In-room TV channel

Your programme, on every room's TV

A 24/7 hotel channel that shows what's on — shows, wellness, dining, announcements — straight from your ODA calendar. No content team, no USB sticks, and nobody has to come on site.

What plays

Every slide writes itself.

The channel loops through a handful of screens and rebuilds the loop every minute from what is in ODA. Add an event in the back office and it is on the TVs before the meeting is over.

Now & next

  • What's on right now, with the live badge
  • The next three, with countdowns
  • Venue, dress code, booking note

Photo spotlights

  • Full-screen photo of the next show or activity
  • Slow cinematic drift, never a static slide
  • Uses the photos already on your events

Programme boards

  • Today, tonight and tomorrow
  • Thumbnails, times and venues
  • Cancellations shown, never silently dropped

Announcements

  • Written by reception in a minute
  • Urgent ones lead the loop and run in the ticker
  • Timed: from 09:00 to 18:00, then gone

Starting soon

  • Five minutes before a show, a countdown takes over
  • Returns every other slide until curtain up
  • Then the show is simply "on now"

Sound, guide, brand

  • Licensed background music, quiet and constant
  • A real programme guide on the boxes' EPG
  • Your logo and colours, set from the admin page
Reaching the rooms

It plays on what you already own.

One small box in the server room renders the channel and streams it. From there it reaches rooms the same way any TV channel does.

IPTV set-top boxes

One playlist URL adds the channel — name, logo and guide included — to every box on the hotel network. Standard HLS, or multicast for large properties.

Smart TVs

Android TV and any set that runs an IPTV app pick the same playlist up. No firmware, no hotel-mode contract required.

And in the guest app

The same channel plays inside the ODA guest app, so a guest by the pool sees what the lobby screen shows.

Set up without a visit

From box to broadcast in an afternoon.

Everything after plugging in the box happens in a browser: the setup wizard asks for a password, your ODA key and the hotel's name, and hands over the links for the TV installer.

10 min
Plug in the box

A small PC on the hotel network runs one install command. It fetches everything it needs and prints the setup link.

5 min
Finish in a browser

Password, ODA key — tested live before it is saved — hotel name, timezone. Done.

1 hour
Add it to the TVs

Your TV installer pastes one playlist URL into the boxes. The channel appears as "ODA TV · your hotel", with its guide.

Day 2
Make it yours

Reception uploads the logo, picks the colours and writes the first announcement from the admin page. We can help remotely, no travel.

The ODA TV channel setup wizard in a browser

The setup wizard — password, ODA key, hotel. Nobody on site.

What you need

Three things, none of them exotic.

Hardware

A small box

Any mini PC with 4 cores and 4 GB, from about €250, or one we supply pre-installed. It sits in the server room and draws a few watts.

Network

A path to the TVs

Wired or WiFi from the box to the rooms' set-top boxes or smart TVs. The box streams; nothing is sent to the internet.

ODA

Your events in ODA

The channel shows what your calendar holds. Keep events, photos and venues up to date in the back office and the TVs follow.

Included on Resort and Group. An add-on on Boutique.

Resort and Group plans ship with the channel. On Boutique it is a monthly add-on, priced per property rather than per room, so an 80-room hotel pays the same as a 20-room one.

The same programme, in every pocket

The guest app carries the channel's content — and the channel itself — wherever the guest is.

Where the events come from

Events, venues and photos are managed once, in the ODA back office, alongside everything else the hotel runs.

Tell us the hotel and we'll set up a demo channel with your programme on it — and show you the box it runs on.
