How you use it will depend on your setup and how you want to make things work for your station.
Some people will tie the on-air flag into a GPO from their console, when the GPO triggers a GPI on Rivendell a macro sets the on-air flag to on. You could also set it to trigger in logs and such - for example if there are times when your programme audio comes from a remote site (satellite, or otherwise) you could have the log trigger to "off". It'll change the indicator in RDAirplay (so you can visually see that it is not currently on the air for example) and such Another possibility - if you have 2 studios where either one could be on the air - you could set up macros so that when one studio is on the air it'll toggle the flag in that studio to on-air, and the flag in the off-air studio to off air. When you swap studios the macro will swap the on-air flags appropriately. Then when you generate your report you'll get what played on air regardless of which studio it came from. How you use it is up to you and your requirements. My best suggestion - set up a test Rivendell installation and try various scenarios out. > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Re: [RDD] Log report of actual played? > From: Tom Van Gorkom <[email protected]> > Date: Thu, October 27, 2016 2:29 pm > To: Lorne Tyndale <[email protected]> > Cc: ermina <[email protected]>, Rivendell-Dev > <[email protected]> > > > OK, so if that is set ON will anything that plays such as from the panel be > captured in the report?
