ZENON RADIO AUTOMATION SOFTWARE
“When the VoxPro (audio recorder/editor) is on, the software knows to pull up a graphic for the website or social media,” explained Goldberg. He also slaved the Visual Radio software to the VoxPro audio recorder/editor channel in order to cue the system when a caller is on the air. He installed ChyronHego’s Visual Radio software that has built-in logic for setting level and audio duration thresholds for controlling cameras, which are slaved to the four mic channels on the main studio’s Wheatstone LX-24 console. Rob Goldberg of RadioDNA told us about his recent visual radio project for Go Media’s two FMs targeting millennials in Minneapolis that uses special software to live stream the radio program in progress along with relevant graphic elements to match a song on-air. “If you want to use bits from individual microphones for post-production, that same ACI that you used to route and move your camera can also be useful if you want to log, skim and track audio based on microphone,” explained Jay Tyler, our Director of Sales.Įven graphics are getting in on the visual act. This fully automated control takes away one more thing the producer has to do during a busy show, and can be beneficial for editing packages after the show. To do this, camera or radio automation software integrates into the WheatNet-IP audio network through Wheatstone’s Automation Control Interface (ACI) for the automatic camera switching. Think about it: How many times have you seen a jock walk away from a live mic with the fader turned up? These logistics are already tracked by the WheatNet-IP audio network and can give you that one or two more data points needed to avoid, say, sending video to YouTube before the jock has actually sat down to the mic. You can control cameras based on one or all three criteria. That’s good, but even better is to integrate camera automation with the IP audio network.Īutomating camera operation through the WheatNet-IP audio network, for example, gives you camera control based on whether a mic is on, whether the mic fader is up, and whether there’s actual audio coming from the mic. You can set up camera automation to “read” your console’s mic tally so when the mic turns on, the camera starts to roll video. Camera automation software such as multiCAM and radio automation or visual radio software by ChyronHego, WinMedia, ENCO, Zenon Media, and StudioCast manages cameras by automatically turning them on and off, or by switching them between guest positions to a group shot when two or more mics are live. If you plan to put cameras in the studios to record talent moves for YouTube and other social media channels, you’ll need a way to control them. Today’s modern studio has smarts along with good looks, and you’ll want to take advantage of both. It turns out that the modern studio is more than just a pretty face. Visual radio is here to stay from the looks of things, but there's no need to panic. Speaking of things to do with radio… one of the more interesting is the use of video in everyday radio.
