OK, In the next week sometime I will have two stations running RD,
completely independant of each other, that is, separate /var/snd and
database on separate machines. This was neccesary for a variety of
reasons, and doesn't matter anyway as they have zero shared content.
However in the studio and production room, I would like to connect to
either station at will, and I think RD Select is the way to do so.
Here is what I am envisioning:
Each stations server handles playout to air (other workstations use it's
CAE), as well as hosting /var/snd and mysql database. when the studio is
not in use, RDAirplay will run on the server as well.this is similar to
what I have been doing except airplay always ran from the studio
machine. however I have been forced to downsize and stations must share
1 studio and 1production room for now. The production machine uses it's
own audio hardware and CAE. I realize I could use a KVM switch but
again, I have had to downsize and running two less machines would be
great for a number of reasons.
So, I need RD Select to work, and I also need a way to smoothly
transition playout to and from the studio machine and server. I can
handle the audio routing, of which I am well aware of the implications
of what I need to do here...but the software I am unsure of.
I think this all eventually gets controlled by a macro cart?
Anyone doing something like this want to give suggestions?
Thanks,
Nathan
