General Concepts

CyberPlay automatically creates the radio’s daily event schedule with exact timing. AUDICOM CyberPlay Screen
  • The window displays the complete programming grid from 00:00 to 24:00, including all events, not just computer-controlled ones.
  • Traditional programming blocks are preserved: live shows, news, reports, remote connections, etc.
CyberPlay can operate in:
  • Commercial break mode, managing only advertising blocks.
  • Full mode, based on the PGM programming grid.
To generate a full year of programming (365 days), only 7 templates are required, one for each day of the week.
  • These are created using simple commands in the CyberPlay Editor module.
  • Special day templates can also be defined.
AUDICOM’s Traffic module creates a daily commercial break list in the format:
YYMMDD.LOG (Year, Month, Day). CyberPlay merges and displays both lists (commercials and programming) as a single unified list.
CyberPlay loads the LOG and PGM files at 18:00 each day.
This time can be modified from the Configuration Panel.
The CyberPlay window shows programming for the current day, previous day, and next day.
  • The list can be navigated using the scroll bar.
