The integrated jingle player is a stereo playback-only device intended for up
to eight different audio clips, such as station identifier jingles, applause etc.,
that are triggered from the eight keys shown above.
A jingle immediately starts playing upon pressing one of these keys. As long
as a clip is playing the key is illuminated. If the key is pressed again while
playing, the clip immediately restarts. If a different jingle key is pressed while
a jingle is being played, its playback stops, and the new clip immediately
starts.
These clip files are usually on a USB memory device (e.g. USB stick) that
is connected to the USB socket located below at desk's right below the hand
rest, next to the headphones socket.
The jingle player keys have clip-on caps for inserting individual labels mir-
roring audio file names or key numbers.
On the Virtual Vista application, the jingle player buttons are shown in
'Online' mode only.
The jingle player requires audio files with the following properties:
• USB memory device formatted with FAT32 file system; maximum file
size is 4 GB.
• Maximum memory size is 2 TB.
• Wave or broadcast wave format, file extension 'wav'. Please note that
files using the extended broadcast wave files header are not supported.
• Linear PCM coding; sampling rate 44.1 or 48 kHz; word length may
be 16 or 24 bit.
Memory devices for use with the jingle player need to be formatted with the
FAT32 file system. Some popular formatting utilities will add information
that is incompatible with the embedded system of the jingle player.
It is recommended to use the 'Fat32Formatter' freeware tool for formatting
your USB devices since it has been tested and is known to perform well. It
is available from here: http://tokiwa.qee.jp/EN/Fat32Formatter/.
Jingle audio files must be located within a root folder named Jingle (case-
insensitive). If the system cannot find this folder when the memory device is
connected, it is automatically generated but will be empty. File names must
begin with the character 'J' followed by a one- or two-digit number (1-8
or 01-08) signifying the key it can be started with. The file name extension
must be .wav. Maximum file name length is limited to 60 characters, exten-
sion included.
Examples J01_Logo_1.wav is the station logo that is played upon pressing the
JINGLES 1 key.
The J3applause.wav file is played upon pressing the JINGLES 3 key.
Note If two files should be present the names of which both begin with the
same key number (such as J3_applause_44.1k.wav and J3_
applause_48k.wav), the key assignment is undefined. When pressing
the JINGLES 3 key, any of the two files may be played then.
As soon as a USB memory device is connected to the system, all .wav files
meeting the name convention are verified. Files that cannot be played as they
do not meet the system requirements or have a corrupted file header cannot
be selected.
