Video On Demand eMOD Video On Demand
The Maximus eMOD™ (Entertainment on Demand) system was designed for maximum flexibility to meet the needs of any size hotel and to provide a better stay experience for your guests.

We give guests the choices they’ve come to expect while traveling.

By providing a broad range of on-demand entertainment options and full-featured guest controls including pause, rewind, and fast forward, we make it easy and fun for your guest to navigate through their selections. It also is a way to offer your guests music, movies and hotel branded content. This unique flexibility extends to your properties as well. Our system allows an easy transition from standard definition to HDTV (as your budgets allow) and our thorough system evaluation of your properties leaves no guesswork as to what needs to be done.

With the Maximus eMOD™ system, you can also use the guest room television to deliver your hotel’s brand and communicate important messages to the guest, increasing revenue opportunities for you.

The Maximus eMOD™ Digital VOD system is much more affordable than other competitors but offers similar or better functionality such as:

  • • DVD-like controls (pause, fast forward, rewind, bookmark)
  • • Interface to the Property Management System (PMS) of the hotel for direct billing to the guest folio, folio review, and checkout through the television
  • • Runs through the existing RF cable plant installed in the property and integrates easily with free-to-guest (FTG) systems
  • • Compatible with all TV sets (both smart plug and non-smart plug)
  • • Remote diagnostics for maximum uptime
  • • Interactive hotel guest information
  • • 24/7/365 guest telephone support

ORION is specifically designed to operate on multiple platforms or technologies already in place in most hotels. Today, these platforms are the guestroom television, the stand-alone computer system or the guest's personal laptop computer. The hotel may choose any or all of the platforms to integrate this solution in order to promote existing services like room service or could possibly spawn new ideas for services dreamed of by the staff.
