AITS – ALP

ALP (Auto Load Page) is a hosted solution that allows for customised slideshows, website displays and videos to be served and played automatically, without the installation or running costs of host computer hardware. ALP can be used on any device with a web browser, including Smart TVs, so that minimal hardware is required on the client end to display content served by ALP.

ALP allows for websites with small content or content that normally requires scrolling to view, to be placed on screen and zoomed in so that only the content that is necessary is visible. For example, the Bureau of Meteorology weather radars are normally rather small and there is a fairly large header above the radar display, making the site unusable for display, but with ALP, the radar can be scrolled and zoomed so that it is clearly visible.

ALP can also automatically load and play YouTube videos in full-screen, enabling product videos and more to automatically be displayed on a large television or display. Multiple YouTube videos can be placed into a slideshow allowing videos to be played in a loop.

ALP also supports image / text slideshows, and any webpage, video, image or text content can be mixed into a single slideshow.
