Glossary of Terms 351

Term

Meaning

main means of playing non-music audio content to air. Usage of the

term has persisted, particularly among veteran broadcasters who

were active in radio during the time tape cartridge playback

machines were used extensively in radio stations.

Centisecond

A unit of time equal to 0.01 seconds (hundredth of a second).

Closure

Also known as a "Cue". Refers to a signal, typically a contact

closure, sent by satellite programming services to indicate to the

station that some task needs to be performed. Services generally

send a number of different "closures" or "cues" that identify which

task is to be performed locally. There might be, for instance, a

unique closure to signal the station to insert a local commercial

break, a different closure to signal the station to play a liner, and yet

another closure to signal the station to play a legal ID.

Cart Number

Refers to the identity of an audio file. A cart number is the file name

of the audio file without the file extension. In the time period that tape

cartridges ("carts") were used extensively in radio, the conventional

method for identifying a particular cartridge and its contents was to

place an ID number of some kind on the cartridge label. Typically,

the ID number was around 4 characters in length, which was a

convenient size to accommodate placing both the ID and a short text

description of the audio on the tape cartridge label.

CMINV??.DAT

Refers to an audio inventory data file. The file is formatted to a

specification published by Computer Concepts Corporation, Lenexa,

KS. The file contains information about .DAF audio files, including

the cart number, start and end dates, length and Aux Mark.

Current Voice

Also known as "announcer voice" or "voice number". Refers to a 2-

character value representing a pair of digits that might be used in a

cart number. Cart numbers that use the Current Voice value contain

the "##" cart macro characters as part of the cart number. As an

example, at playback time the cart number "ID##" becomes "ID88" if

the Current Voice value is "88". The Current Voice value can be set

with a task (Set Voice Task) or from the log using the Load Window

directive.

Deck,

Playback Deck

These terms refers to an audio playback display control. May also be

referred to as a Transport or Transport Control. A deck contains

buttons to control audio playback for the selected deck, a status

LED, and display fields for remaining play time, cart number and a

description of the audio item playing. See the topic on Audio

Playback for additional information and screen shots.
