With our wide orbit system we have three "round robin" outputs that
cycle in this way. we have a broadcast tools switcher that is wired in
paralell with the three opputs going to the bt switcher and to three
seperate inputs on the board. the switcher provides a summed output
which is routed to a fourth board input and also to a bypass switch that
bypasses the studio completely. using this the jocks can have full
control of the three playing elements, or just use4 the "Auto" fader
from the switcher, and when the shift ends they are to switch the studio
to bypass. the BT switcher also Switches a satelite feed for the news at
the top of the hour.
I realize this is probably not the answer you want, but it would work.

Automatic Mode Output Switching
Hi all,
Its probably my own stupidity but I'm wondering how best to handle the
fact that in Automatic mode Rivendell cycles your sound card outputs.
Hopefully I can explain this better with an example.
I have 2 Faders set up with GPIO macros. When Fader 1 is live, it
triggers a play next on Output 1 (PN 1 1 1!). Fader 2 = PN Output 2
(PN 1 2 1!).
This is all well and good until you get towards the end of the
broadcast day (or any section where you want automatic mode for any
length of time).
As a presenter I finish off my link, "hope you enjoyed the show up
next is the greatest song of all time for your enjoyment, Rebecca
Black - Friday"
Then I lift Fader one and turn it on which triggers my play out on
Fader one.
I finish it off by selecting Automatic and close the studio down to go
home.
The excellent Rebecca Black finishes several bliss filled minutes
later and The Firm Star Trekkin' automatically starts but Rivendell
picks Output 2 to play this on which still has its fader down and off.
But the screams of "just turn the fader on when you leave you ignorant
English luddite" causes problems when you have GPIO on fader starts.
To get automation to work properly, I need to lift Fader 1 and hit on
so that Rebecca Black starts (but leave it low level enough that
nobody can hear it). Select Automatic mode, then tell my awesome
listener that I hope they enjoyed the show and that I'll leave them
with The Firm Star Trekkin.
With that playing automatic mode will cut out the glorious vocal
stylings of our lovely Rebecca and I can lift the fader to the normal
0 db level ready for a night of automated play out.
So thats my long winded way of saying, is there a way of making
automatic mode only use the first play out from the sound card? Or is
there a better macro to use than just PN? (I tried setting Airplay to
only use sound card output 0 but that prevented my macro from forcing
output 1, it just played on 0 each time).
Any info would be appreciated (but I get the impression I need to
tweak the code),
Wayne
