At one station, we have a separate Rivendell machine that only runs sports events. It sends a signal to an audio switch at game start time that switches it on line and takes the main Rivendell machine off the air (it keeps feeding the station's Internet stream, which is not allowed to carry the sports feeds).
At another station, theere is only one Rivendell machine, and the daily log triggers a macro to load and start the sports log, whcih then shuts down the Internet stream feed. At the end of the game, it turns the stream back on and reloads the regular daily log.
I am preparing a machine that will run the regular log as the main log and the sports log as an aux log, but it it not yet in use.

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?
