With a board-op: I load a special log for the sporting event, and then have the board-op return the system to the normal log in the appropriate place.
No Board-op: I will have a timed event that loads/plays the sports log. I will fill the end of the end of the sports playlist with programming and then near the top of the hour I will load the main playlist which has a timed event once an hour and everything gets sorted out. Another thing I’ve toyed with is a second Rivendell machine just for games. The “sports machine” is put on the air automatically using an external switcher, while the normal air machine continues like nothing happened. When the game is over, the switcher puts the main machine back on the air. -- Steve Rubin Rubin Broadcasting, Inc (p) (408)728-4330 (f) 408-503-0042 (c) 408-406-1308 KTOX-AM * KUNK-FM * KURT-FM From: <[email protected]> on behalf of "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, October 27, 2019 at 5:18 PM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: [RDD] Running live events, advice sought Looking into moving our cluster from AudioVault to Rivendell (owner is balking at paying another $10,000 for the next “upgrade”), and I’m trying to figure out a way to best manage live sporting events from satellite. My current thought would be loading the sporting event into Aux1 and keeping the main format in Main. At the appropriate hard time, a macro cart would run which would load and start the game in Aux1, turn on the appropriate audio and triggers, and run the game from there. Then when the appropriate time comes, restart the main log from wherever the last hard timed event would have put us in the format and unload Aux1. Right now it looks like this might not be feasible, since to segue from one cart to the next during the breaks in the game would require LiveAssist, but if we stay in that mode then the main log will just start automatically playing when the next hard event comes up. How do those of you doing live sports in Rivendell manage it? _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
