The two examples will toggle the audio input between the Analog Processed Mixer
input and the Wave Processed Mixer input. This is useful if a radio station requires
separate commercials on-air and on its Internet stream.
In this scenario, OPTIMOD-PC processes all audio sources to achieve a consistent,
professional sound. No additional sound card is required. The analog input of
OPTIMOD-PC receives the radio station program audio to be streamed. Secondary
playout software, running on the same computer as OPTIMOD-PC, plays commercials
intended only for the stream. This software is configured to use OPTIMOD-PC as its
sound device. When a commercial in the radio station's program audio is to be re-
placed by a different commercial for the stream, the primary playout system starts
the streamed commercial on the secondary playout system and executes
. When the streamed commercial ends, the secondary playout sys-
audio_insert.bat
tem executes
audio_norm.bat
In a related scenario, the digital input of OPTIMOD-PC can be used for digital stu-
dios. The .txt script file would be edited to switch the digital input. Because
OPTIMOD-PC has four inputs, one can imagine advanced scenarios where the auto-
mation switches up to four audio sources.
