MEGAMIX 2010 FEATURES

---

You can have up to 20 stations simultaneously that would have common songs and their own station songs, own commercials, own objects, own plans and schedules etc… The stations can broadcast from the same computer or even from different computers. The stations can broadcast via FM, via internet or both.

The on-air is designed for multiple screen use. On one screen you can have your on-air, on a second screen your commercials and on a third screen you can have your libraries.

You have the capability to broadcast directly via internet. You can now create and upload to a hosting server web pages that provide information on the station’s program, the song playing now, the weather today etc...

Megamix brings revolution in radio scheduling and replaces the out-of-date ’24 clocks’ with something very modern and flexible: with clocks with plans.  Instead of having 24 clocks per day, now you have unlimited possibilities of segregating a day.

Each object executes internally an activity and returns us always a result. This result is a collection from media. The object is made up various orders from you, for example a filter object can return us as result a combination of songs from the ‘90s that are fast, are in the rock category and have male artist. The objects are used for the plans. Each plan contains different objects and a schedule is created based on a plan.

A powerful and complete mechanism creates your preferred schedules precisely based on the plans of Megamix. Moreover if you have been using another automation program, you can easily import schedules from there into Megamix.

You have now complete advertising management. It also means complete financial management. This way now you can program a commercial based on a weekly plan or for any date you would like. With the financial manager you have the possibility to provide your clients with automatic detailed commercial analysis. Megamix takes care of everything. Rest assured that no mistakes will be made. If you would like to provide your customers with an item used list of exactly when their commercials were played, the program can do this for you.

Rebroadcast other radio stations that broadcast from radio frequency, from satellite or even from the internet (media streaming) meanwhile keeping your station’s identity by letting Megamix broadcast commercials or jingles at the appropriate time.

While you are working, the services automatically execute various activities of the program in the background. Services check and delete expired media, download or upload files to FTP servers, receive e-mails with media from cooperators and place them into live folders. Services check live folders and import automatically new files into the database, create web pages for your site and automatically upload them to your web server, supply your RDS with information such as the song that is playing now, the weather, the traffic etc…

Automatically supply your RDS with information based on your own macro commands.  This way RDS becomes automatically a source of information for your listeners, providing them with useful information such as the weather today, tomorrow, traffic jams, horoscope and of course the song playing now and the next song.

Nowadays radio is not only talk and music, it is also text and information with what you provide you listeners via internet or RDS. This information can be from the simplest (like the song your station is playing now) to written news’ bulletins, weather forecast, horoscope, traffic, stock exchange indexes to anything else you can imagine.

Forget media duplicates!  Each media has a unique number which is calculated with HASH algorithm. If you try to import media with another name but with the same sound, the program will understand it and will not import the same media.

Restrict system access to authorized users. Within a radio, roles are created for various job functions. The permissions to perform certain operations ('permissions') are assigned to specific roles. Members of radio staff are assigned particular roles, and through those roles acquire the permissions to perform particular system functions. Since users are not assigned permissions directly, but only acquire them through their role (or roles), management of individual user rights becomes a matter of simply assigning the appropriate roles to the user, which simplifies common operations such as adding a user, or changing a user's department.

Choose the color that matches you! Each user can have his favorite color combination and can change it any time.

All data of Megamix are stored on an SQL Server. With SQL Server you can import data via internet from every corner of the planet with reliability, stability, security, compatibility and speed.

Manages your media at a central production facility using Advanced Database Manager .This enables a group of radio stations to automatically share audio with everyone, in the same building or anywhere in the world.

Perhaps one of the most unique capabilities of Megamix is its ability to centrally manage the schedule and broadcast of multiple radio channels or broadcasts. Additionally, Megamix can support DAB and Internet broadcasts by offering synchronized multiple media delivery.

The Megamix database system makes it easy to find the songs you're looking for in your digital music collection. Sort your tracks by artist, title or other database field, and simply click on a title to add it to your play list. Want some help? Just click on a few more buttons to describe the type of music you want to hear, and the automatic DJ will create the perfect play list for your mood.

The highest level of reliability is achieved by using a unique SSF architecture for fault-tolerant operations. Servers or Workstation problems are immediately detected and isolated. A variety of redundancy and backup resources or virtual mirror servers can then be automatically activated to uninterrupted recovery.

This is a powerful instrument which will help you control all aspects of sound. For example Start, Stop, Fade-in, Fade-out, Mixing, Intro., Volume. It allows you to move in any part of the file you want to with the help of graphic representation, to replay songs you have already chosen, to cut or to extend a file. There isn't anything that you can't control. Of course the execution is based on a separate sound card so that when your program is broadcasted you will be able to make any possible changes through headphones.
