System examples

We´ve supplied you with some examples on how to build a network environment automation system, using the Radiohost modules. The modules provide a high degree of scalability and flexibility, and the Radiohost system can support your station all the way as it grows. With the Radiohost system you can make a small single PC setup for live assist and minor automation, or you can build a station wide network installation for larger stations.

Example one

The first example is a basic system on two computers in a network. This installation is very popular at small stations or as a starter system for stations who has just started PC based automation. Allthoug the system includes only two modules from the Radiohost suite, it provides you full live assist features and a lot of tools to setup an unmanned broadcast session.

 
 

This system enables you to perform a lot of the basic tasks you require when using a radio automation system, including.

  • Playing multiple overlapping sound files on a single sound card
  • Monitoring multiple overlapping sound files and recording a "voice over" on a single sound card
  • Preparing files with information of overlap, talk times, fades etc.
  • Manage your CD and record collection in a database.
  • Saving your play list for later use

Example two

The next step after a live assist system is most likely a system as described in example 2. The system is expanded with the possibility of music scheduling. With this system you do not have to worry about finding format-fit music for your shows as Heavy Rotation will schedule your music exactly as you decide. Also, a supplemental Broadcast is nice to have for voice-tracking a later show while the first Broadcast is used for live assist purposes.

 
 

In addition to Example 1 this system enables you to.

  • Run automatic music scheduling
  • Prepare your play list on a supplemental computer
  • Use a second studio
  • Run two independent stations
