Description:  The following proposal for Digital Signage and Displays would replace existing Mvix systems due to age and difficulties with software usability. Mvix was originally purchased by the MS/HS Principals almost a decade ago and, through updates over the years, has become increasingly difficult to maintain and use.
Additionally, this replacement would include displays in Gym Lobbies for viewing current event streams from outside the gym. This would be an added benefit for parents/community to continue viewing events while eating.

Principals have met with and demoed offerings from Mvix, ClearTouch, and Rise Vision for functionality, ease of use, and cost. From this, Admin has found Rise Vision to be the best value and is recommending the following
