That's what I did for one of my stations. All my IDs went in one Cart, all the :30 liners went in another, all the :60s went in another, etc.
In the Sound Panel section of RDAirplay, set up a single button for each of the Carts that contain the various liner types. Then, wire up the relays from your satellite receiver to the GPI inputs of your Rivendell computer. Finally, set up the GPIs to push the appropriate Panel buttons when triggered. If you have to mute the network audio, then you'll need to have those GPIs fire Macros instead of the simple audio carts. The Macros will first need to send commands to your audio switcher to mute the Network audio, then they would fire the audio cart. Finally, after the audio cart completes, the Macro unmutes the Network audio again. You can do these things with the Panel buttons (meaning, you put the Macros on Panel buttons instead of just putting the audio Carts), but you could also do the same with a log. In reality, you could do them even without a log or a panel, but then you'd have a hard time seeing what the system is doing in real-time - and an even harder time overriding or assisting. I personally kind of prefer putting any floating liners on the Panel buttons, because it also makes it easy to manually hit those same buttons if the relay closures aren't connected or firing from the network end of things. Hope this helps. --Sherrod On Mar 8, 2016 3:52 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > That's what I was trying to figure out. No it wouldn't be necessary.
