What it does · Casting and travel
Their own screen, and somewhere to go tomorrow.
Two separate Pro:Centric roles that happen to share a page, because they share an idea: the television belongs to whoever is staying in that room, for exactly as long as they are staying there. Casting is theirs until check-out. So is a tour they book from bed.
Casting
The awkward part of casting in a hotel is not the casting. It is that a screen in a public building must not still be paired to somebody who left on Tuesday.
Niteporter ties the casting session to the reservation it already tracks. When RMS says the guest has gone, the pairing goes with them — not at the end of the day, not when somebody remembers, but on the same event that ends everything else about that stay.
Travel
A catalogue of tours, tickets and transfers that you write, on the screen in the room, bookable at the hour a guest actually decides these things — which is late in the evening, not while queuing at the desk in the morning.
It charges like everything else
A booking is a charge, so it goes through the same sundry mapping, lands on the same folio, and is reconciled the same way if a response goes missing. There is no second payment path to reason about.
The catalogue is yours
Items, descriptions, prices and what is offered at which property, edited in the portal. A hotel by the harbour and a hotel in the mountains do not sell the same day out.
What you control
- Whether either runs at all. Casting and travel are separate roles, enabled independently per property. A hotel can have one, both or neither.
- The travel catalogue. Everything a guest sees: what is offered, how it is described, what it costs, and which RMS sundry the money posts to.
- Nothing about casting. There is nothing to configure, which is the point. It follows occupancy, and occupancy is already correct.
The fine print
- These are two Pro:Centric external server roles, registered separately in the Pro:Centric admin client. Turning one on does not turn the other on.
- A travel booking is a charge on the folio, not a reservation with the operator. Niteporter tells you and your guest that it has been booked and billed; somebody at the hotel still confirms it with the tour company, exactly as they do today.
- Bookings follow the money rules — refused while RMS is unreachable rather than taken and posted later.
- Casting hardware and its network are Pro:Centric's side of the line. What Niteporter supplies is the answer to "whose screen is this, and until when".
Everything on this site is one price. A property's room band covers every interface — this one included — along with the portal, hosting, backups and updates. Nothing on this page is an extra. See the band for your rooms · running a group?
Want to see it against your own data?
The quickest way to judge any of this is against your RMS training database. It needs no production credentials, it cannot touch a live reservation, and it is the one mode that lets you watch a whole night happen before you commit to anything.
