MediaMaster Administrator is the configuration and monitoring piece of the MediaMaster system. With it, the system administrator can configure and control virtually every aspect of a MediaMaster installation, from any modern browser, from across the building or across the world.

MMA is also where several key features live:

• create and restore backups
• all-call, zone and room paging
• cancel in-progress user sessions, pages, video streams, etc.
• classroom display control: anything your users can do from their classroom, you can do remotely

MediaMaster Administrator is the deepest and broadest application in the system. It is chock-full of small but useful features:

• Monitor disk usage
• Reboot or shut down the MediaMaster server
• Choose which application tabs show for each user
• Upload mascot icons for locally-originated channels
• Upload locally-created digital video to the title database
• Temporarily disconnect a room's display from the system
• Define the school's class period schedule, so users do not need to input raw time values
• Print a report of projector lamp and filter usage, so you can plan for the necessary replacements
• Connect MediaMaster to your school's Active Directory server to delegate user management to it
• Detect clock skew between your client computers and the server to diagnose incorrect Playlist timing and such
• Manually correct the date and time when network problems prevent the normal NTP correction from occurring
• Upload library catalog files in MARC format to synchronize your school's library management software with MediaMaster
• Define the school's holiday schedule, which you can then use in Playlist to prevent an event from happening on weekdays where no one will be around
• Turn off all classroom displays, either manually or on a schedule. For example, you can set the system up to force all classroom displays off at 4pm and 6pm to catch projectors left on by teachers and janitors, respectively.
