Advanced Live & Automated Playout

The Log provides access to your station schedule for Live and Automated shows. Think of the Log as a giant playlist that can be manually built, or automatically built using Myriad Schedule or a 3rd party scheduling system.

Once built, you can use the Log to deliver Live programs (when you are in control of the show) or fully automated playout (for when the station is unattended).

If you have adequate permissions, you can alter the Log, add content, edit the segues and add 'Voice Links' to automated programming. The Log can automatically 'backtime' automated shows for time critical events (such as news), dynamically build music based promos (called AutoHooks) and even automatically post updates to your Twitter* & Facebook pages.

When you are presenting live shows, the Log helps with show planning and execution by providing constantly evolving timing information as well as allowing automated sequences for those all important coffee breaks!

SmartInfo

The SmartInfo Panel dynamically gathers and displays 'live' relevant information from various online sources relating to the active Artists and Songs in Myriad. So as you are playing the latest song by Billie Eilish, SmartInfo will be displaying information about the artists, her discography, album art, year of release and more.

The SmartInfo Panel will display the following information for Artists and Songs.

• Album Art
• Year of Release
• Official Wikipedia Page
• Studio Note (time contextual notes you have added to the system)
• Weather In Your Area
• Local traffic information

As well as dynamically displaying 'live' information from the web, Smart Info will also automatically populate certain information on Songs including Album Art and Year of Release. This information can also be displayed in the Dashboard.

Whether you are in the studio or relaxing at home, our Voice Tracking tools put you in control over every aspect of Voice Tracking.
