Modes of Operation

There are currently two major modes for Smartcaster to operation; the most common is

Music on Hard Drive (MOD). Running the systems for satellite automation is the

second. There are a lot of clients that do both on a particular station, run some satellite

programming, and switch into HD mode when there is not satellite programming

available. Lastly, are stations that run off the HD most of the time, but pick up a

weekend satellite show or two and carry these live?

While all of these modes are free to be intermixed at will, determining the mix of these

modes clearly will help in selecting the proper components for your station.

Other items in the mix are: how much of the broadcast day is supervised directly by a

operator, and how much of the time is the unit “On its Own” Building a station from

scratch gives important opportunities to think “Out of the Box” and save a significant

amount of money in construction. Retro fitting a system into older operations, or one

where there was a different brand of system resided before is often the most difficult type

of install there is. Based on hardware placement in the building, and differing

conventions of how each system works.

The Smartcaster system has two computers, the control computer that has the user

software interface, and the Linux Radio Suite Hard Drive or (RSHD) Audio device. The

second computer is where the audio is played from for the system. A Smartcaster RSHD

box has three audio cards in it, two for the output for “Air” audio, and the third audio

card is the cue audio output, and also the analog recording input to the system, this is

primarily used for unattended recordings, but there is a full production screen available

for live local recording at the local computer.

The control closures into and out of the system connect to the Smartcaster control

computer. This is the interface for the RIDZ audio switchers, as well as Smarttouch.

Both of these computers join the LAN system in the station. In the production rooms are

various Windows computers that can use the LAN to transfer audio into the Smartcaster

system.
