AudiCast

Automated web recording and publishing

Introduction

There is much talk about Podcasts, although their meaning is not always clear.
The term POD refers generically to a portable audio player (iPod, mobile phone or MP3 player), while BROADCAST means the distribution of audio/video content in program format to a wide audience.

Therefore, PODCAST is the on-demand distribution of programs and content in MP3 format to portable players.

The AudiCast control fully automates the three stages required to create a radio program in Podcast format:

1. Records the program in MP3, from the opening promo until the closing audio.
   • A single MP3 file is generated for each program broadcast during the day.
2. Automatically transfers these files to the Internet publishing server.
3. Creates a link on the radio station’s website, so listeners can:
   • Download the program to their portable players.
   • Listen to it directly from the web at their preferred time.

This technological revolution of on-demand content gives control to the listener, who decides when to listen to their favorite program.

With AUDICOM, podcast publishing becomes a simple and automated task. Additionally, since all station programs are recorded, the production department can:

• Schedule reruns of successful programs.
• Cover host vacations.
• Use these recordings as legal copies, safeguarding all content broadcast on air.
