Introduction

TDM offers the ability to add external data sources. With these data sources TDM offers the ability to display real-time information within your presentation. TDM offers support for the following external data sources:

- Facebook
- Twitter
- Instagram
- Yahoo Weather
- Office365 Calendar
- Google Calendar
- Flickr
- Yammer
- LinkedIn
- Exchange
- Power BI
- NS
- Axis (People Counter camera)

- Amadeus
- Realworks

This guide will explain how the Amadeus data source can be added, please note that the Amadeus data source is fully supported from version 4.4 and above.

Important:
TDM does not communicate directly with Amadeus to retrieve the meeting information.
Amadeus currently has support for exporting meeting information into a CSV file. The information cannot be exported directly into an XML file and is not hosted on a webserver by default.

This means that some preparations are needed to make the Amadeus data source work.
TDM offers the ability to convert the data to a workable XML file. TDM can also host this XML file so it will be reachable from the internet by your devices and the designer. This is needed to be able to read the information from the XML file.

Feel free to contact our support department at support@tdmsignage.com or +31 (0)20 261 0 985 for more information regarding this.
