DATN Player is a television-like interface for the Digital Academic Television Network for Mac OS X. It provides:

• on-screen remote control, channel list, and viewer
• fullscreen playback without QuickTime Pro
• channel name and number and other status overlays
• channel presets
• basic support for closed captioning where available
• support for the Apple Remote
• capability to accept input from external A/V control systems
• fully scriptable interface

DATN Player can play any content QuickTime can play, and retrieves its channel list from a MySQL database. The ability to add channels and use DATN Player without a database is planned in the future. DATN Player requires QuickTime 7 and Mac OS X 10.4 or newer. A similar web-based solution for multiple platforms is planned. DATN Player is currently not supported by DoIT.

DATN Player is developed by Brian Deith of the UW School of Journalism and Mass Communication, and is provided to the University of Wisconsin community. Please report bugs, feedback, and comments to datn-player-feedback@datn.wisc.edu.
