offers four distinct services to New Zealand schools and tertiary establishments:

Ready To Watch - Off-air recording of television programmes of educational value from national and international channels under the terms of the NZ Copyright Act 1994 and the Screenrights Licencing scheme

Live Streams - Live television channels and live video streams of events specifically relevant to education

The Library - An online archive of videos available at no direct cost to educational users. The Library holds collections of videos produced or acquired specifically for educational use.

The e-cast education Shop - Television and Video programmes available for purchase at pricing levels set by the rights holder. Programmes are purchased through a secure online payment system and are delivered either by high quality downloads or as DVD discs.

The system is secure and addressable, allowing multi-tiered levels of access and control from the occasional student user through to institutional administration. It is designed to support a wide range of user profiles and access requirements. At the core of the e-cast technology lies the e-cast Data Base and Content Management System (CMS) - a purpose-built sophisticated software programme that enables automated operation of all the above services.
