Campcaster Web manages the Scheduler, which is the core of Campcaster. It accesses the same
media archive in Campcaster Storage that the Studio component relies on. Editors can use
Campcaster Web to build playlists and manage files (upload, translate metadata, manage
advertisements) inside the station or via the Internet, using a standard web browser such as
Firefox or Internet Explorer. The web interface allows similar functionality to Campcaster Studio
in accessing the media archive, such as uploading files.
The scheduler in Campcaster Web comes with an intuitive calendar view, organized by months,
weeks and days. Here the program editors can schedule playlists and web streams for their
radio station. In contrast to Campcaster Studio, the web functionality may be used mostly for
broadcasting times where nobody is present in the live studio. In some scenarios, however, the
Scheduler may be the only running component of Campcaster. For example, in cases where the
radio transmitter is situated outside the reach of the broadcaster and all program management
has to be maintained through the remote interface. Possible reasons for such a scenario might
be of a pragmatic nature (running many stations from one central office due to limited human
resources) or an emergency (running a transmitter in a crisis area without putting staff at risk).
NETWORK HUB
Stations can share their program material with other Campcaster users in their media group via
a 'Network Hub', which is a specially-designated central storage server that is available for the
other stations to access. Campcaster makes it easy for users to upload items via the Network
Hub. It's also easy to search for items and then download them from the Network Hub.
Campcaster users can share both audio files and playlists with the Network Hub. If you're
uploading a complete playlist, Campcaster automatically archives all of the individual sound files
and uploads them too. Users at other stations in your group can either search for a playlist, or
any of the individual files that are part of it. Conversely, if you select a playlist for download
from the Network Hub, the downloaded archive will automatically include all of the audio files
that the playlist uses.
EXAMPLE SYSTEM
Combining Campcaster Studio, the Campcaster Web interface and Campcaster Storage, you can
supply a radio station with all functionality needed for broadcasting and automation.
