provides live studio broadcast capabilities as well as remote automation
in one integrated system.
Campcaster has three audio outputs: one for live broadcasting, one for
previewing audio, and one for automated scheduled playback.
Some features of Campcaster:
* Live, in-studio playout. The Campcaster Studio program enables
station personnel to play out both individual sound files and premade
playlists such as advertising blocks or entire programs.
* Web-based remote station management. Authorized personnel can add
program material, create playlists and schedule programming all via

set playlists for playback at a date and time of their choosing.
Playlists can be played back multiple times.
* Playlists. Campcaster allows users to create playlists that can be
either played in the studio in 'Live Assist' mode or in automated
mode. Playlists can be nested inside each other, so that a playlist
with a block of ads can be inside of a playlist with a music program,
for example.
* Solid, fast playback. Campcaster uses the popular Gstreamer multimedia
framework under Linux for clean, reliable, fast playback.
* Centralized archives of station program material. Station personnel
* Playlists. Campcaster allows users to create playlists that can be
either played on-demand in the Studio or in automated mode. Playlists
can be nested inside each other, so for example, a playlist with a
block of ads can be inside of a playlist with a music program.
* Centralized archives of station program material. Station personnel
have a searchable, browseable central archive that is accessible both
in the office and via the web.
* Program sharing. Stations can share both playlists and files with a
designated, centralized 'network hub.' This enables the creation of
'virtual radio networks' connected via the Internet. If stations are
not connected to the net, they can
* Search-based backup. Station archives can be backed up using search
terms, so that backup files can be made of only a certain program, of
all files created by a certain user, or of everything.
* Localization. Campcaster is multilingual and supports Unicode. It also
is very easy to create language localizations.
* No restrictions. Multiple instances of the Campcaster Studio program

* Search-based backup. You can backup all station archives at the click
of a button, or only backup certain files based on search terms, so
that backup files can be made of only a certain program or of all
files created by a certain user.
* Localization. Campcaster is multilingual and supports Unicode. It
also is very easy to create language localizations.
* No restrictions. Multiple instances of the Campcaster Studio program
can access the same archive on the office network, and there are no
worries about hardware dongles or keys limiting access on multiple PCs.
* Innovative design. Campcaster's user interface the product of New
York's Parsons School of Design's Design and Communication program -
introduces a number of innovations, including the 'Scratchpad', a
listing of recently-used and commonly-used files and playlists

* Open, extensible architecture. Stations are free to extend and alter
all parts of the Campcaster program code, which makes extensive use
of XML-RPC APIs.
