<P CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">Live Support Studio is
the part of Campcaster that completely does the on air playback

known automation elements.</P>

<P CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">LS Studio can be
installed on the user&rsquo;s machine placed inside the broadcast
studio and connected with the audio mixing board that distributes an
audio signal to the transmitter or live stream system. From there,
the user can manage the content to be broadcast live on-air. Users
also have the option of searching and browsing the audio library of
the radio station or the system it belongs to - starting from general
search criteria to the smallest search details.</P>

files and playlists to be ready for broadcast.</P>

<P CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-top: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.19in">You
can remove a playlist from the Scheduler by right clicking on a
scheduled playlist in the table and selecting <B>Delete</B>. This
removes the playlist from the Scheduler , but does not remove it
completely from the system. The playlist and the items inside it
stays in the ScratchPad for the next use.</P>

<P CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-top: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.19in">The
search palette allows you to search (on either a simple or advanced
level) and browse the archive of available files in Campcaster's
storage server, in order to use them for creating playlists,
scheduling or creating Live Mode lists. You can start looking for
audioclips not only by title, but also by general searching metadata
criteria down even to the smallest search details.

<P CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-top: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.19in">The
main part of the Search palette are tabs that gives you the option to

<P CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-top: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.19in">In
the simple search option, the search process is based on keywords

works as a regular search engine. As in simple search mode, you can
search the metadata that you and other Campcaster users have input
during the upload process. The main difference is that Advanced
Search allows you to select as much metadata criteria as you find
relevant to make your search successful. All the search results will
appear at the bottom of the search palette.</P>
<P CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-top: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.19in">The
