log in and create more connected and informed environments.
