  • This data is valid only for that terminal and is stored locally.

”+” Tools Button

  • Shows the different AUDICOM tools organized by application area.
  • The menu content can be edited to show only tools relevant to the user.
  • If the user does not have permissions for on-air modules (CyberPlay, Live Assist, Playlist Manager, I-Rec), the bar hides those accesses and only enables the + Tools menu.

Time and Weather Data

This module automatically informs listeners of the exact time and weather data:
  • Temperature

  • Audio is sent to the channel assigned to the CyberPlay module.
  • If AUDICOM is playing other content, the announcement mixes with the on-air audio according to the level set by CyberPlay’s MIX button.
