HARDATA HDX RADIO 3
Major Broadcasters + Radio Networks Automation + Advertisement Replacement

Designed for larger radio stations and those that need to manage more than four stations from the same location, HARDATA HDX RADIO 3’s strong client/server architecture functions as a centralized management hub for each station’s audio, text and news content.

In addition to delivering the same operational benefits of DINESAT RADIO 9, HDX RADIO 3 can also combine the audio, text and listener phone call recordings from the management system and overlay all of those items into one output.

HDX RADIO 3 is ideal for those who manage remote stations from the primary station’s master control. The system automatically generates commercial replacement commands for the remote stations via satellite or internet. Robust storage capacity maintains system performance by distributing content among multiple storage units.

HARDATA HDX RADIO 3 is a complete content management system which allows content ingest, catalog, search and retrieval, incorporating advanced licenses and a user’s actions audit system. This system can run an HDX SERVER SYNC service that synchronizes content, metadata and programming for optimal availability.

To share database and content, HARDATA HDX RADIO 3 allows users to add HARDATA HDX IPLAY 3 stations.

CONTENT DISTRIBUTION
Radio Networks

HARDATA HDX RADIO 3 is designed for multimedia content distribution via TCP/IP connections on a VPN, or through a satellite video, audio and data channel.
HARDATA HDX SERVER 3 can be also used to forward programs to remote stations, collect audit information and send it to the primary master control server, allowing the primary station to manage the network’s content distribution, programming, broadcast and audit.

SNC + SNCoIP
Satellite and Internet Networks

HARDATA SNC technology makes it easy to synchronize and safely distribute content to remote stations and replace national with local advertising. The system handles commands for adverting inserts and deletions, remote recording from the audio channel broadcast history, programming to remote stations and synchronizes network time zones.

The system generates an automatic local audio fill, which allows the user to synchronize time delays between national and local advertising breaks.  The system also automatically detects satellite outages, re-routes feeds to local programming and then reconnects to restored satellite feeds, all handled seamlessly using crossfades.
