KAMAR on your screens.
Built for New Zealand schools. Connect your KAMAR server once and POMP shows the school calendar and the daily notices on every screen, with no copying and pasting.
Amazon Fire TV, Samsung and LG apps are coming soon.
How it works
Most New Zealand secondary schools already write their daily notices and calendar in KAMAR. POMP puts that same information on your screens, so the office doesn't have to copy notices into slides every morning.
Setup is a one-off job for whoever looks after KAMAR. Turn on KAMAR in POMP's Settings to get an endpoint and credentials, enter them in KAMAR's Directory Services, and KAMAR starts sending notices and calendar events to POMP. Settings shows how many notices and events have arrived and when the last sync happened.
KAMAR Notices shows today's published notices one at a time, each given enough time to read based on its length, with the rest of the day's list beside it. KAMAR Calendar shows the week ahead as day columns. Each calendar screen can include or hide unpublished, staff-only events, so one playlist suits the staffroom and another the student foyer.
What you get
- KAMAR Calendar: a 7-day view, with an option to include unpublished, staff-only events for staffroom screens.
- KAMAR Notices: the daily notices as a scrolling feed.
- POMP syncs from KAMAR automatically. You can check the last sync in Settings.

KAMAR questions
Can students see staff-only events?
Only if you choose to show them. Each KAMAR Calendar screen has its own setting, so the staffroom screen can show them while the foyer screen doesn't.
How does POMP connect to KAMAR?
Turn on KAMAR in POMP's Settings and POMP creates an endpoint address and a username and password for your school. Your KAMAR administrator enters these in KAMAR's Directory Services, and KAMAR then sends the calendar and notices to POMP.
Which notices appear on screen?
Published notices whose dates include today. A notice that runs from Monday to Wednesday shows on all three days, then drops off by itself. Unpublished notices never appear.
How quickly do changes in KAMAR show up?
As soon as KAMAR sends its next update to POMP, screens pick up the change at their next check-in. You can see when POMP last heard from KAMAR in Settings.
Which devices show KAMAR screens?
It works on every POMP player: Apple TV, Android TV and Google TV devices, iPad, and any modern web browser at player.pompsignage.com, which covers PCs, kiosks and most smart TVs with a browser. Many schools use an Android TV box or Apple TV behind each screen, and the web player on existing PCs. Native apps for Amazon Fire TV, Samsung and LG smart TVs are coming soon.
Which plans include KAMAR?
KAMAR is a premium integration, included on the Basic, Pro and Advanced plans. It isn't part of the Free plan, so you can try POMP on Free with images, video and designs, then upgrade when you want KAMAR on your screens.
