information from your automation system to
live copy for an on-air read,
or updates to your web site, Center
Stage Live delivers.
There are
three main functions Center Stage Live are:
|
 |
|
When
we refer to RDS we really mean a text messaging system that captures now
playing information from your automation system, scheduled promotional messages,
local weather forecasts, commercials, etc and delivers it to any one or more output
devices including
RDS\RBDS encoders for use in FM Receivers, Cell Phones and MP3 players, HD Radio
systems, Web Site, Listen Live player, and other applications.
Our advanced scheduler is used to
schedule promotional messages by Station, Date, Day-of-Week and
Time-of-Day OR as a "triggered" message that is used when a
specific "cart", Artist, Song or an Advertiser's commercial is played in the
automation system. Use the audit report to list the station, date and time of all
triggered events that were used in the RDS Display.
The CSRDS module does not require an
automation system or RDS encoder providing stations with the ability to schedule programming,
contests, or other information to the Web, Stream or for use in other
applications. For music stations not using an automation system, Center
Stage Live will capture the
Now Playing information from the Neilson BDS information on your web
site or our optional "CSLogIt"
package.

The
Center Stage Live package was originally designed to schedule live copy to the
on-air studio replacing the various copy books (PSA's, Promos, Tags, Liners,
etc). Once scheduled, the copy is automatically updated to the on-air studio for
the station, date, day-of-week and time-of-day the copy is to be used. The user
definable prompters allow on-air staff to pre-schedule copy for live breaks and
view the copy as they prefer.
If
there are issues, the on-line "Fault" reporting feature captures the problem and
within seconds notifies the appropriate department with a "Pop-Up" or E-mail
to off-site support.
Not
only do we reduce our printing costs, but we also reduce our impact on the
environment. Efficient, reliable, accurate, easy on the environment and our
budget. Click

| In addition to the now
playing information from CSRDS, Center Stage Live can also be used to
schedule copy to your Web site. The same advanced scheduling features
used to schedule RDS and Live copy messages can also be used to upload
copy to your web site in an XML format your web master can use to place
the copy on specific web pages and just as importantly, remove the copy
when the schedule has ended.
Center Stage Live will also download
local weather information from the National
Weather Service or Environment Canada, or capture Now Playing information from
Neilson BDS for non-automation periods.
The Center Stage Live Web forms allow
your web master to create on-line forms for song requests, classified
ads, community service messages, etc. Once entered, Center Stage Live will download
the copy to a screener
for posting to the on-air studio and/or posted on the appropriate page on your
web site.
Center Stage Live also includes remote access
modules allowing authenticated users to send copy directly to the on-air studio
and RDS System. Click Here for more information on our Web
