CLYDE BROADCAST STUDIO INDICATOR DISPLAY

Illum inated signs have lit up our world for m any years. The Clyde Broadcast Studio Indicator Display takes the concept to the next stage, incorporating indicators,
tim e and inform ation on a video display.
Using standard, low-cost, wall-m ounting, flat-screen displays, this sim ple software application runs in the background on virtually any PC. The source of tim e can
be synchronised to either a station-wide reference (e.g. an NTP Server or GPS interface), or to the local PC. Analogue and digital displays are offered (user
selectable) and as standard there are three on-screen displays, typically for Mic Live, O n Air and Phone, with user-configurable text, back-ground colours and
display type; flashing, burst and continuous. Displays are connected via standard DVI (if supported) or VGA cables (readily available up to 10 m etres), and the use
of an external VGA splitter allows several displays to be connected in parallel to the sam e PC, for exam ple on different walls inside and outside of the studio. For
long cable lengths, high-quality, larger conductor cables are recom m ended.
Interface to the on-screen displays is via an external USB GPIO interface (supplied), requiring external closing contacts. This and the supplied dongle acts as a
licence, but any num ber of displays m ay be driven from the sam e PC, by using a suitable VGA splitter. A scrolling text m essage can be displayed, which can be
set to read the 'm essage of the day' or pointed to a network location so that 'Now Playing' and 'Playing Next' inform ation from a supported on-air playout
system can be displayed. The display screen also contains a place-holder into which a custom er's logo can be 'inserted'.
Each unit is supplied with a 'User Configuration' tool, which allows text, background colour and m ode to be set for each of the displays, as well as source of tim e
and type of clock display. It runs on any current Windows O S with a 2GHz or faster Pentium processor, and uses about 30Mb of m em ory, and between 1% and
2% of the processing power of a dual-core processor.
