-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This sounds fairly sensible - you'll need a switcher to flip between studios that Rivendell can talk to, of course.
I'd suggest that you consider strongly your availability requirements. If your network server dies you lose everything, if I'm reading that right - I'd think twice about having all my eggs in one basket without a hot spare (MySQL slave, synchronized copy of /var/snd, copy of Apache services etc) and maybe some intelligent failover (CARP or similar). You might also want to consider this for your 'master control' Rivendell box. Hardware inevitably fails! I'm guessing you have a silence switcher and an independent Rivendell box or some other playout device sat downstream to provide an emergency audio source. The rest all sounds entirely possible with Rivendell, macros and logs - - as far as best practices go, I'm not the person to ask but plenty of other people on the list can advise!
