Net-Log Network Audio Logger
The Net-Log is a new way to record and play audio. The Net-Log overcomes the
inherent unreliability of PCs for long-term recording by providing a dedicated
hardware recording platform that uses a simple network connection for audio
playback. Playback software on a network connected PC streams the audio to the
desktop where it can be played out or saved as a file. It has the following advantages :
From their desktop, the sales team can check to make sure that advertising
was played on time and can create audio files to email to customers.
Program controllers can snoop on their presenters, checking performance
and checking that scheduled music was played.
Station managers can check up on their competition and compare it with
the sound of their own station.
The production team have much easier access to recorded audio from past
radio shows for the preparation of future stings & trailers.
