For institutions: When you purchase a 5-year institutional stream or a 14-day In-Class license, NDD provides a link based on your IP address or IP address range. After your purchase, simply add these data to your Account Profile in the space provided. NDD streams will easily integrate with class management software, such as Blackboard. For complete instructions, go to our FAQ Page.

For distance learning: NDD works with your proxy server to provide streams for off-campus viewers. For complete setup instructions, go to our FAQ Page.

For individuals: A high-speed internet connection and audio card is all that’s required.

New Day Digital provides complete streaming infrastructure, so you don’t have to!

With NDD’s completely reliable and secure system, your institution can have all the advantages of an in-house streaming system, without the overhead. Even if your organization has its own system, using NDD to access New Day Films frees up capacity for your servers to carry content that isn’t available through remote streaming.

Streaming vs. DVD

Streaming is media on steroids, providing the capability to reach many more viewers, at any time of day, anywhere within the reach of your institutional intranet system. Today’s students expect media to be instantly available, and with streaming through NDD, it can be - a benefit that adds substantially to the attractiveness of your institution.  And since accessibility = value, streaming New Day films increases their value, at a fraction of the cost of installing your own streaming system.
