Radio Automation
Introducing Widgets
Google Radio Automation offers the most customizable user interface available anywhere. We have broken out all of the content displayed on a screen into multiple widgets. A widget is a software program that performs a specific function. For example, the Stack Widget displays what’s on the air now and what’s coming up. Widgets can be added, moved or removed from the screen at-will, allowing each user the ability to personalize their interface based on their individual needs and preferences. We’ve even added the ability to span your display across multiple monitors.
Here are a few examples of some basic Widgets included in the system:
Stack Widget
Google Radio Automation’s stack was born out of the success and popularity of our SS32 stack. It gives you an instant view of what’s on the air currently and what’s coming up. The stack has big, easy-to-read letters and labels, all color-coded to differentiate various types of audio.
To play an item, just press the item’s green arrow. To stop the item on the air, press the stop button. It’s that easy. If you want to move an item, touch that item and then touch where you want it to go.
Library Widget
Most automation systems make you browse through very long file lists to find the song or commercial that you want. Google Radio Automation saves you time by leveraging Google’s advanced search experience. Simply use our intuitive on-screen keyboard to spell out a few letters of the title, artist, advertiser name, jingle, or other audio file that you’re looking for and the results are displayed instantly.
Recording and Voice Track Widget
You’ll especially enjoy the way Google Radio Automation brings all of your recording needs together in one place. The Recording widget configures itself automatically based on what you want to do. If you want to make a simple recording, Google Radio Automation displays only the controls you need for recording. When you want to do a voice track, the Recording Widget automatically reconfigures the display for voice tracking.
Hotkey Widget
Hotkeys are buttons on the screen that, when pressed, instantly perform a specific task. They can play audio, start recordings, control switchers and more. Google Radio Automation gives you the flexibility of displaying an unlimited number of hotkeys. Easily control the size of your hotkeys by adjusting the number of hotkeys per page. The fewer hotkeys displayed at one time, the larger they’ll be.
